Perched on a hill, the walls of Chilpik Kala dominate the desert steppe. Before being a citadel, it was mainly a tower of silence: a place where the dead were deposited according to Zoroastrian rites. The corpses decomposed in the open air, and only the bones were then recovered by relatives. It was built between the 2nd and 4th centuries, but was still used in the following centuries. The site can be visited if you go to Noukous, from which it is perfectly visible, on the left side of the road.

incontournable
Sur le circuit des forteresses du désert Chipyk sera vous étonner et surprendre, cette grande falaise visible de loin avec son parking et sa billetterie (20 000 sums) vous obligera à y monter par un sentier aménagé pour débuter et ensuite ne pas hésiter sur les derniers 200 mètres avec un cheminement très étroit (un pied devant l'autre) et là surprise avec cette grande place intérieure et quelques ruines vous faisant imaginer l'ensemble en son temps, magique!! grandiose et beau!. Ne pas manquer de voir les cultures et rivières en contrebas dans ce désert.
