FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions about the Altai Mountains

The best time to travel to the Altai Mountains is May, June or September. July and August are more expensive due to high season. In winter, it's extreme, but interesting.

The best coverage in the Altai Mountains is MTS. Beeline is slightly worse. Megafon, only in large settlements, and even then, not everywhere. Everything else is just from the evil one.

A short route in the Altai Mountains does not mean fast and safe. You shouldn't trust navigation apps. For example, to get to Tyungur, take the Seminsky Pass and Tuekta. You can go through Soloneshnoe, Altayskoye or Cherga, but you shouldn't. And there is no road through Inya at all.

You can't see a shaman for money. And in general, you won't see one.

Mountain honey is a marketing gimmick. The best honey in Altai comes from the foothill meadows.

The most problematic weather in the Altai Mountains is the Katunsky Range and the north of Lake Teletskoye.

The most beautiful views from off-road wheels are Achik and Karagem Pass. The highest point in the Altai Mountains that can be reached by off-road car is Kalgutinsky Pass (3091 m). And yes, Belukha is not visible from Tyungur.

It is completely safe to stay in your tents outside of populated areas.

As the saying goes, asking questions costs nothing. Be interested, ask questions when planning your trips to the Altai Mountains. Within the framework of this site, and any other, it is impossible to share all the available information. I do not claim to have the ultimate truth, but I can certainly help you with something.

About

In a tourist trip, it is not only the composition of the group that is important, but also the presence of a reliable coordinator-consultant in the region of the route. It is this specialist who will provide logistics on the route, meet you at the airport or train station, share important information at the time of transfer, conduct a briefing before the start and will be the first to wait for you after the successful completion of the trip.

My interests are not limited to tourism. I am fascinated by many things, including the history, geology and theology of my native Altai.

Are you interested in the mysteries of Mountain Altai? Local spirits and shamans? Places of power in Mountain Altai? Dreams in the mountains and things that fly in the night sky? We will be happy to discuss all this, whether from the point of view of local folklore or the latest discoveries in astrophysics, cosmology and quantum processes.

From the comments under my videos

Heartfelt Gratitude! With such care for travelers, with Love for the Sacred Land of Altai! Thank you for all the historical facts that connect times and people living there! Thank you!

Thank you for the trip! Just returned, and I have no peace anymore. I want to live in a quiet, sun-drenched valley of Chulyshman opposite the mushrooms. Walk among cows and horses, sit on the bank of a beautiful river, look at the mountains.

I watched your film, the feelings and emotions are like after watching the good old "Club of Cinema Travel". Everything is great. You did a great job in creating this film. Your love for your native land is visible, and the desire for other people to see this beauty.

Like all your films, very interesting, informative and beautifully, professionally filmed! And most importantly, a rare combination of beauty and music that you select! It's really rare... Only people with good taste and a sensitive soul can create such films. Your friends and family are lucky!

The best film for those who like to travel by car. All the nuances, everything is clearly on the route without unnecessary words and pathos. In the films of other authors, there is not a word about the route, so sketches at best, basically they film themselves and brag about the equipment. Many are interested in routes and detailed information for planning. The author of the film raised exactly the topic that is needed. From one film I learned more information than from many films watched recently.

We arrived only from Altai. I will say this, I live near Baikal and have been to different places, but when we arrived at Katun and went towards Geyser Lake in Aktash, I was stunned by the Chuysky tract, by the beautiful views and the smooth road. At the same time dangerous with its avalanches and landslides. So I couldn't resist shouting: Altai, I love you! And it was sincere.

Thank you for the great review. There are videos that change you, like good books. This series of films, like a guide, makes you think. They teach you to take care of what you have, to study Altai, to come to it.

The second video of yours that I'm watching. Excellent presentation and what really sets you apart for me is the audio accompaniment with historical and physical calculations. You need to do a lot of work to collect information. I've also always been interested in where the names come from.
