After meeting the guide at your hotel, you will board a comfortable car or minivan to start your unforgettable journey to Charyn Canyon. Before the tour, we provide 1,5L of bottled water. You are welcome to bring your personal snack, tea or coffee in a container with a lid on it. It will take about 3 hours to reach the canyon. Meanwhile, your guide will tell you interesting facts about the history and nature of the region, about Kazakh people, their life and traditions. On the way you will have an opportunity to stop in Baiseit village to feel the atmosphere of a local market. For a full immersion in the national flavor, you will also have a lunch at the local cafe.
The village of Baiseit, located 130 km from Almaty, was founded in the late 19th century. Once a part of the Great Silk Road passed through the village, but today it is a must stop during travels to the Charyn canyon, Kolsai Lakes and hot springs. The village of Baiseit is recognized from afar due to the alley of pyramidal poplars, as well as the bazaar, which stretches along the route and is very popular among tourists. Locals never close gates, which are always wide open, and you can look into every yard from the track. Perhaps this applies to the eastern customs of the Uighurs, who mainly make up the population of this village.
Upon arrival to Charyn Canyon, you will admire the grand panorama and go down the stairs to the bottom of the canyon, then walk around 2 km through the maze of the Castles Valley with its walls of bizarre shapes overhanging you. The bottom of the Canyon has slight descend to the end of the walk, where you will get to the fresh oasis on the bank of icy cold Charyn river, and where also located eco-park with several yurts (traditional dwellings) and a small open-air café, working in the summer time. After some rest, you will walk back the same path to the stairs and drive to one of the observation points for another breathtaking panoramic view. After 3 hours spent in the canyon you will have your ride back to Almaty. The average time of arrival at your hotel is between 18:00 and 19:00.
Charyn Canyon is a natural complex, unique in its kind not only in Kazakhstan but also worldwide. It was formed during Paleogene and reminds the Grand Canyon of Colorado River in North America, although inferior to it in size. The height of the steep slopes of the canyon is up to 150-300 meters. Extraordinary dissection of the terrain is striking: the numerous ravines form a dense, chaotic network. Wind and water has created the beautiful "Valley of Castles", where you are always surrounded by the fancy towers composed of sedimentary rocks. The length of the valley is more than 2 km, width - 20-80 meters. For millions of years the nature has been creating a unique architecture, erecting magnificent castles carefully and slowly. You can spend hours walking among the strange towers and columns, being surprised by the wild imagination of the nature.
