The amazing landscape of Konorchek canyons resemble the Grand Canyon in the USA, but at the same time they carry a significant particle of the unique nature of Kyrgyzstan. It's a fabulous place located 125 km from the capital of the country, in Boom gorge.
It’s possible to get to the canyons only through the labyrinths of rocks on the bed of a dried river. Rocky columns of red sandstone are stretching here for miles. In the canyons time seems to stop, and the traveler feels captured by these picturesque landscapes.
A special attraction of canyons is an extinct volcano, age of which is estimated as 2.5-3 million years. The climate in the canyons of Konorchek is quite unusual and original. In summer it is very hot and dry, winters are cold, but rather snowless.
