The last days we are enjoying very beautiful natural phenomenon – blossoming of evergreen shrub Rhododendron Ledebourii in the Altai Mountains. We are pleased to share with you images of this Siberian spring holiday.
Plentiful flowering happens only once a year and symbolizes the culmination of Siberian spring. During the short blooming period you will be astonished by the beauty of pink and lilac clouds of fragile petals and carpets of spring flowers such as fawn lily, anemone, and lungwort.
The end of April and beginning of May is the most popular season for tourists in Altai. Everyone wants to celebrate the beginning of new life at must-see sites of the Altai Mountains. This year the weather spoils us with summer warmth. But in previous years one will be able to witness the unique struggle of spring and winter when sudden polar vortex bring blast of Arctic air with frost and snowfalls. And, of course, the prize for this weather collapse, are unique shots of snowcapped mountains and tender petals covered by fresh snow.
