Charyn Canyon is a natural wonder situated in Kazakhstan, one of the pearls of our country. This majestic canyon extends for a distance of 154 kilometers, and one of the largest rivers of Almaty region, Charyn, flows on its bottom. The gaps in Charyn Canyon reach a depth of 300 meters and all tourists who have ever seen them say that they took their breath away. The nature has been forming these majestic reddish rocks for more than thirty million year already.
Excursion on Valley of Castles. The Valley of Castles is the famous bit of Charyn Canyon. Standing on top, looking down, it is an inspiring sight. Especially when the sun is low in the sky, the walls take on colors that are not their own, and eroded stone casts strange shadows on the valley floor. Walk down in the valley and feel the walls closing in. Near the river, a small lodge hosts those who enjoy comfort. If you enjoy camping, move on to the next canyon and put your tent up.
