Yachting and sailing are popular pastimes on the azure waters of Lake Balkhash. With its vast expanse and good winds, not to mention the beautiful natural scenery as far as the eye can see, it’s easy to understand why this is a notorious boating spot in the region.
Swimming tends to be more popular in areas of the lake that are further removed from the big cities that pop up along its banks - especially Balkhash. In the summer months, bathers enjoy refreshing dips in the lake’s blue waters. Meanwhile, divers plunge down to explore the algae-covered depths.
