Tourist Information
The tract is a desolate area with many hills and depressions. The Charyn River runs along the bottom of the tract, so we can look down and look at the river itself. It is dangerous to go down to the river, so it is best to observe the river from a hill.
There are several panoramic views of the Moyintogai tract and the Charyn River, the scale of these places is amazing. Green trees grow along the river, which gives the river a magical appearance, and in spring the river is sometimes not even visible from the flowering trees. Then the river exits the canyon and flows through the Ili Valley. There is also the Kurtogai tract, which is located as if above and preceding the Moyintogai tract.
To get to the grand canyon on the Charyn River, it is necessary to move along the technological, old, dirt road along the power line, which crosses the Almty – Zharkent highway 16 kilometers before the Chongjinsky Bridge.
