Tour «Golden Ring of Altai»

Chuysky Tract is one of the most beautiful roads in the world. Ulagansky Pass is the highest pass in Altai with asphalt pavement. Kurkure Waterfall is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Altai. Lake Teletskoye is a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site. We have combined these amazing places and created a unique tour "Golden Ring of Altai", which will allow you to be transported to the kingdom of enchanting Altai nature, enjoy unearthly landscapes and look into the most hidden corners of the Altai Mountains. Despite the fact that our tour partially runs through places devoid of civilization and even wild, throughout the route we have provided comfortable accommodation, exclusive meals from our chef and travel in premium cars - so that nothing distracts you from contemplation and unity with the Altai nature.

Tour parameters:

• tour duration - 4 days 3 nights;
• Length of the route by car – 750 km;
• Walking tour (Kurkure waterfall) – 6 km;
• Cars for participants – Toyota Land Cruiser.

Day 1

No matter how long your trip to Altai is, you can completely rely on us as soon as the plane delivers you to the Gorno-Altaisk airport.

Immediately after the meeting and a short briefing, our exciting journey through the Altai land will begin. We will head for the south of the republic along the road laid along the Katun River. From the car window, rapid streams of water will open up before our eyes every now and then, captivating us with their sound and visual performance. In order to recharge ourselves with the frantic energy of Katun, we will make several stops near the majestic rapids, including in a restaurant on the river bank.

After that, we will go to the place of our first overnight stay – an eco-hotel located 10 kilometers from Katun along the Chuysky tract. Here you can relax after the flight, enjoy a Russian bath and get used to the new time zone.

Day 2

The second day will prepare us for a huge adventure 460 kilometers long along one of the most picturesque roads on the planet - the Chuysky Tract, passing among majestic mountains along grandiose passes. At the top of one of them - the Seminsky Pass - we will make our first stop, from where we will see incomprehensible in their beauty views of Mount Sarlyk, scratching the gray-haired clouds with its peak, measuredly floating by.

Inspired by this poetic beauty, we will continue our way to the next pass - Chike-Taman. Here we have planned not only a stop, but also a climb to the observation deck, from where we will be able to see the old Chuysky Tract, along which traders and warriors passed for centuries.

Having admired this view to our heart's content, we will go down to have lunch on the bank of a seething mountain river. As we descend, we will witness a mystical performance in which the mountains, like reviving gods, will become higher and more menacing, while the grass, on the contrary, will become lower and quieter.

And on our way again. Today we will meet again with an old friend - the mountain beauty Katun. At our next stop, she will merge in a trembling embrace with her younger sister Chuya. This place of power is full of historical and archaeological monuments associated with the movement of the ancient Altai peoples. A little further along the Chuya tract, we will see traces of their civilization - at the Kalbak-Tash tract, a grandiose collection of more than three thousand ancient petroglyphs and rock paintings from the Neolithic to the ancient Turkic era has been collected.

From history, we will once again move on to the beauty of nature, heading to the secret Geyser Lake, which captivates with its hypnotic shimmer of colors - turquoise water gushing out from under the ground, mixing with the bright blue color of the silt against the background of the blue-green dark coniferous taiga.

On the way to the final (and, perhaps, the main) point of the second day, we will make the penultimate stop - this time in the Kurai steppe. Here, nature will once again leave us speechless, forcing us to silently admire the snow-white peaks of the mountain peaks. If we are lucky, these capricious celestials will look out from their cloud curtains to say hello to their admiring spectators.

Leaving them behind, we will continue our journey along the dusty steppe road, and around one of its turns, a completely unearthly beauty will appear before us. This is the Kyzyl-Chin tract, which is not accidentally compared to Martian landscapes - because of the slopes painted in the most intricate colors: from purple, through the entire palette of red and green to snow-white.

You can spend all your remaining energy on a walk through these transcendental landscapes, because after Mars we will again be transported to Earth - to cozy houses on the banks of the Chuya River, where you can share your emotions with each other, enjoying dinner prepared by our chef.

Day 3

The third day along the Golden Ring of Altai promises us separation from the Chuya tract and the Chuya River, but prepares a meeting with new wonders. Having barely turned off the main Altai road, we will begin to dive into the gorge of a small, but very.
