Tourist information
Tamshaly Canyon is known for its waterfall and picturesque lake with crystal-clear water. Day excursions and overnight stays on the lake's shores are available. Geologists have reported that the area may have sunk below sea level in ancient times, causing water to emerge from underground, but this is only a theory. There's also a stream (a water source) here, also called Tamshaly. The canyon can be reached via a road and a descent called Karagan.
