Additional information
The tour goes through the 4 most beautiful canyons of the Charyn National Park. Mostly, weekend tours and excursions to Charyn take place in the famous Valley of Castles. The main flow of group tourists is taken there. But Charyn is not limited to this location. The Charyn Canyon is large, its area is 154 square kilometers. In addition to the Valley of Castles, there are 3 more main locations, which are also unique. Each canyon is unusual and has its own unique archaeological structure.
The Valley of Castles is the most popular and, accordingly, beautiful canyon. It got its name for a reason, the bizarre shapes of the canyon justify it. We will see various forms of the canyon, reminiscent of Castles, everyone can see something of their own in these sculptures created by nature. We will admire the panoramic views from the height of the canyon, after which we will go down to the turbulent Charyn River, observing the canyon from a different angle along the way. Down by the river we will rest in the shade of the trees and can have a snack in the equipped gazebos.
The Moon (Uzunbulak) Canyon is made of clay. It is very different in shape and composition from the famous Valley of Castles Canyon. It is a wilder place, there are usually few people here, and sometimes there are none at all. The Yellow Canyon has excellent potential for walking and exploring. There are many options for excellent hiking. The canyon is called both Yellow (the color scheme matches) and Moon (at night, with a full moon, the canyon acquires magical lighting). In the absence of the moon and a clear sky, myriads of stars are visible at night, as well as a distinct Milky Way.
Bestamak Canyon. A gorge between the Temirlik River Canyon and the Valley of Castles. The length of the valley is approximately 6 kilometers. The exact meaning of the name of the Bestamak Canyon is difficult to translate. It is somehow connected with the color of this canyon. In Kazakh, bes means five, Tamak means dish, i.e. five dishes. So the color scheme of the canyon consists of five colors. In addition, in the canyon you can see various sculptures that were formed as a result of erosion. On the eastern slopes, the sculpture of a large "Teapot" stands out. The Bestamak Canyon is very impressive due to its contrasting color.
