Trip To Amazing Charyn Canyon

Do you dream of a walk in a place that really amazes with its scope and embodies the incredible power of nature? Then go explore the Charyn canyon – a stunning landmark in the south-eastern part of Kazakhstan. Charyn Canyon is inferior in size to the world-famous Grand Canyon of Colorado in North America, but not inferior in scope and magnificence of landscapes. This unique natural asset is located about 200 km from Almaty, near the Kazakh-Chinese border. The canyon extends 154 km in length and 20-80 m wide. As a result of the hard work of the Charyn River, wind and time, the height of the steep slopes in some places reach 300 meters. It is a real paradise for those who love eco-tourism and long walks.
