Ay River rafting from Mezhevoe to Lakla (3 days / 2 nights, 50 km)
Description:
Ay, means moon, Bashkir. We must admit that the Lunar River is the most beautiful river in the Southern Urals! The Ai River carries its waters among the gentle hills of the Bashkir steppes, and is not particularly expressive, but on the border with the Chelyabinsk region, the banks of the river suddenly rise up with incredible walls, called here “Pries”, whose height can reach 120 meters. Comfortable 3-day alloy on frame-inflatable kayaks Khatanga Expedition-2 and Sport-3 on the All-Inclusive system, accompanied by an experienced guide.
