Upon meeting your guide at the hotel, you'll hop into a comfortable car or minivan and head to Charyn Canyon. Before the tour, we provide 1.5 liters of bottled water. Feel free to bring your own snacks, tea, or coffee in a container with a lid. The journey to the canyon takes approximately 3 hours, during which your guide will share interesting facts about the history and nature of the region, Kazakh people, their life, and traditions. En route, we will pause in Baiseit village to visit the local market. To fully savor the national flavor, you'll also enjoy lunch at a local cafe.
Founded in the late 19th century, the village of Baiseit, holds historical significance as a former stop on the Silk Road. Today, it is an essential pause point for travelers heading to Charyn Canyon, Kolsay Lakes, and Chunja Hot Springs. Baiseit village stands out with its alley of pyramidal poplars and a bustling bazaar that runs along the route, attracting tourists. Notably, open gates allow a view into every yard from the road. It follows the customs of the predominantly Uyghur population in this village.
Upon reaching Charyn Canyon, you'll first marvel at the panorama from the observation deck. Next, descend to the canyon bottom and take a 2 km (1.2 mi) stroll through the Valley of Castles, surrounded by walls of peculiar shapes. The trail gradually descends, leading you to an oasis on the Charyn River, where an eco-park with yurts (traditional dwellings) and a small open-air café await during the summer. Following a break, we will go to another observation point for a stunning panoramic view. After spending approximately 3 hours in the canyon, we will drive back to Almaty. You'll return to your hotel between 6:00 and 7:00 PM.

Charyn Canyon bears a resemblance to the Grand Canyon in the USA, albeit on a smaller scale. The steep canyon slopes reach heights of 150-300 meters (500-1000 ft), and what truly stands out is the remarkable dissection of the terrain – a dense, chaotic network of numerous ravines. Particularly captivating is the Valley of Castles, where the wind and water have sculpted walls resembling castles and towers. This valley showcases nature's unique architectural prowess, crafting magnificent structures over millions of years. Walking amid these towers and columns, you can marvel at the wild imagination of nature for hours.
