Introducing Southeast Kazakhstan
The region from Almaty to Lake Balkhash is known as Zhetisu (Russian: Semirechie) meaning Land of Seven Rivers. There are actually more than 800 rivers, many fed by glaciers in the Zailiysky and Zhungar Alatau ranges, making it a rich area for agriculture. There’s plenty to see and do in Zhetisu and the mountains along Kazakhstan’s borders with Kyrgyzstan and China – a blessing for anyone based in Almaty or whose Kazakhstan travels are restricted to this corner of the country.
