点评:We visited Charyn Canyon on our way from Almaty to Bashi Village (Altyn Emel National Park). It was a drive of over 2.5 hours from Almaty. At the parking lot, we descended the stairs (43.35535, 79.054359) to the bottom of the canyon and walked along the path to the river.
On the Tuesday at the end of August, the weather was pleasant for hiking with plenty of sunshine. Although the parking lot seemed quite full, it was not crowded, and at times, there were no other tourists in sight.
The canyon was quite impressive. By the river, there were shelters where one could have a self-brought lunch (we did not). There were no food or drinks available for purchase. We had to wait for the taxi-truck to arrive, and it turned out that we needed to buy tickets first. With the next taxi-truck (there were two shuttling back and forth), we returned.
After almost total 2 hours, we were back at the parking lot. We had lunch at the new Tary restaurant, where we were provided with plastic gloves as utensils for our (horse meat) burger (recommended). After lunch, we walked along the path above the canyon, reaching two viewpoints, with the furthest one (43.354076, 79.07151) offering the best view. On this path, we encountered no more than 10 other tourists.
The total visit time, including lunch, was nearly 4 hours. It was a highlight of our visit to Kazakhstan.
翻译:我们在从阿拉木图前往巴什村(阿尔金埃梅尔国家公园)的途中参观了恰林峡谷。距阿拉木图 2.5 小时车程。到了停车场,我们走下楼梯(43.35535,79.054359)到峡谷底部,沿着小路走到河边。
八月底的周二,天气晴朗,适合徒步。虽然停车场看起来很满,但并不拥挤,有时也看不到其他游客。
峡谷令人印象深刻。河边有一些避难所,可以在那里吃自备的午餐(我们没有)。没有食物或饮料可供购买。我们不得不等待出租车到达,原来我们需要先买票。乘着下一辆出租车(有两辆来回穿梭),我们返回了。
差不多2个小时后,我们回到了停车场。我们在新开的 Tary 餐厅吃了午餐,那里为我们提供了塑料手套作为我们的(马肉)汉堡的器具(推荐)。午餐后,我们沿着峡谷上方的小路行走,到达两个观景点,其中最远的一个(43.354076、79.07151)景色最佳。这条路上,我们遇到的其他游客不超过10人。
包括午餐在内,总共参观时间将近4个小时。这是我们访问哈萨克斯坦的一大亮点。
