Yangykala Canyon

The name Yangykala literally translates as 'Fiery Fortresses' — a fitting description for this stunning 24-kilometer stretch in northwestern Turkmenistan, often called the 'Grand Canyon of Central Asia.'

Natural Beauty

These awe-inspiring, multicolored cliffs — shaped over millennia by the forces of sea, wind, and rain — take on a surreal glow in the golden rays of the setting sun. The canyon's rainbow-colored cliffs become particularly surrealistic in the golden light of the setting sun, creating an unforgettable natural spectacle.

Pristine Wilderness

Remarkably, very few travelers make it to this remote canyon, allowing it to preserve its isolated and pristine tranquility to this day.

Visiting the Canyon

A tour of Yangykala Canyon is typically an overnight trip that includes:

• Transfer across remote desert roads - With an experienced driver
• Camping on rocky plateaus - Overnight under the stars
• Visit to revered mausoleums - Next day cultural exploration
• Caspian Sea shores - Relaxing walk along turquoise waters

The journey offers a perfect combination of natural wonders and cultural heritage.
