ABOUT THE ROUTE
Эта поездка — одна из самых контрастных и загадочных! Маршрут будет интересен тем, кто интересуется пейзажной фотографией, историей, географией и просто любит приключения. Все это ждет вас в южной части Алтая …..там, где сходятся границы России, Монголии, Казахстана и Китая. Плато Укок является священным местом силы для монгольских и китайских буддистов с древних времен. Здесь есть естественная граница, проходящая через самые высокие точки рельефа, это великий Азиатский водораздел между обширными безводными районами Средней Азии и бассейном Северного Ледовитого океана … панорама Северо-Чуйского хребта и увлекательный сплав по культовой реке Алтай — Катунь. Формат организации и команды гидов, работающих на маршруте, традиционно для клуба «Алтай-гид» на самом высоком уровне.

Participant's travel report
| Erika u. Peter Jost
Ich öffne den Reißverschluss meines Zeltes u. schlage die taufeuchte Plane zurück. Mein Blick fällt auf die kleinen Zelte meiner Mitreisenden u. auf das große Küchenzelt, in dem es schon verheißungsvoll klappert. Man schält sich aus den warmen Schlafsäcken- es hatte Minusgrade in der Nacht — u. begibt sich zur Katzenwäsche an den Fluss mit milchigweißem eiskalten Gletscherwasser.
