Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Check-in. Gastronomic dinner

    Since all participants come from different regions of Russia, by different transport and at different times, therefore the first excursion is in the evening. 

    Upon arrival at the Belokurikha resort, we stay at the selected hotel (check-out time is 14:00, if the room is free, then they will check in on arrival), rest. 

    Departure for the tour at 16:00.

    We meet at the bus and move to a nearby village, about 40 minutes on the way. 

    An excursion to a unique place, to the three times Altai land.

    The cozy cafe has already set tables for you with unique dishes made from local products. 

    The warm welcome of the hosts and the holding of the gastronomy in an interesting dialogue will only please you. 

    Only here you can try nettle dumplings with baked potatoes — kundubki, salads with burdock sauce, broths and liqueurs, an unusual delicious soup.

    While enjoying delicious dishes, the owners of this place will share with you fascinating stories about local traditions and culinary secrets, as well as tell you how they carefully preserve the nature and culture of their land. 

    This is not just a gastro—dinner - this is a real meeting with the heart of Altai, immersion in culture, saturated with taste discoveries and the warmth of human communication.

    Duration of the tour: 4 hours. Included in the program: gastrozhin.
