Hiking
Unique limestone formations rise from the desert sand, shining in white, green, and all shades of ochre.
Approximately 5.5 million years ago, the limestone was eroded by the Amu Darya River, creating this deep canyon (Wikipedia).
The cliffs of the Yangikala Canyon are the remains of the ancient coastline of the former Parathetys Sea.
This mesmerizing landscape is impressive at any time of day.
