Trip to Charyn Canyon
Visiting Charyn Canyon with friends was an unforgettable experience! The views are absolutely breathtaking like a mini Grand Canyon in Kazakhstan. With our best tour guide, Adil, we had a great time exploring, hiking, and taking photos. He made the trip even more enjoyable with his knowledge and friendliness. Highly recommend visiting Charyn Canyon, and if you can, go with Adil he’ll make the adventure even better!

Spectacular is the word for Kazakhstan.
One word experience is “Spectacular” Charyn Canyon is just coming out of Hollywood movie scenes. So the word Spectacular is just true. November is a colder time definitely, but for us, since my wife and myself enjoy the winters it was a dream come true period. The crowds are less and you get the feeling of having the places exclusively available for us. Overall, Kazakhstan on the whole has been Wow! Dreamy! Simply, Amazing! We had a personal expert guide us through the entire trip. Miras A. was so kind to us throughout our trip, helpful in every simple and complicated thing, patient when we were late, expert in his work around the entire journey. We also explored, Shymbulak, totally gorgeous mountain tops to explore, ski, cable car, make beautiful pictures. Oi Qaragay is another splendid place to njoy tree house, Khema (Tent) in a fully local Kazakh style cultural living or hotel stays with all the mountains and adventures in one place. Trust me it was totally romantic and adventurous at the same time so totally worth the money. Food in Kazakhstan in general was simply amazing. We even enjoyed luxury meals in full capacity. Overall, loved our stay, would recommend our humble soul Miras to anyone who would love to enjoy a full experience with a known someone from the local hearts. The communication would definitely get very smooth around the stay. Would say he made our trip so much worthwhile. Would love to keep coming back just to find the peace and beauty.

Charyn Canyon - the Grand Canyon of Central Asia
My teens and I had a great time exploring Charyn Canyon with our guide Togzhan. The views were gorgeous especially from the top. So be sure to climb up rather than just walk on the flat ground. It's very cold in the winter but the view and experience is well worth it.
