Beschrijving
Charyn Canyon is a National Park and consists of a gorge surrounded by sandstone cliffs. The canyon consists of a section that is now dry and a section through which the Sharyn River flows. The canyon is impressive but offers little diversity in habitats. The western side of the canyon consists of a steppe landscape from which the area can be explored. This steppe borders a gorge with sandstone cliffs and steppe vegetation. This connects to the Sharyn River, which is surrounded by tall vegetation and sandstone cliffs.
During a visit in summer you can see bird species such as: Pied Wheatear, Asian Desert Warbler, Brown-necked Raven, Horned Lark (Brandt's), Booted Eagle, Steppe Eagle, Black-bellied Sandgrouse and Mongolian Finch. The area is a beautiful addition to a day trip around Almaty. The canyon isn't home to any unique bird species absent elsewhere in the region, but it's worth a visit.

Toegang
The Charyn Canyon is located in southeastern Kazakhstan, about 200 km east of Almaty, near the Kazakh–Chinese border. From Almaty, you can reach the area by car or public transport by turning left from the A351 at the entrance sign for Charyn Canyon. Follow the road until you reach a barrier, where you will need to pay a small fee to enter the National Park. You can park your car at the visitor center. Oress P on the map for directions.
The gorge is accessible on foot or by taking a paid ride in a UAZ bukhanka. If you plan to hike, allow for a two-hour walk from the parking lot to the Sharyn River and back.
