Day Trip to Charyn Canyon National Park

The Charyn Canyon is part of the Charyn Canyon National Park and stretches 154km along the Charyn River, one of the deepest rivers of the Northern Tien Shan mountains. Charyn Canyon -is a natural monument, built of sedimentary rocks, the age of these rocks is about 12 million years. The height of the steep canyon mountains reaches 150-300 m and some of the cliffs resemble fantastical figures, the reason why some parts of the canyon are also called the Valley of Castles, the Devil’s Gorge, and the Ghosts Gorge. The most interesting place for visitors is the so-called Valley of castles, which is about 2 km long and 20–80 m wide. In the bottom of the canyon, there is a grove of relict species of ash, which survived the epoch of glaciation - Sogdian ash. There is another similar grove only found in North America. Since 1964, Ash Grove has been declared a natural monument.
