Overview

  • Kazakhstanians compare the Charyn canyon with the Grand Canyon in the United States. And although the Charyn canyon is smaller in size to the Grand Canyon, but not inferior with its beauty and grandeur - fans of hiking and wildlife from all over the world come here.

    The Charyn Canyon is located 200 kilometres away from Almaty, near the border with China, on the territory of the Charyn National Natural Park. The canyon stretches for 154 kilometres along the Charyn River and is formed from sedimentary rocks which are 12 million years old.
