Charyn
Canyon
is
situated
in
the
territory
of
the
Charyn
National
Park
which
was
laid
out
with
the
purpose
to
preserve
natural
and
geological
objects.
The
National
park
was
founded
on
23
February
2004.
The
Park
territory
is
inhabited
with
a
great
number
of
rare
and
endangered
animal
species
entered
in
the
Red
Book.
In
Sarytogai
natural
boundary
of
the
Park
territory,
there
are
protected
forests
are
growing
with
one
of
the
most
unique
trees
-
Sogdian
ash
existed
as
far
back
as
the
Palaeogene
epoch.
The
aspen
grove
is
unique,
the
second
analogue
grove
is
found
in
North
America.
The
aspen
grove,
a
monument
of
nature
is
especially
protected
under
aegis
of
UNESCO.
Its
age
is
about
5
million
years.
But
the
most
famous
area
of
unique
interest
in
the
Park
is
certainly
Charyn
Canyon.
This
picturesque
indigenous
locality
impresses
with
its
heavenly
landscapes
The
Canyon
depth
is
200m.
The
height
of
the
bluff
mountains
of
the
Canyon
reaches
150-300m.
The
Canyon
itself
represents
a
monument
of
nature
formed
with
sedimentary
rocks
aged
more
then
12
million
years.
The
landscapes
are
virtually
miraculous
there.
Charyn
Canyon
is
getting
scarlet,
pink
and
orange
colors
at
sunset
when
the
sun
is
disappearing
behind
the
horizon.
There
is
quietude
around,
and
the
Charyn
river
bobbles
washing
against
the
cliffs
can
only
be
heard
from
below.
This
sight
will
leave
nobody
indifferent.
The
so-called
“The
Valley
of
Castles”
is
thought
to
be
one
of
the
attractions
of
the
Canyon
–
these
rock
deposits
resembling
a
tower
by
its
form
seemed
to
be
created
by
unforeknowable
giants.
The
Valley
of
Castles
is
over
2
km
in
length
and
its
width
reaches
from
20
to
80
m
at
some
places.
The
landscape
variety
of
Charyn
Canyon
accounts
for
a
flora
and
fauna
diversity.
Over
1500
plant
species,
17
out
of
which
are
entered
in
the
Red
Book
of
Kazakhstan,
62
mammal,
103
nesting
bird
and
25
reptile
species
are
found
there.
All
conditions
for
a
pleasant
rest
are
created
there
for
tourists.
The
Park
staff
will
take
them
around
and
narrate
about
the
canyon
history
in
detail.
