Discover the dramatic canyon landscapes of Kazakhstan in one action-packed day from Almaty.

Your journey takes you through three stunning canyons, each with its own distinct character. Charyn Canyon — towering red rock formations stretching 154 km, often called the Grand Canyon of Central Asia. Walk the lower trail through the legendary Valley of Castles, then climb to the upper rim for a panoramic view of the entire canyon.

Continue to the mysterious Black Canyon, where dark volcanic walls create a striking contrast, and finish at the surreal Moon Canyon — pale, crumbling formations that look like a lunar landscape.

A hot homemade lunch is included mid-tour at a local café.

Private Tour: Same route, your group only — flexible pace and personalized attention.

English-speaking guide. Hotel pickup from 7 AM. All national park entrance fees included. Maximum 10 people per group.
