SOUTHERN ALTAI ADVENTURES (special offer)
The Altai mountains are much higher than the Urals - rivers more rash, nature more virginal. Here, in the centre of Eurasia, are 46 types of landscapes: sandy deserts and steppes, mountain taiga and tundra, crystal lakes and waterfalls, snow tops, glaciers and alpine meadow. The nature of this territory amazes with its own contrasts. Only here it is possible to reach within 2 hours from an area of sandy desert to alpine meadows, high mountainous tundra and eternal ice. A relatively small territory (in total near 100 000 sq km.) it is distinguished by the broad range of biological types (including endemic and relics). Here there are more than 3000 types of plants, 109 types mammals 370 types of birds, 22 types of amphibious and grovel, 36 fish types and more than 15000 types insects!
For several whole days You will be able to SEE all THIS – to speed in inflatable rafts through raging river rapids, ride horses on mountain tracks, visit picturesque, legendary Mt. Belukha (4506 ì.) the highest mountain in Altai and Siberia!
One of the attractions of southern Altai is that for strong political reasons it was for a long time closed for access - not only to foreign, but also for domestic tourists.
As the journeys pass through the territory of the Kazakhstan republic (East-Kazakhstan area) it will be necessary for you to get a tourist entry visa. We (office@welcome-ural.ru) will assist you in obtaining this visa.
