Charyn Canyon Tour

Missed natural wonders? Adventure at Charyn Canyon! Thrilling hikes and views. Unforgettable memories await. Instagram-worthy shots guaranteed.

Charyn Gorge Day Trip - the most popular excursion from Almaty - takes you into the heart of the wildlife. It is believed to have arisen from sedimentary rocks more than 12 million years old.

The most interesting place for everyone who is going to visit Charyn Gorge is the Valley of Castles. It is a complete set of “palaces” and “towers” formed by Pliocene sediments of red color, thanks to which this place is also called the Red Canyon.

Grand Canyon is believed to be the elder brother of Charyn canyon. So it is no wonder the people tend to compare these two canyons.
