Charyn Canyon

The place is lovely a harsh beauty, rugged nature of the red gorge. It's either hot or cool or there's a strong wind. The place is really unique. I don't think the comparison with the Rio Grande canyon in Colorado is correct. I think this place is unique in its own way. Charyn river is very deep for our places. As far as I know, the river is very popular with rafting lovers. Charyn carries its fresh cool clean water through the hot steppe. The river has its own character, not soft. Visiting this place here everyone will find something of their own. Spring is especially interesting here. Very interesting flowering of local plants, at the tip of a long thorn, a beautiful bright red flower. We were here on may 12. In Almaty, all the trees have already faded. And here was just about to bloom. The place must be visited.
 
It is about 160 kilometers from Almaty by good motorway, there are everything what need for tourists. Bungalows, camping toilets and gazebos and IMG_20190512_140054.jpgIMG_20190512_140322.jpgIMG_20190512_153649.jpgIMG_20190512_154131.jpgIMG_20190512_154404.jpgIMG_20190512_154729.jpgIMG_20190512_154751.jpgIMG_20190512_160442.jpgIMG_20190512_172051.jpgIMG_20190512_172055.jpgIMG_20190512_172113.jpgIMG_20190512_174529.jpgIMG_20190512_174610.jpgIMG_20190512_180226.jpgIMG_20190512_183620.jpgIMG_20190512_184326.jpgIMG_20190512_140322.jpgIMG_20190512_152515.jpgIMG_20190512_153649.jpgIMG_20190512_154131.jpgIMG_20190512_154404.jpgIMG_20190512_154729.jpgIMG_20190512_154751.jpgIMG_20190512_160442.jpgIMG_20190512_172051.jpgIMG_20190512_172055.jpgIMG_20190512_172113.jpgIMG_20190512_174529.jpgIMG_20190512_174610.jpgIMG_20190512_180226.jpgIMG_20190512_182339.jpgIMG_20190512_183620.jpgIMG_20190512_183637.jpgIMG_20190512_184326.jpga lot of nice views. 750 tenge  from enter for every tourists, it is about 2 dollars. 500 tenge for local taxi, if you don't like  walking. .

Re: Charyn Canyon

Hey @b__andrey,

 

Thanks for the breathtaking photos and also for the travel tips about accommodation and distances! Charyn Canyon looks amazing and I didn't know you can go for rafting there. Have you been there for a visit or you live anywhere close? Is there something else in that area which worth for a visit?
