Tokkuztara

Tokkuztara lies in the broad Tekes valley of the Tian Shan. The Tekes flows east between mountain ranges, receiving streams fed by snow and glaciers before joining the Kunes to form the Ili. Grasslands occupy the valley floor and slopes beneath the high mountains, providing seasonal pasture. Near its meeting with the Kunes the river divides into channels and marshes, creating a wide inland delta.
