Description

Type: Multi-day activity
* Did you know that near Irkutsk there are several rather large groups of rock remains that are not inferior in beauty to the Krasnoyarsk pillars? We will be able to see the Idol rocks, Fortress, Mirrors, Knight, Camel, Hillfort and many others on our January trip dedicated to the sixth anniversary of the Siberian Nomads tour club to the Olkhinsky plateau. The Olkhinsky plateau is more than 2.5 thousand square kilometers of mountainous taiga landscapes with headwaters and several dozen rocky outcrops of various heights. This is the foothills of the Eastern Sayan Mountains with an average altitude of 800-900 meters above sea level and a maximum altitude of 1,222.4 meters above sea level. There have been rock remains in this part of Siberia for 500 million years. It was in those distant times that the ancient rocks, under the influence of high temperatures and pressure at depth, were transformed and crumpled into folds, and then lifted above the level of the world ocean and polished by the winds. Earthquakes were not far behind in helping to form rocks. Seasonality: January 04-06, 2024 Number of participants: 9-13 people Minimum age: 16 years Difficulty: below average Accommodation: heated house for 4 people. And our club turns 6 years old! And we're going to make a camping cake!!!
