Description:
Mountainous Altai is a unique mountainous country, as nature has taken care of the diversity of landscapes and territories with its special microclimate. The dense cedar taiga grows here, the riot of flowers in spring and summer amazes, the tundra, steppe and semi-desert landscapes fit in a relatively small area, and at the same time at the same time of the year! From spring to winter, it can be close!
All this creates a variety of flora and fauna, according to official data, there are about 200 species of endemic plants (found only in a limited area) and several rare species of animals, such as snow leopard and Altai mountain sheep argali.
