ALTAI EXPEDITIONS

Andrey Yurchenkov, the agency's director and accompanist for all shipments, is Anglophone. He knows the region on his fingertips, is inexhaustible about local history and environment, and can organize cross-border trips to Russia, China and Mongolia. It can also offer à la carte, adventure, fishing, hiking… and discover impressive sights, such as the Sibiny observatory.

The support of this agency will be very valuable to those contemplating the discovery of the Altai Mountains. Most of the interesting sites, such as Makakol Lakes or the Sibiny observatory, are in border areas where travel is subject to a special permit, which Andrey will be able to establish within 40 to 45 days. It is sometimes possible to get it faster, but you will be well advised to take as much advance as possible in this process. The organization is long and high rates, but it is the price to pay for a trek or a horse ride in the mountains.
