Talas, Administrative center in Talas Region, Kyrgyzstan.

Located between two mountain ranges in northwestern Kyrgyzstan, Talas covers 13 square kilometers at an elevation of 1280 meters above sea level.

The settlement originated in 1877 when East Slavic settlers established Dmitrievskoye Village, which developed into a town with approximately 100 farming households.

The Manas Ordo complex in Talas preserves the legacy of the national hero Manas through exhibitions, monuments, and traditional Kyrgyz cultural displays.

Travelers from Bishkek must cross Kazakhstan or navigate mountain passes above 3000 meters to reach Talas due to geographical constraints.

The Kümböz Manas mausoleum, constructed around 1334, contains an inscription about Kenizek-Khatun intended to mislead enemies about the burial location.
