When I was going on a horse riding tour for the first time, I doubted myself. I chose this tour because it is short - three nights at the bases, four in tents in the forest. The journey to the first base takes about 5 hours (we were met at the airport). There is immediately nature, air, tranquility. I must say that only 2 of us came, but the tour still took place! We were accompanied by an instructor and a horseman, Altaians, experienced people. The first crossing was difficult because it was raining. You shouldn’t trust any weather forecasts in Altai; the weather changes quickly. There are two parking lots during the tour, both are well equipped and have been in use for a long time. Words cannot describe the beauty of these places. Air, mountain rivers, horses grazing around, not a soul, just no one at all! Radial riding on horses on other days is not difficult. The tour is not overloaded with events, you can sleep and relax. They fed us very well: a variety of dishes, fruits, sweets, whatever you wanted! They heated water to wash themselves from bottles. In general, this is not a difficult tour at all for a city person accustomed to comfort. But far enough from civilization to say: “Yes, I was in the Altai Mountains and saw all its beauty.”
