Charyn Canyon is a magnificent natural monument formed from sedimentary rocks. Our journey was not along the usual tourist route, and it was... incredibly interesting and beautiful! It's definitely worth coming! What didn't you like: When they reached the river, the cars taking tourists refused to take them when paying by transfer, and they had to walk back the same way.

The entrance to the national park is paid, 1,100 tons were given for a man and a car.. there is a parking lot 800 meters from the checkpoint, there is also a cafe with a toilet, everything is in very good condition. There are houses for lovers, you can meet the dawn or spend the sunset. An entertainment in the form of archery. There is an observation deck about 1.5 km away, you can walk, you can rent a bike, there are also golf carts for a fee. Descent into the canyon itself via the stairs to the right of the parking lot. All the beauty opens up when you walk down to the site 2.5 km., Along the way there are benches and gazebos for relaxation. A very beautiful mountain river flows below, there are also gazebos for recreation. You can climb to the top on foot or by UAZ for 500 rubles. The place is great, I recommend you to visit.

If you haven't seen the canyons before, then it's definitely worth coming. On weekends, you can take a bus tour (Google it), and on weekdays you can rent a car. By car — 3 hours each way. The road becomes beautiful at the end. Overall, the road is easy. You can stop for coffee on the way. The canyon can be viewed from above (4 km round trip) or from below (6 km round trip). It's more interesting from below. The route from below leads to the river and back. You can get back by car for 800 tenge (about 100 rubles). They only accept cash. If you don't like walking, then you can get there by car. Overall, the canyon is worth seeing.
