About
Each country has its own natural wonders. And we have a lot of them in Kazakhstan. One of the most famous and beautiful natural attractions is the Charyn Canyon.
Charyn Canyon - is one of the most unique natural objects, where the influence of the millennial processes of weathering of sedimentary rocks, the original form of relief took the outlines of isolated rocks, columns and towers. Charyn Canyon - a natural monument, built of sedimentary rocks, whose age is about 12 million years. The most interesting place for tourists is the so-called Valley of the castles. In the bosom of the canyon is preserved grove of ash trees and relict species surviving glaciations era. Another similar grove is only in North America. Landscape diversity Charyn canyon leads to the variety of flora and fauna. Charyn canyon reminiscent of the Grand Canyon of Colorado (Grand Canyon) in North America, though inferior to him in size, but "Valley of Castles" unique beauty.

- 1The canyon has been described as the Grand canyon’s little brother and is considered to be the floor of the ancient ocean Tethys. The erosion made by the river Charyn below and the elements created a dramatic and impressive landscape. The Charyn canyon itself is approximately 150 km and in some places up to 300 m deep
About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 882oscarm0 contributionsInteresting but poorly conserved siteAlthough it was a long drive, the petroglyphs were interesting. The area is not properly conserved or protected and there were few interpretative signs. The driver was nice and offered snacks made by his wife as there is nothing nearby to buy anything. The bathroom was a hole in a shed. I expected more from a UNESCO site and believe the tour was substantially overpriced.Written June 22, 2024
- Harry S0 contributionsBeevis and Butthead Petroglyph TourThe Petroglyphs were wonderful, it not sure they were with the $200 plus price. The guide’s English was not particularly good. (He thought “convenient” meant “difficult.”). Subsequently, he didn’t translate any of the local guide’s commentary about the petroglyphs. Neither did the guide own a car. He dragooned a taxi driver friend into driving us out there. He was supposed to provide water, but only looked for a store to buy some when I requested he do so. This is not a very professional company, but may be the cheapest way to get to the petroglyphs unless you rent a car yourself.Written September 6, 2023
