Russia: Altai

The word "Altai" stands for the ”golden mountains” of Siberia, Shambala - the mysterious Paradise Land of Northern Asia.

Altai - it is wild impassable taiga, high summits and tumulteous rivers. Altai - it is reflection of white clouds in the azure water of mountain lakes, lush florishing of Alpine meadows, yaks and eagles in the sky. Altai - it is Beluha, the highest mountain of Siberia (4506 meters) and the younger brother of Baikal - the spectacular Teletskoe lake. Altai has peculiar power over travellers, which makes you come again and again, it is energy and freedom that overwhelms a visitor every time he comes here.

True wilderness is revealed to those who travels by foot, by horse or by bike, in the small company of real adventurers.

Altai is the best place for rafting in the whole Russia - Chujja and Katun’ rivers are carrying their restless waters along the valleys and rocky canyons, giving to the travellers splashes of adrenaline and impressions of grade 3-6.
