5.Charyn Canyon Full-Day Trip with Boxed Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 7 reviews · 10 hours · from $50Best value

Travel from Almaty to Charyn Canyon in a small group of up to 11 people. Walk through the Valley of Castles, hear about the canyon’s geology, and enjoy included lunch. Guide Assem is noted for warm service and fluent English.

“super good experience! Our guide Assem is a very nice girl, her service is caring and helpful. She is very warm person with quick response. Fluent English speaking. Pick up on time. But what stands out most is the meal!! I didn’t expect a group tour meal should be this high quality. We had lunch in a local farmhouse with farm meat. Simple but super delicious. The food quality there reminds me of how shitty industrial meat are! Three Canyons are all beautiful! I wish we could hike more for the second canyon. This tour is perfect for people who don’t want to have “military trip”. It’s more relaxing.”
