Balhash Travel Guide
Kazakhstan
Balhash is a city of 81,364 people in central Kazakhstan, on the shores of Lake Balkhash. It is a regional city rather than one of Kazakhstan’s largest urban centres, with the lake shaping its setting and local travel interest.
Travellers arriving by air use Balkhash Airport (BXH). There are no named notable beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so trips to the lake are better planned around the wider shoreline rather than a specific nearby beach.
