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.
This is the second year we have been visiting this place. It is a famous landmark not only in the Almaty region, but also in the whole of Kazakhstan.
It is located 200 km from Almaty.
It is best to find time and see the canyon both from above, there and by walking from below to the Charyn River.
Fascinating views
