We went on a quiet day in april.there was only 3cars in the parking lot but anyway we still went.paid our entrance fee and had a walk thru.the river current was quite strong as it rained the previous night.
We chose our shoes on the rack to use so we can we walk down beside the river and ohhh boy the water was freezing and of course we weren’t able to cross the river as it’s not very safe so we just took some pictures here and there.
They should’t take whole amount of entrance fee if the area is closed during bad weather anyway it was worth a try
Beautiful place to see the real craziness of nature. You are taken walking in the canyon through the strong River. Remember shorts or swimsuit as you get wet. The park has also zipliners and rafting.
Long journey to get there, only for it to not be open 500yds in, of course they don't tell you that, you simply find out 5 mins later as you round the corner and its all taped off ....goodness knows what the hoards of coavh parties thought who had given up their day and not a small amount if money for the tour .... it was non existent !
I found Saklikent Gorge a bit more obviously touristy than other places around the same area. It’s the only place I’ve had to pay to go to the bathroom in this area, even Pammukale didn’t charge for a loo stop. Whilst the entrance fee is a bargain, when we went, the upper gorge was closed off, I assume because the waters were too high. However, it didn’t obviously say this anywhere at the entrance, so we paid for a 3 minute (admittedly very scenic) walk through the canyon to a small grass bank. This was the end of the road and we went back, total time in attraction - 8 minutes.
Well worth a visit, your imagination will go off in a tangent somewhat wondering what if, stuff like what would happen if a flash flood happened , what if all them rocks came down on us, should I be wearing a hard hat (not they it would help if one of them boulders fell on my head).
You can then go tubing down the river from here which is fun.
