Siberian extreme. Active recreation in Altai. (Part 1)

Most likely — what's there! — I am sure that all of you, motivated by the beach season, have put yourself in shape. Beer tummies and puffiness remained somewhere in the middle of the March slush, and the cubes on the press and filled biceps that appeared instead tremble in anticipation of a portion of provocative ladies' looks. Maybe so, but the solemn baring of the torsos will have to wait: after all, we are going to conquer the wild nature of Altai. Harsh Siberia, hot Kazakhstan and the desolate Mongolian steppes converge in it, promising many adventures that beaches along with ladies are not even a match for. 90 thousand square kilometers of freedom and extreme is what a real man needs.

I bet you didn't know that the Altai Republic annually receives more than a million extreme tourists and not only? Take out your notebooks and write: ecotourism, jeep tours, hiking, horseback riding, water, hunting, fishing expeditions, speleological descents and even ethnogeographic surveys — all this is here. There are also dangers: the last earthquake recorded on the mainland of the Russian Federation occurred in Altai — 8 points in 2003 went through 6 districts of the republic: nature is harsh here and does not like to mess around. This is a land of mountains, harsh winters and fleeting baking summers. In general, you will like it... Finally, one more curious fact: Altai is the homeland of all Turkic peoples. So if you plan to relax somewhere in the Turkish Side in the future, send greetings from your historical homeland to the elders there.

The Chui Tract (federal highway M52) is not only the largest transport artery leading all the way to Mongolia, but also the alpha and omega of the tourism industry of the Altai Territory. Large and small towns and villages are strung on it, like on a fishing line, from here you can get to any area you are interested in by your own car. Everything here revolves around the Chui tract, including the prosperity of the largest tourist conglomerate near Lake Teletskoye. There are more than three dozen various camp sites and boarding houses around the reservoir, and there is no need to talk about campsites and private hotels. It is impossible to describe everything, according to experience, the service at Eden is good (do not look that the boarding house is accommodation for every taste: from family houses to rooms in buildings) and at the Tilantu recreation center — a summer house in the first will cost 500 rubles / day, VIP rooms with a fireplace and other delights - 4 thousand rubles. Tilantu is designed for a smaller number of guests, more cozy, there are several two-storey cottages on the territory, there is a private sauna. The cost of such a house (for 7 people) is 3500-4000 rubles. per day, which is not much if you are traveling with a company. "Savages" can rent accommodation from locals: it may not be so convenient and close to attractions, but it is cheap — from 150 rubles per night.
