The Karaganda Oblast occupies the main part of the historical and geographical territory of Sary-Arka, in Kazakh it means yellow or golden mountains. The Karkaraly Mountains are prominent among silk-grass and wormwood steppes and amaze by bizarre stone topography. The Karkaraly oasis is decorated with legendary mountain lakes enchanted by many writers and poets: Shaitankol or the Devil Lake, and Bassein are picturesquely situated in the woods embedded in the mountain range. Balkhash, the largest lake of Kazakhstan, is situated in the south of the Oblast. It is unique as the water in the eastern part of the lake is salty, and the water in the western part is fresh. he Kent, Bakhty, Kyzylarai and Ulytau mountains keep many centuries of history and at all times their beauty carried people away.
