CHARYN CANYON TPOR

Anyone who has ever been to Charyn canyon shall remember it forever!
This unusual journey into "town" where time is the chief architect, built the city in style of unique natural landscapes. This so called “city” - is The Charyn Canyon. It is located 210 km east of Almaty. Along the way, we will pass the Kok Pek sky passage and the boundless Syugatinskaya valley.

The Charyn Canyon - is a beautiful monument of nature, preserved for millions of years, where under the influence of millennial weathering of sedimentary rocks, the original form of relief adopted outlines of isolated rocks, columns and towers. The Canyon is extremely picturesque and very diverse in geological and geomorphologic means. Wind and water have created this beautiful "Valley of Castles". The length of the Valley is more than 2 km, and the width is 20-80 meters. Throughout the duration of the walking route you are surrounded by fanciful towers, composed of sedimentary rocks. For millions of years nature has been creating this architecture, carefully and slowly, and raised magnificent castles. You can spend hours wandering past the strange towers, pillars and the marvel exuberant imagination of nature! The Fantastic Valley of Castles in Charyn Canyon opens up a world of amazing cliffs, and towers made of red sandstone, aged 10-12 million years old. The height of the cliffed slopes of the canyon can reach up to 150-300 meters. You can, and you should make pictures that you probably will show to friends and family with a sense of pride that you saw a "Wonder of Nature".
