Talas Region

Talas Region has served as an agricultural heartland within Kyrgyzstan since the Soviet era. In the country’s northwest, its broad Talas Valley lies between the Talas Ala-Too range and the border with Kazakhstan, with the Talas River crossing its cultivated plain. Talas, the regional capital, anchors an area where grain, potatoes and livestock remain central to rural life. The wider valley is associated with the Battle of Talas, fought in 751, while the Manas Ordo cultural complex near Talas reflects the importance of Manas, the hero of Kyrgyzstan’s great oral epic.
