WILD ALTAI
TREKKING
|
| After
night eating the goat (and do remember, the climbing is in front of the
nose!), some morning training is absolutely mandatory... |
|
| Because
of some bad part does exist on the trail (precipice), it is worth to devide
our caravan and give the reins in reliable hands of the team members... |
|
| The
glance back- Argut, the rocky barrier and misterious cemetery in behind... |
|
| And
from the very top of the hill in the same direction... |
|
| On
our path up the Argut gorge, we meet the Yedigem river- stormy left tributary
of Argut. Rafting the couple Yedigem+Argut is highest-grade (6 CC rapids)
adventure! |
|
| The
Argut trail is decorated with ox-eye daisy bouquets... |
|
| ...which
is nice harmonizing with white-blue river water... |
|
| After
some doubts, refering to the map in situation room, looking for bright guys
who run up somewhere to Kulagash river, I decide we finally reach the helipad-
honestly, we need some flat ground for final picnic (cooking the shashlik
and so...) and respectively, need some fast delivery of cool beer (yyyeeesss!)... |
|
| The
chopper crew thinks so- they found us exclusively by nice smell... ;) |
|
| The
meat is eaten, the beer is drunk - so, no way to do except ride the helicopter
and look how the Argut gorge looks like from the heaven... |
