What To Expect
Charyn Canyon
Begin your adventure with the dramatic Charyn Canyon, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of Kazakhstan." Here, you’ll explore the famous "Valley of Castles," where towering rock formations carved by wind and water resemble ancient fortresses. Walk along the canyon's paths, capturing breathtaking photos of its red and ochre walls that glow under the sun.
Next, we visit the mysterious Kaiyndy Lake, home to a sunken forest created by an earthquake. The crystal-clear, turquoise waters hide ancient trees whose tops emerge above the surface, creating an eerie yet stunning scene. A walk around the lake offers incredible views and the chance to experience nature’s quiet, surreal beauty.
