Alakol District, Administrative district in Almaty Region, Kazakhstan

The district covers 23,700 square kilometers in eastern Kazakhstan, containing several lakes including Sasykkol, Koshkarkol, Alakol, and Zhalanashkol.

Established in January 1928, the district underwent multiple administrative changes, transitioning from the Kazak Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic to the current Zhetisu Region.

The district administration operates from Usharal, coordinating activities for a population of approximately 70,000 residents across various settlements.

The district maintains several transportation routes connecting to major cities, with the Tunkuruz Hydroelectric Power Plant supplying energy to local communities.

The Tentek River flows intermittently through the district toward Lake Sasykkol, creating seasonal water patterns that influence local agricultural activities.
