Lake Balkhash is a true gem of Kazakhstan, recognized as the largest inland body of water in the country and the second largest inland basin in the world, after the Caspian Sea. This unique lake is distinguished by its striking contrast: the western part is filled with freshwater, while the eastern part is predominantly saltwater with a characteristic sea taste.
