Altai is real and the flowering of the maralnik

Just imagine this magnificent magical feeling: waking up in a warm wooden house, going out on the veranda at dawn, surrounded by huge mountains! These views are dizzying, excite consciousness and change reality. 

You will drive along one of the most beautiful roads in the country – the Chuisky Highway, stopping in the most picturesque places, admire the incredible beauty of the turquoise Geyser Lake, cool off at the beautiful Kurkure waterfall, and take incredible bird's-eye views of the Chulyshman Valley.
