Castle valley of Charyn canyon

Is one of the most unique nature tourist spot. Under the influence of thousand-year processes of weathering of sedimentary rocks, the original form of the relief had taken the shape of isolated rocks, columns and towers. Charyn canyon is a natural monument, built of sedimentary rocks whose age is about 12 million years. The walls often consist of large deposits of clay, which at sunset turn red and shimmer with amazing shadows. If you look at the canyon closely, you may “see” an ancient town, which seems to be real under the rays of the setting sun. Here time and natural factors have created countless grottoes, caves, huge cracks, as if some painter had worked on the entire canyon.
