Malak Beslet (1,785 m) is a peak in the Western Rhodopes, in the Beslet area of the Dabrash ridge. Its taller neighbour Beslet (1,938 m) is the highest peak of Dabrash and the highest point of Garmen municipality. The area is covered in old pine and spruce forest, and the broad ridge above it is grassy.
Below the northern slopes of Malak Beslet lies the Beyovoto area. It is hunting ground and bears live here, so make noise on the paths and do not leave food. Ribanski Chal peak is about 6.6 km to the south-west.
There are few marked paths in the area. The climb follows forest roads and needs navigation. The season is late spring to autumn.
