Tea flows so madly in summer and winter that it is impossible to go against the current. Wooden piers attached to the canyon wall were built on the stream. You advance in a single line from the pier and you reach the place where the tea bursts. You can sit in the restaurant at this point and watch the waters pouring down with a magnificent murmur by ordering ayran, pancake or trout. If you wish, you can cross the ice-cold water to the opposite shore and proceed towards the depths of the canyon. Do not forget to take your rubber or cloth shoes with you, as the bottom of the water is pebbly. The canyon stretches for 18 km, sometimes narrowing and sometimes bumpy. It's hard to go all the way.
