Hyani is a tower complex on a mountain slope in the center of the Chulkhoy Gorge, near the Chulkha River. It consists of three well-preserved castle complexes, which include three combat, three semi-combat and several residential towers connected by long barrier walls. The first two battle towers of Hyani, reaching a height of 30 meters, are vivid examples of the period of the highest heyday of construction in Ingushetia. The third four-storey battle tower reached 16 meters and had a flat roof with a jagged finish with cone-shaped stones. In 2011-2012 the towers were renovated.

In the Khian you can see the ruins of crypts and a core-shaped mausoleum of the XV century. The temple-sanctuary of Khanhe Seli has not survived to our days.

The Khiani Tower Complex is part of the Dzhirakh-Assin State Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve and is an identified object of cultural heritage protected by the state.
