Charyn Canyon is a natural monument composed of sedimentary rocks, the age of which is about 12 million years. The height of the steep mountains of the canyon is about 150-300 m. The most interesting spot is the picturesque Valley of Castles, the area where unique plants grow and rare birds live from the list of the Red Book. Walk along the bottom of the canyon observing its bizarre forms. The walk ends at the Charyn river’s bank. There are two exciting stops in addition to Castle valley: the Moon canyon and the merge point of Temirlik and Charyn rivers.
