From 58 000₽ per person
Description
Type: Multi-day activity
* Hi! An amazing author's journey awaits us!
The main idea is to travel with maximum comfort away from the well-traveled trails and roads that other tourists use. To do this, you need to be able to walk a lot, which means to eat well and relax
Recovery in active tours is very important! This increases the cost of the tour, but we will see much more than tourists see from Gaz-66. And there is something to see!
Maral is found in the nearby forests, migrating to subalpine and alpine meadows in the summer, bears and sables are often found.
The Multa Lakes are a cascade of picturesque lakes located on the northern slope of the Katunsky Ridge in the upper reaches of the Multa River, the right tributary of the Katun. The Lower, Middle and Upper Multin Lakes are considered the most beloved by tourists. There are more than 10 lakes in the Multa basin, some of which are included in the Katun State Reserve.
Organized groups are met at airports. The most convenient and fastest way to get to Gorno-Altaysk is by plane. The travel time from Moscow is about 4.5 hours. Next, one of the most beautiful roads in Russia awaits us! The federal highway R256 "Chuisky Tract" is the heiress of the ancient trade route that connected Siberia and Asia. Once upon a time, a pack trail wound over the rocky gorges, so narrow that oncoming caravans could not leave on it. Today it has been replaced by an asphalt highway, but the views from it have hardly changed: There are few settlements on the Chui Tract, and you spend most of the way one-on-one with wildlife. Real adventures and discoveries are waiting for us!
• Lots of movement, air, light, color and sun in the stunning locations of the Altai Mountains.
• New knowledge, walking skills from a sports tourism instructor with training. Health promotion, healthy habits, and camping skills will stay with you for a long time.
• The author's program on trails unbroken by tourists.

day 02
Trekking to Lake Kuyguk via the Multin Lakes
Type of accommodation:Tent
Wake up, breakfast. Today we are going to the location of the lakes. For the first 8 km. on an uninteresting road, many tourists prefer to drive a passable car.
From the village of Maralnik, our walking journey begins towards the Multa Lakes along the valley of the Multa River with a smooth climb. Lunch on the shore of the Lower Multin Lake.
The cascade of three Multin lakes is located in the western part of the Katun ridge, in the Ust-Koksinsky district of the Altai Mountains. This lake system is connected by the Multa River, which flows from the Upper Multin Lake and connects the Middle and Lower Multin Lakes. The origin of the lakes is moraine-subsurface. Ancient glaciers dug a fairly deep basin of the Upper Multy Lake, the valley of the Multy River. During their progress, the glaciers dragged with them boulders, a moraine, which, after their stop and retreat, became a dam for the Multa River. This is how the Multin Lakes were formed.
The lower Multinskoye Lake is the largest of the Multinskoye lake system and is quite suitable for swimming: the water on its surface warms up to +15°C in summer. There are a lot of mushrooms, blueberries, lingonberries, honeysuckle, cedar cones with nuts in the forest. After taking a photo on the shores of the Multin lakes, we go further past the lake and Kuyguk waterfall and pass to the parking lots. Kuyguk is two picturesque lakes.
From the large upper lake, water flows into a tiny lower lake, forming a beautiful 30-meter waterfall. Here we will spend the night in tents.
