Charyn National Park Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

Charyn Gorge National Park is located about 210 kilometers east of the city of Almaty and is one of the famous tourist attractions in Kazakhstan. The Charon Grand Canyon was formed due to geological changes, like a long and narrow crack torn by God in the hinterland of the grassland. Its magnificent scenery is comparable to the world-famous Grand Canyon in the United States. Due to the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow over the years, every peak in the canyon has become different in shape and rugged. Some are like roosters with their heads held high, some are like mysterious castles, some are like a butterfly facing the wind, and some are like galloping horses. Every boulder here has an ancient legend. The landscape diversity of Charon Gorge results in the diversity of flora and fauna. There are more than 1,500 species of plants living in the canyon, 17 of which are listed in the Kazakhstan Red Book of Nature Conservation.
