* Imagine a place where every step opens up a new facet of magic: here blue catchments side by side with bright orange lights, and delicate pansies of all shades of the rainbow create a fancy carpet under your feet. The snow-white peaks of the mountains are reflected in the turquoise waters of the sacred Katun River, and the mysterious red rocks of Kyzyl Chin remind of the Martian landscapes.
We invite you to an unforgettable journey through the Altai Mountains during the flowering period of the Alpine meadows – a time when nature reveals its soul in all its glory. This tour is designed for those who are ready to immerse themselves in the pristine beauty of the mountains, where every day brings new discoveries: from the majestic glaciers of the North Chuisky Range to the mysterious Ulagan lakes, from the legendary Chuisky tract to the cosmic landscapes of Altai Mars.
There are more than 15 exciting excursions waiting for you, where you can not only enjoy stunning views, but also touch ancient cultural monuments, meet hospitable locals and, of course, take photos that will adorn any travel magazine.
This is not just a tour, it is a trip to the heart of Altai, where every moment is filled with new impressions, and every sunset becomes a special event. Join us to see how the mountains change their outfits with each new day, how the alpine meadows bloom, creating unique patterns on the slopes, and how nature reveals all its secrets to you.

Legends of the Chui tract
Type of accommodation:Motel
Meeting of the group in Gorno-Altaysk, acquaintance with the guide.
Today you will have an exciting tour "The Legendary Chuisky tract" along the main highway of Gorny Altai. Magnificent panoramas open directly from the highway. It is rich in sights, legends and has a rich ancient history, which our guides will tell you about. During the tour, we will climb the Seminsky high mountain pass, where we will see century-old cedars, majestic mountains with small snowfields on their peaks, and learn the history of the Altai people's entry into Russia.
Continuing the tour along the Chuisky tract, we will climb the serpentine to the Chike-Taman pass with two observation platforms and a view of the eastern slopes of the Terektinsky ridge. We will find out where the old wheeled Chuisky highway passed in the past centuries.
Then we will continue along the picturesque Katun Valley and the Katun Loop, a beautiful bend of the Katun River among the rocks of Maly Yaloman. We will see and find out how and when the ancient "Katun terraces" were formed.
Let's take a walk to the sacred place for Altaians – the mouth of the Chuya River — the meeting place of two large rivers of the Altai Mountains, which, merging, flow for some time with a pronounced color border.
Impressions of the day: Seminsky pass; Chike-Taman pass; "Yalomanskaya Arc"; the place of power is the confluence of the Chuya and Katuni rivers; "Katun terraces"; old Chuisky tract; monument to Kolka Snegirev.

day 02
Space adventures
Type of accommodation:Motel
Breakfast and back on the road. Today we are waiting for the most remote region of the Altai Republic with exotic landscapes similar to the neighboring territories of Mongolia.
We will stop in the Kurai steppe and enjoy the views of the glaciers of the North Chuya Range, the largest in Central Asia.
Next, we will switch to off-road transport and plunge into the atmosphere of space travel in the valley of the Kyzyl Chin River. In the Turkic language, this name sounds like "Red Gorge", and among tourists the valley is known as "Altai Mars". Indeed, the landscapes of the tract give the impression that you are on another planet.
After lunch, we will admire the beauty of the Blue Lake on the Mena River. Underground springs erode silt and blue-white clay at the bottom and create bizarre and unique patterns. What kind of drawings will we see today?
Return to the campsite, free time.

The Edge of a Thousand Lakes

Today we will embark on an unforgettable journey to one of the most picturesque places in the Altai Republic – the Katu-Yaryk pass. This is a unique opportunity to get to know the majestic nature of Altai, learn more about its history and culture, and enjoy the breathtaking views.
We will make several stops along the way to admire the beautiful scenery and take photos.
The first stop is the Red Gate, an artificially cut narrow passage in the rock. This place is a symbol of the Ulagan district and attracts attention with its beauty.
Then we will go to the high-altitude lakes of the Ulagan plateau. Here we can see a mysterious Dead Lake, a completely turquoise lake, an elongated Uzun-Kel and Lake Kidelu-Kel, which is visible from the highest paved mountain pass.
The next stop will be the Pazyryk mounds– an ancient necropolis of the Scythians. You will find out who was buried in these mounds and which of the artifacts found here are on display in the Hermitage.
The main impression of the day: two viewing platforms overlooking the Katu-Yaryk pass. First, let's stop at one of the observation decks, where you can test yourself by standing over a precipice. From here, you can see the Kaya Bazhi waterfall running underground, and the entire Chulyshman Valley in full view.
After that, we will go to another observation deck, where you will be impressed from a height by the winding descent from the Katu-Yaryk pass.
