ABOUT THE ROUTE

Belukha is the sacred and the highest peak of Altai. The beauty of its top has not left anyone indifferent. The foot of the mountain — the area of Lake Akkem — is often called the Russian Shambhala — a mysterious country called Belovodie. Namely Belukha and adjacent areas were sung in his work by Nicholas Roerich. To look at this sacral peak, hidden from human eyes far beyond the spurs of the Katunsky Range, it is necessary to perform a complex trekking on Belukha, having crossed many kilometers along mountain trails. Trekking at a height of 1500 to 3000 meters, moderate loads and an excellent company will make your vacation unforgettable, and seen with your own eyes can not be compared with the photos or videos you saw before. We hope that the trekking with the team of the «Altai-guide» travel club will become one of the most joyful and bright events of your life!
