Valley of Castles 19 April 2019

After visiting Kolsay Lakes, we went back to our guest house at Sati Village for a short rest.  Then we packed our luggage and had our afternoon tea before departing the national park and getting back to Almaty.

On our way back, we met Azamat, the Outfitters Team leader when he was getting his guests into the national park.  Vlad then led us to the Valley of Castles, which should be the most spectacular view of the Charym Canyon.

This should be the perfect moment to visit the castles as they glowed in the sunset lights







We made up the twin shadow with the lights.  Not sure why Vlad crouched down near the van.

Realized that we could descent and walked along the canyon, this is the normal practice for the single day tour

A man walked down by himself

I hurried down to have some captures




It's well understood that we were short of time to pay a long visit here.  I then ran back to continue our way back.

The sun set and the sky got dimmer on our way heading Almaty, following R-351.  Not sure which town we passed by, but it was full of stalls for selling daily stuff and food packed with lots of customers.  Vlad said that the stuff should be from China as it was near to the border. 

We arrived at the hotel at around 9:30 pm and this ended our 3.5 days tour.
