Charyn Canyon, Kazakhstan

I always tell my friends, I'm more of a interactionist (I travel to interact with cultures) than a naturalist and that hopping from scenery to scenery is likely to bore me to bits. But this trip was highly recommended by my Kaz friends and we spotted a discount on chocolife (the groupon of Kaz) so...why not?

Looking back, I'm not sure if the whole 14 hr journey was worth it because I ended up with sore legs, an extremely tired body from the rocky bus rides and possibly damaged lungs (the bus was leaking fumes). Anyhow, let the pictures talk for themselves about the trip~

 Our bus actually stalled on the way to Charyn Canyon and we were left to explore the vast lands of nothingness with no informatin of what happens next. Ended up spending the hour camwhoring and stealing bits of our packed lunch.

 Breaking bad anyone?

 Finally we arrive at Charyn Canyon and started our descent into the Canyon.

 Every angle of the canyon was a photospot, no joke


 i took picture with every signage. HAHAHA

 Angry. Because the ATV rentals were crazily expensive



Getting there (from Almaty): we bought a Chocolife coupon for about 2400Tenge (~USD13) inclusive of both ways but exclusive of lunch. Pick up point was at the Central Stadium but it may vary depending on which agency you book under!

Tip: some websites priced Charyn Canyon tours at almost USD100 so do check out chocolife for discounted prices instead! Or get a local to buy it for you to prevent getting "tourist prices".
