Description:
Travel program: it is advisable to arrive in Belokurikha the night before to get equipment (the night is guaranteed!)
1 day. Departure from Belokurikha at 8.00 hours after breakfast. A stop on the Bia River. The village of Artybash. Lake Teletskoye. A boat ride to the south shore, with a stop for lunch at Corbu Falls. Camp by the lake. Dinner.
2 days. Breakfast. Camp assembly. We head to the mouth of the Chulchi River. Crossing to the right bank of the Chulyshman River to the Ak-Kurum tract, climbing Stone Mushrooms is an amazing form of weathering rock and a very rare phenomenon in nature. Come back. We camp and rest.
3 days. Early rise. Breakfast. Exit to Uchar Falls. 10km one way. We take dry rations with us and go. Again crossing to the right bank of Chulyshman and a narrow path upstream, along the Chulcha River, gradually rising up the mountain, we go to the goal. Rare crossings through mountain rivers and streams, waterfalls hanging with a thin thread along the way fascinate the eye. And after five kilometers, a magnificent view of our Uchar waterfall opens - the goal becomes visible, but has not yet been achieved. You can only see the upper part of the waterfall, but the closer we are, the louder it sings to us the song of water and stone, crushing its waters on huge blocks of stone and reaching the ground. By noon, the most beautiful view for the photo shoot opens, and by the evening we will be back to the camp. A little tired, but there will always be memories of this day. Fire. Dinner. Sleep. Deep sleep...
4 days. We woke up, had breakfast, gathered the camp and went to the Katu-Yaryk Pass. There is a desire - go on an excursion to the waterfall Kurkure - 4 km (one way) - and you are at one of the most beautiful waterfalls of Altai - Kurkure - falling from a height of more than 35 m and forming a picturesque lake with creaking clear water. The photo shoot can last until the evening not only at the waterfall, but also on the top of the mountain, where you can climb. And for lovers of fishing - you can stay in the camp or just in the evening to get gear - and get the opportunity to become a miner of delicious fish - garius. It's campfire night. Dinner. Bath.
5 days. Breakfast. Camp assembly. And again in the unknown we gave: before us the predominance of Katu-Yaryk – the road for the bravest – and we go on foot (as the bravest!), climbing from the valley of the Chulyshman River along the serpentine, contemplating all the splendor of this world. On the Chulyshman Highlands, we will make a stop to get acquainted with ancient burials - the Tsar's burial mounds - the era of the Scythian-Pazyryk culture. And on the Ulagan Pass in the cedar forests near the picturesque lake we will stop for the night.
