Horse Riding Through the Siberian Forests to the Mountain Lakes (AL-05)
 |
|
This trip is for real adventure lovers who would like to experience the challenge of riding through the wild heart of Russia, miles away from civilization! We will start our tour in Moscow, the political, cultural and commercial centre of Russia, before setting off for Altai. Altai, the heart of Siberia, is one of the most spectacular treasures of nature and a perfect place to spend an active holiday this summer!
You will ride hardy, reliable Altai breed horses through unpopulated and rarely visited areas, through dense forests, alpine meadows covered in brightly coloured flowers, narrow mountain passes and dry Mongolian steppes. Our route crosses the area of lake Ak-Kem and Mt Belukha, the highest mountain in Siberia, - both on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Enjoy the wild beauty, and the romantic, peaceful atmosphere of the mysterious Altai mountains, and learn about the local culture of these genuine descendants of Genghis Khan. This route doesn’t require any advanced horse-riding skills; however you need to be in good physical shape and the frequent changes of altitude can be a challenge.
