Then we will take a million photos on the observation deck in the Kurai steppe.
The grandiose views of the snow-capped peaks of the North Chui range are breathtaking and it is here that you really feel freedom: from thoughts, from problems, from fuss.
Then we get to another planet, and it's impossible to believe that this is Altai too!
Desert landscapes and colorful rocks, stones underfoot and shell rock left over from the ancient Tethys Sea.
And on the “Altai Mars”, the Kyzyl-chin valley, we will have a picnic lunch in nature.

It's important to know

Shoes: comfortable waterproof sneakers or trekking boots, lightweight sneakers or sneakers, slates;
Sun protection (required!): cap, sunglasses and sunscreen with SPF 50 or more;

In many places where we go on active tours, there are no large shops and no pharmacies. Therefore, basic necessities should always be with you, sometimes there is simply nowhere to buy them. If you need some special brand of cosmetics or some rare medicines, I recommend bringing them with you. I also advise you not to take a lot of things so as not to overpay for luggage, you do not need a lot of clothes on an active trip. But it is important that you always have a spare set of clothes and shoes! To have something to change into, in the rain or even snow.
