Within the tour, you will observe “the Martian” views of the Charyn Canyon. The Castle Valley is also called a “small brother” of Grand Canyon in Colorado because of its similarity, although it is much smaller.

Hi, it was one of the best trip I have ever had...My best recommendation!!! We spend 4 days round trip. Off road just pure nature. Food, service, people involved, equipment meet all my expectations.
One-day trip to the City of Nomads and Tamgaly-Tas Petroglyphs is a great opportunity to admire the scenery of wildlife from the walls of the medieval city. Colorful pictures will be a great memory of the trip. The open-air temple in the Tamgaly Tas tract will bring peace for many more days after the tour.
