To the vanished Lake Maashe

Word of the instructor:

This route passes through the most beautiful valleys of the mountain rivers Mazhoy and Karakabak, along the mountains of the North Chui Ridge of the Altai Republic.

In essence, it is radial, that is, the start and finish of the hike takes place in one place - on the 801st kilometer of the Chui tract, near the confluence of the Shavla and Majoy rivers.

The peculiarity of the hike is the use of throws, i.e. some of the products we will leave in the casket in the middle of the route, which will greatly facilitate backpacks.

Waiting for you:

• The most beautiful track in the valley of Majoya.
• Acquaintance with the beauty of nature of the Altai Mountains.
• Walk into the picturesque valley of Karakabak lakes.
• Walk to the glacier.
• You will see the consequences of the disaster of 2012 – a valley with streams on the site of Lake Maash.
• Nizhneshavlinsky Pass from which there is a magnificent view of the Maash-Bash mountain - the highest peak of the North Chui Ridge!

After exploring the upper reaches of the Mazhoy River, we go down several kilometers, take our throw and again gain altitude, now up the Karakabak River.
