Konorchek Canyon Day Hike from Bishkek

Konorchek Canyon’s magnificence is best conveyed through its nickname, the Grand Canyon of Kyrgyzstan. Also likened to Fairytale Canyon (Skazka Canyon) in Issyk-Kul, this seemingly endless ravine in the Tian Shan Mountains is famous for its red rock formations, a once trepidatious passageway known as the Gorge of Evil Spirits (Boom Gorge) and the Eolian Castles, cliffs that naturally resemble ruddy fortresses due to ages of soil and wind erosion.
Let the Konorchek Canyon Day Hike be your ticket to an unforgettable expedition into this unique arm of Kyrgyzstan’s Tian Shan Mountains. A guide will lead you into the Boom Gorge, through narrow passageways and over rocky trails that end in a spectacular view of the Eolian Castles. A convenient 2-hour trip from the capital, this bewitching mountain gorge is an ideal destination for all travelers, from experienced trekkers to novice hikers.
