Turkistan Region, Administrative region in southern Kazakhstan.
The Turkistan Region spans 117,300 square kilometers of diverse terrain, featuring the Syr Darya River and multiple urban centers across its territory.
This region transformed from South Kazakhstan Oblast during Soviet times to its current designation as Turkistan Region in 2018 through administrative reforms.
Each district within the region maintains distinct Kazakh traditions, with local communities celebrating their heritage through music, dance, and seasonal festivals.
The region connects to other parts of Kazakhstan and neighboring countries through an extensive network of highways, railways, and regional airports.
Recent excavations at Tutta Cave within the region reveal evidence of early human settlements, making it a significant archaeological research location.
