Itinerary
-
Almaty - Charyn Canyon
- Better start the tour early in the morning, at 7:00 am, or 7:30 am. Why so early? This requires the maximum coverage of the two canyons at the Charyn Canyon and its viewing platforms.
- 11:00: In addition, after the heat begins in the Canyons, we will pass by the cool Valley of Castles. Then, we will go down to the Canyon. A walk to the Eco-Park will take about 40 minutes, possibly 1-1.5 hours. On the way, we can shoot on the camera or phone the stunning views of different shapes of the Canyon that was formed more than 12 million years ago.
- Walk on the bottom of the Canyon, observe the whole atmosphere of a very ancient era. You can feel completely independent here since there is no access to the Internet and mobile communications.
- 12:30: After the walk, we stop at the river "Charyn" in the Canyon area. I can offer you a cup of coffee or tea, a few sandwiches, fruits and cookies. I will tell you a little bit about the history of this place!
- After lunch, you will have some free time around one hour, take in some scenic captures of the Canyon area.
- 14:30: In the afternoon, we will go to the panoramic platform on the Jeep, which will reveal magnificent landscapes of all the valleys of the Canyon.
- 16:30: In the evening, we will start our return journey to Almaty.
- On the way, at the request of the guest, we can check-in at the local "Baiseit" village, where you can taste barbecue (Shashlik pieces of sheep meat cooked on charcoal).
- 18:30: Arrival at Almaty city.
