This is Altai sightseeing tour – a country of mountains, which lies between China,
Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Altai is one of the most eco-friendly regions of the Planet. It is
included in the WWF Global 200 List – 200 eco-friendly regions of the Planet that are vitally
important for preservation of global biodiversity on Earth. The fourth part of the
mountainous country is occupied by Nature Reserves, National Parks, Natural Monuments
and other natural eco-territories, that are protected by the Government. There are no
industrial facilities or large cities that would pollute the air. And the mountain rivers are so
crystal clean, that we can drink water without boiling. The largest snow leopard population
in Russia lives in Altai, you can see wild Siberian orchids in the forests, and Altai glaciers
feed the largest rivers of the Planet – the Ob and Irtysh. During this trip, you will visit
several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, visit the shore of Lake Teletskoye, which is
considered as the younger brother of Lake Baikal. We will climb to the alpine peaks and
foothills of the glaciers, we will drive along winding roads and raft along the Katun River.
During this trip, local residents will host us and we will learn their customs, culture and
way of life.
