Altai Mountains, a two-week campaign

Will 73 6 photos and a quick video.

In his new job forced to share a vacation in half, and because 22 days of vacation is too little, came to mind, the idea that I wanted to carry out long ago. Namely hiking, what may be most important mountainous and underpopulated areas. What came of it read further.

Attempts to find a suitable time for the group without success, I decided to go alone! Experience hiking was not, but I know what a forest, live in the taiga edge. In general, acquiring the necessary equipment and test it in the field, I went to the starting point of the route. The benefit here is not very far away. Nafigator said, a little less than 3000 km ...





01

3 days' journey, and I'm on the spot. Giving up the car at the camp site, the existence of which I knew. I recheck whether all picked up their call that all is well and translate the phone offline. The next call will be oh as not soon.

Junk came a lot, even though I did not take too much. Sorry I did not buy a backpack is more, as a result of all the things it does not fit and styling was not very correct, especially in the early days.

In the penultimate day of travel I meet another group of tourists. The guys immediately became interested in the route, it turned out, they were from the Ukraine and they were not allowed in the border area, so we decided to go on the lake. I give them a guide, map, a satellite map and a duplicate. I already worthlessness, and they like the air.
