If you ever see spectacular pictures of a very narrow, high, smooth-worn canyon with wonderful organic shapes (in Kazakhstan), then it is probably the Ybyktui Sai Canyon: so beautiful! The sometimes strongly flowing water has ground thresholds, steps, kettles, walls, arches, and holes into the limestone - an absolute work of art!
You can go in about 30m, then it's over without equipment. Overall, the canyon is about 300-400m long and also exciting from above.
