Charyn Canyon

Описание тура

Charyn Canyon is a canyon on the Sharyn River in Kazakhstan (200km east of Almaty, close to the Chinese border). The canyon is roughly 90 km in length. It is part of the Charyn National Park (established on 23 February 2004). Over time, the canyon has gained colorful formations of varying shapes and sizes. Though it is much smaller than the Grand Canyon, it has been described as being equally impressive. For a million years, wind and water sculpted Charyn’s red sandstone to form today’s fantastical shapes and shadows. Besides sightseeing and photography, the Charyn area offers opportunities for walking, and rafting, as well as off-road jeep touring, and simply enjoying beautiful nature.The Kazakh steppe is freezing cold in the winter, and sizzling hot in summer. Charyn Canyon is not an exception (-30° Celsius in the depths of winter to +40° on the hottest of summer days).
