Day 6 - Martian Mountains
This day will be a real highlight of your journey!
We will go to the amazing colored mountains known as "Mars". After breakfast, we will have an exciting journey along the magnificent Chuisky highway, where we will admire the squirrels of the North Chuisky range. This sight is truly mesmerizing!

Each layer of these mountains was formed over millions of years, acquiring characteristic shades depending on time. Scientists claim that the red-brown layers formed more than 300 million years ago, when a warm salty sea once stretched here!
After glaciation, fresh lakes appeared in this place, and the soil in the valley near the Kyzyl-Chin gorge consists of clay from an ancient lake. It is to this era that the green shades belong, because the rocks consist of clay with an admixture of sandstone and limestone.
Your guide will share with you interesting facts and legends that make this place even more attractive.
