(Redirected from Talas Valley)
The 'Talas River' crosses the territory of Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. It is formed from the confluence of the Karakol and Uchkosha, running down the Kyrgyz Ridge
and the Talas Alatau. It runs through the city of Taraz in Zhambyl region of Kazakhstan and vanishes before reaching Lake Aydyn.
During the Battle of Talas (named after the river) in 751, the combined Arab, Kyrgyz, and Nepali forces defeated the invading Tang Chinese blocking Tang Dynasty's westward expansion, and acquiring the Chinese secret of paper manufacturing.
