Hiking
The canyon's massive chalk cliffs reach heights of up to 70 meters in places and stretch for 2.7 kilometers, with an average width of 140 meters. The canyon is located on the Tupkaragan Plateau in Mangghistau's Silicon Valley.
The slopes consist of Paleogene and Lower Neogene deposits. The Paleogene is composed of massive, chalky marls, white chalk, and limestone.
The cream-colored, sometimes dazzling white, walls reach heights of several dozen meters. At the bottom of the canyon lie some very large, fallen boulders.
Archaeologists suspect that a deep river once flowed at the foot of the chalk cliffs.
