One of the symbols of Altai is maral, a kind of deer with horns that give many processes. It is in Altai that the main part of maral farming is concentrated. These animals are amazingly beautiful, but they are bred not because of their appearance, but because they are a source of valuable raw materials - antlers, young horns, which are widely used for health purposes. About marals and the process of harvesting horns tourists will tell the staff of the farm Karym (for technical reasons, it is possible to replace maral).
Honey is another visiting card of the Altai mountains. It is the sweet floral nectar obtained from pollen of alpine herbs that is especially appreciated by lovers of this delicacy. Honey has long been attributed to the sea of healing properties. Surprisingly, honey can be stored for hundreds of years without spoiling - this is confirmed by finds made in ancient settlements. How many miles does a bee fly a day? How much honey can be obtained from one hive and how to distinguish a real product from a fake? These and many questions tourists will be able to ask the owners of the Altai apiary.
