From Almaty to Charyn Canyon and Valley of Castles

What to expect

You will walk through the Charyn Canyon - the bottom of the ancient Tethys Ocean, a place unique in its beauty and energy. Water and wind have created incredible figures from sedimentary rocks. Very atmospheric photos are taken here! Leisurely wander through the Valley of Castles and admire the huge sculptures in the form of columns, towers, and mysterious creatures.

Then you will have lunch in a cozy cafe at the top, and after a rest, continue to explore the surroundings. Walk along the upper edge of the canyon and enjoy the fantastic panoramic view of the canyon from above.
