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.
Mileage ~340 km.
