Local peculiarities

Chegem Waterfalls is a natural monument formed as a result of interaction of water and massive rock. They are situated where three confluents – the Adai-Su, the Sakal-Tup and the Kayaarty - join the river Chegem. Over several millennia plain water created a wonderful landscape out of narrow gorges, cascades and channels. Each of these waterfalls has its own unique character. Thus, the most vibrant of them, Adai-Su (“Girl’s Plait”), is a giant channel along which water cascades down from the height of 30 meters. The second waterfall of the group located on the Sakal-Tup is characterized by a milder nature. The most fantastic view the travelers will see at Big Waterfall which is a great cascade complex. Here water splits into several overflowing streams that form a load of tiny drops rainbowy shining in the sun.
