Holidays in the Altai Mountains. Why not? This summer I spent my holidays in the Altai Mountains. Before I did not know anything about him. Personally, I am from Samara. Had long time looking for something on the Altai Mountains, about where to rest. On the whole, based on characterization of tourist sites, Altai Mountains is a super-duper wonderful place in Europe and Asia! "Altai ... Snow-white peaks and wooded cliffs, streams, melodious ringing on the stones and turbulent flows river raging among the blackened boulders, steppes, which stretch to the blue-black mountains and the bright colors tundra, diluted blue mountain lakes: - that describes the Altai is one of the agencies conducting the rest in Altai Mountains. But how much, nor read and not "slobber" at the beautiful texts of the Altai Mountains, while personally do not look, not know so if it really is. Went on a journey I'm on a plateau Ukok. Very much inspired me stories about this mountain complex. Say this: "According to many legends, this place is the passage to that fabled land Shambhala - a country touch to the Tyne, the knowledge of truth and enlightenment ": - I read about this website the same agency. Of course, I did not base their choice only on information from one resource, just my journey, I decided to trust this company. I was pleased with their work. When I arrived with the other tourists on the Plateau Ukok, I realized that I was not deceived enticing words and phony photos of. It really need to see! Plateau Ukok - this is not a predictable place. The climate in this fickle place: may the sun shine brightly, few minutes later delayed horizon clouds, knocking dozhdina. Consequently, when the lights desire to travel to Plateau Ukok, expect anything. In this area a lot of interesting and special places. And how many secrets, legends are relatively this reserved space ... Our company was appointed as a very sensible guide, he just told us a lot about this place. Name of the Plateau Ukok with one of the languages, but I forgot what it sounds like "Listen heavens!". As proved to be a place corresponds to its name. The mountains are so large that it seems that they relate to the white clouds, and they, in turn, somehow in some places forming step. According to the instructor, it happens often. Seeing this picture, it begins to seem that just about anyone walked from the clouds. Many beautiful places spared Ukok Plateau. In my journey I had a chance to look at Bertekskuyu Pisanitsa. Located on the cliff of Kyzyl-Tas. It shows about 120 characters. As I understand it, the nation, who lived here before, dorisovyvala it during its existence. Oldest image ranked in the 1st floor. II millennium BC. At Pisanitsa can see people and animals, hunters and deer and many other things. And she Pisanitsa surrounded by rocks and it gives it a unique appearance. Visiting mountainside Molybdenum can see a few galleries. But most of them closed. Survived only one. Interested persons can go into the depths of 30 meters, though the picture looks forward eerie, but fascinating. Co walls flowing water, ice cubes and broken building - a delightful place to have experienced atmosphere in which the local miners were working. Suffice saturated emotions I have received from radon sources. Temperature of water in them attain to the level of approximately 20 degrees Celsius, and throughout the year almost unchanged. These baths are known for their wellness effect. This medical treatment come Altais and Kazakhs. Altai, in general, quite intriguing nation. After talking with them, to even greater respect for their customs and traditions. Went home, sitting in the bus, I summed up his vacation in the mountainous Altai. I caught myself thinking that I myself want to talk about the Altai Mountains as unprecedentedly exciting place on earth. And what I read in the network, proved to be true. I express my gratitude to all the staff and guides primarily a tour operator Robinson, who organized my vacation in the Altai Mountains.
