Kokshetau National Park, National park in Northern Kazakhstan

The park spreads across 182,076 hectares, featuring mountain forests, lake ecosystems, and steppe landscapes in the transition zone between Siberian taiga and southern grasslands.

The Kokshetau National Park, established on April 10, 1996, protects archaeological sites including ancient Botai settlements where horse domestication occurred 5,500 years ago.

The Karasai and Agyntai Batyr Memorial Complex within the park preserves the memory of two Kazakh warriors who defended their lands against Dzhungar invasions.

Visitors can explore 14 hiking trails extending over 200 kilometers, four bus excursion routes, and two water routes totaling 18 kilometers through the natural areas.

Lake Shalkar, located 70 kilometers from Kokshetau city, contains mineral-rich mud and clear salt water used for therapeutic treatments.
