Introducing Taldyqorghan
The surprise transfer in 2001 of the oblys (regional or provincial) capital from Almaty to smaller Taldyqorghan (Russian: Taldy-Kurgan) breathed new life into this previously declining town. It’s now quite a bustling place with attractive, wide, central streets and a leafy central park on Abay. Situated 265km northeast of Almaty, Taldyqorghan is chiefly of interest to visitors as a staging post to Lepsinsk and the Zhungar Alatau mountains, as well as the southern shore of Lake Balkhash.
