About This Tour
This private day tour brings you to one of Kazakhstan’s most iconic natural landscapes — Charyn Canyon, with its most striking section known as the Valley of Castles. Unlike rushed multi-stop trips, this experience is designed as a single-destination excursion from Almaty with plenty of time to explore and enjoy the magnificent canyon scenery at a relaxed pace. The Valley of Castles is renowned for its dramatic rock formations sculpted by millions of years of erosion, with towering walls of sedimentary rock and intricate shapes that evoke castles and natural sculptures. During the visit, travelers will have time to walk along the canyon floor, take in panoramic views, and appreciate the scale and color of this unique landscape. All logistics, national park entry fees, lunch and guiding are included, making this a well-organized and scenic day trip ideal for nature and geology enthusiasts.
