Active Altai. Trekking and rafting

Early rise. 

Departure from the territory of the eco-hotel Taezhnik at approximately 07:30 in the morning. 

Breakfast at the cafe on the way. 

Transfer to the village of Artybash, where the group transfers to a boat at the pier, which will take it first to the Korbu waterfall, where, in addition to the excursion, the group will have lunch, and then to the southern shore of Lake Teletskoye. 

The lake is one of the main attractions of the Altai Mountains, and in size it is second only to Lake Baikal.

This is a beautiful reservoir stretching from south to north for 75 km. 

Clouds are reflected in the clear waters of the lake, which almost always rush in the sky over the water surface. 

By the way, a unique phenomenon can be observed over the lake – oncoming clouds floating in opposite directions in the sky above the lake. 

This happens due to the winds blowing towards each other – verkhovka and nizovka.

On the way, an excursion to the Korbu waterfall, with lunch at a cafe. 

The twelve-meter Korbu waterfall was formed as a result of the natural failure of the Korbu riverbed, originating from the mountain range of the same name. 

Korbu Waterfall is not visible from the shore of the lake, but it is not long to walk to it – just a few minutes walk along the boardwalk and you can already hear the noise of water falling from a height, and almost immediately after that the waterfall itself appears before your eyes. 

Opposite the Korbu waterfall is the deepest part of Lake Teletskoye – 323 m. 

At Cape Kirsay, the group will transfer to a waiting bus and go to the campsite, where they will spend 2 nights.

For almost the entire route, the trail runs along the edge of a high cliff, at the bottom of which the wayward Chulcha River rushes furiously over the rocks.

The trail is difficult, it requires good physical fitness and sneakers with thick corrugated soles. 

Tourists will have to overcome kurumniki, endless ascents and descents, crossing small rivers on rickety bridges and walk along a rocky ledge above a ravine. 

However, the sight of Uchar is worth all these difficulties! 

A huge mass of water is flying down with speed, crashing against giant rocks. 

The noise is such that you can't hear a person standing next to you, there is water dust around.
