Workation in Karaganda: the essentials
Coal built Karaganda, and its Soviet growth relied heavily on forced labour: the Karlag camp system and the deportation of Germans, Poles and others shaped the population of central Kazakhstan. Today it is the country's fifth-largest city, with about 498,000 people in 2020, some 230 km southeast of Astana. Mining still matters, and Karaganda State University and other institutes give it a student side. The museum at Dolinka, in the former Karlag headquarters, is the sight most visitors seek out. Sary-Arka Airport is about 24 km away. Winters on the surrounding steppe are long, and beyond the local history there is little for visitors.
