Tag 3 - Car-walking tour to the Kyzyl-Chin valley (valley of Mars). Geyser Lake
Breakfast in the cafe of the tourist complex “The nomad.”
Car and walking tour to the valley of Mars (Kyzyl-Chin).
Once upon a time, there was a warm Tethys Sea on the site of the Kyzyl-Chin Valley, followed by glaciers and a cold lake. 4-6 thousand years ago, people already lived here.
Now geologists, archaeologists, and ethnographers conduct annual research here.
They also jokingly call Kyzyl-Chin Mars — for the earth, painted in all possible shades of red and orange, for the blue-green-purple mountains.
What is more striking here is the landscapes or the history of planet Earth captured in them, everyone decides for themselves.

Lunch at a cafe.

On the way back, an excursion to Geyser Lake.
Geyser Lake (also called Blue Lake, Silver Lake).
The depth of the lake is about two meters, the diameter is 25-30 meters.
A large stream flows into the lake.
Geyser Lake is unique in its kind — rare in beauty, clean, frost-free even in winter and at the same time easily accessible to visitors of Gorny Altai.
On the lake's mirror, travelers will certainly notice streaks of rich turquoise, rounded or oval in shape, changing their appearance, which seem to reflect the processes taking place at the bottom of the lake, where “geysers” come to life from time to time in mysterious depths, sending a mixture of bluish clay and sand to the surface, forming visible circles at the bottom of the lake.
You may be the lucky one who will be present at the “eruption" and capture what is happening on the camera.

Return to the Nomad tourist complex
Dinner at the cafe of the tourist complex “The nomad.”

Lunch at the cafe in Ulagan village.

After lunch, the group continues to the Chulyshman valley.
One of the attractions that await tourists on their way to the valley is the Pazyryk mounds.
The Pazyryk mounds are a chain of 5 burial mounds representing the graves of noble nomads and tribal leaders dating back to the 6th–7th centuries BC.
Next, travelers will have an equally exciting encounter with the Katu-Yaryk pass.
The height to which the road rises is about 1,500 m.
The pass offers an impressive view of the valley of the Chulyshman River.
From the observation deck above the valley, you can take unforgettable photos.
For a snack – a breathtaking descent from the pass along the serpentine road to the valley of the Chulyshman River.

Attention!!! For safety reasons, the descent from the pass is carried out on foot, which makes it possible to enjoy a bird's-eye view of the valley.

The valley has a special microclimate – it is almost always warm and the sun is shining here. True, the wind is blowing quite strongly, but after the harsh breathing of glaciers, the shore of the mountain beauty of the Chulyshman River will seem like a paradise.

Hiking up to the natural wonder of Altai – “stone mushrooms".

Stone mushrooms are stone pillars of a special shape – with a stem and a cap, similar to mushrooms.
The “leg" is made of softer limestone rocks that have been destroyed over the centuries by water and wind, resulting in mushroom-like shapes.
By the way, you can count the places in the world where such “mushrooms" grow on your fingers.

Water-powered tour of Lake Teletskoye by boat to Artybash village (2-3 hours).
Tourists will have an unforgettable experience of this day!
Teletskoye Lake is one of the main attractions of Gorny Altai.
It is a beautiful body of water, stretching from south to north for 75 km.
Clouds are reflected in the clear waters of the lake, which are almost always rushing in the sky above the water surface.
By the way, a unique phenomenon is the 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 across the lake there is an excursion to the Korbu waterfall.
The twelve-meter-high 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 sound 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.

Continuation of the transfer to the village of Artybash by boat.
Then by car to the tourist complex on Lake Teletskoye.

Über den Reiseveranstalter

18. März 2025

The tour was excellently organized, every detail was carefully thought out, and every minute well-planned. Participants were surrounded by care and didn’t have to worry about a thing, just relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. The food and accommodation were top-notch. I especially want to highlight our guide, Sergey. His genuine love for Altai and deep respect for its nature are truly inspiring, and his warm, thoughtful attitude toward people makes the journey even more special. Traveling with him felt effortless and engaging, there was never a need to worry about anything because he took care of everything. My only piece of advice for future travelers: arrive a day early. That way, you can fully immerse yourself in the experience right from the start. I will wholeheartedly recommend your company to others.
