The Charyn State National Nature Park (Kazakh: «Шарын» мемлекеттік ұлттық табиғи паркі, romanized: Şaryn memlekettık ūlttyq tabiği parkı; Russian: Государственный национальный природный парк «Чарын») is a national park in Kazakhstan, primarily along the Charyn river and encompassing the Charyn Canyon. The park spans approximately 125,050 hectares (309,005 acres) and is situated in the Enbekshikazakh, Raiymbek, and Uygur districts of Almaty Region, about 200 km east of Almaty. The park, established in 2004, aims to protect the unique geological formations of the canyon, the ecological balance of the river and desert systems, and important archaeological sites in the area.[1][2]
The park also protects relic Sogdian Ash groves, offering a glimpse of ancient vegetation.
