Altai mountains, Russia - 2019
We went to the Altai republic in Russia in July 2019. This video contains clips filmed and edited on my phone. We travelled by train and boat from Sweden to Russia and spent 8 days in Altai (also written as Altay). It is really a fantastic part of Russia for tourism with beautiful nature, interesting culture and wild nature.
The video focus on our trip through the Altai republic (Siberia), from the area around Gorno-Altaisk to Gosh-Agash. We cover Chuisky Trakt, and more western routes. We travelled by car and did some hiking with our tent.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Altai Republic is a federal subject (a republic) of Russia. It is geographically located in the West Siberia region of Asian Russia, and is part of the Siberian Federal District. The Altai Republic covers an area of 92,600 square kilometers and has a population of 206,168, the least-populous republic of Russia and federal subject in Siberia.
2. Since the annexation of the entire Altan Nuur Uriankhai into Russia in 1864-1867, the Altaians no longer enjoyed autonomy until June 1, 1922, with the creation of Oyrot Autonomous Oblast (Ойро́тская автоно́мная о́бласть), part of Altai Krai. During the Russian Civil War, the Confederated Republic of Altai was established, and declared as the first step to rebuilding Genghis Khan's Mongol Empire.
3. Gorno-Altaysk is the capital and the largest town of the Altai Republic. The history of the city dates back to the beginning of the XIX century, then on the place of modern Gorno-Altaisk there was a small Teleut settlement. In 1824, the first Russian settlers moved here from Biysk and founded the village of Ulala. Its further development was closely connected with the work of the Altai spiritual mission. In 1831, the main camp begins work in Ulal, where missionaries and clergymen gather.
4. Altay Region is a mountainous area in central Asia where Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan and China all come together. Situated between the Gobi Desert and the Siberian Plain, it is regarded as the homeland of the of the Mongolians, Turks, Koreans, Hungarians and Parzyrks. Ural-Altaic languages are named after the region. Ancient petroglyphs found in the area are believed to have been made the ancestors of the Altay.
5. The Altai Republic is situated in the Altai Mountains in the very center of Asia at the junction of the Siberian taiga, the steppes of Kazakhstan and the semi-deserts of Mongolia. The Altay region is one of the wildest and most interesting parts of southern Russia. It is a varied region with forest, steppes, wild river, lakes, deserts, snow capped mountain and abundant wildlife.
6. There are some outstanding vistas throughout the Altai region, but one of the best views comes from traversing the Katu-Yaryk pass. At 1,188m above sea level, it is one of the scariest high mountain passes in the world due to its loose gravel terrain, narrow roads and lack of barriers. If you’re brave enough to navigate the side of this cliff, you’ll be welcomed by exquisite views from the Chulyshman valley.
7. The Karakol valley is traditionally though to be a sacred place to the indigenous groups of the area and is the site various ancient burials. These burial sites, as well as the surrounding rock faces are also adorned with petroglyphs, giving the site a spiritual and cultural significance which persists in the mentality of locals today. About 5 thousand Petroglyphs can also be seen on 10km of the bank of the Chuya river, depicting images of people and animals on rock face.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Altai Krai is in a region Western Siberia. It is located to the north-west of the semi-autonomous Altai Republic. Both regions are named after the stunningly beautiful Altai mountains and are home to the Altai people, an ethnically Turkic group living in the region for over 10,000 years.
2. Russian settlement of the Upper Ob and Altai foothills began in the 2nd half of the 17th century.
3. Barnaul is a city and the administrative center of Altai Krai.
4. The Altai Mountains are on the UNESCO World Heritage list, but tourists are drawn to Altai Krai by its breathtaking beauty, regardless of any lists.
5. The valley of the Chulyshman River is known for its stunning panoramas, which can be seen from Katu-Yaryk pass. The length of the road leading to this pass is only 3.5 km (1.9 mi). Elevation changes are 800 m (2625 ft). In fact, it is the road just for one car. Drivers should be extremely careful. Only an experienced one, driving an all-wheel drive vehicle with speed reduction gear, can pass through this road. However, all dangers are justified by beautiful panoramas.
6. Altai is an extraordinary place, which is almost impossible to pass by while travelling from east to west and vice versa. The Denisova Cave, which is located there, is truly unique. Due to its specific properties, it was fit for living and has been used by different species of humans (Neanderthals and modern humans) for near 300 thousands of years. It is the very place, where a few years ago a new species of human, a Denisovan, was discovered!
7. Siberia is freezing but it’s also super hot. There is nothing new here: Siberia is freaking cold, but it can be super hot too. If you go on a winter adventure you will be exposed to negative temperatures only when you are outside, and you can fight the cold weather with some winter gear.
