BACKPACKING IN THE ALTAI MOUNTAINS-2012

Located at an equal distance away from four oceans, right in the center of the Eurasian continent, Altai Mountains lie on the crossroads of Mongolian and Turkish worlds and keep all the traces of the centuries-old history: overgrown enclosures and burial-mounds, pictures and characters on the weathered rocks, ancient stone statues, nomadic stone idols, Roerich's trails, the settlements of the “old believers” and the Siberian shamans... The Altai has escaped urbanization, remaining unchanged in the diversity of its landscape - limpid rivers, dense taiga, high-mountain meadows, sparkling glaciers, flowery fragrances of Alpine meadows, medicinal plants and grasses along the icy mountain streams; - all features of a gorgeous, majestic, and imposing land!

Nothing will give you the best understanding of the Altai wilderness than backpacking in the mountains. Be ready to the adventure activities and very basic rustic facilities - and you will definitely appreciate this trip and make friends with people all over the world in your group!
