Charyn (Sharyn) Canyon Tour

The Charyn Canyon is often considered the "kid brother" of the Grand Canyon, because of similar landforms of smaller scale. Hike, dine, and explore the Charyn Canyon on one of the unforgettable tours. You will be definitely inspired by the magnificent views of the part of Charyn river basin that formed a canyon, called as "Valley of Castles", which has developed over the past 12 million years. The depth of the valley ranges 50-300 m, the width rangers 20-80 m. Water, wind and temperature, as a triple of the great architects, created this great landscape. As soon as we reach the canyon, we will walk at the bottom part of it, 2 km one way, enjoying the views of sedimentary red walls with natural sculptures of dramatic forms. After 2 km of the gradual walk, we will reach a river stream surrounded by ancient trees and hosting camping area. If available, the return to the starting point of the hiking tour can be done via a special vehicle
