Karaganda Region, Administrative region in central Kazakhstan
The Karaganda Region extends across 428,000 square kilometers of Kazakhstan, containing steppes, mountains, deserts, and multiple rivers including the Nura and Tokrau.
In 1931, the region developed into an industrial center when Soviet authorities established coal mining operations and constructed labor camps known as Karlag.
The region reflects Kazakhstan's diversity through its population mix of Kazakhs, Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, and Tatars, each maintaining their traditions and customs.
The region connects to other Kazakh territories through an extensive network of railways and roads, with the Sary-Arka international airport offering global connections.
The region contains the Karkaraly National Park, where the Kyzylarai mountain range reaches 1,565 meters at Mount Aksoran, supporting diverse wildlife populations.
