A small and cozy hotel, which is located in the valley of the Samysh River on the left bank of Teletskoye Lake. The hotel is completely fenced from the outside world - you can only get here by boat, helicopter or mountain road through the pass. Being here, you feel, on the one hand, a wild virgin nature, on the other hand - luxury and comfort of the environment. Cozy chalets of the solid Siberian Pine tree are organically integrated into the landscape of the surrounding nature. There are chalets with one, two and three bedrooms. They are ideal both for couples seeking solitude and peace, as well as for large families with children or friendly companies. You can visit the sports complex, SPA and wellness center, Russian bathhouse or just walk in the mountains and sit by the lake, enjoying the sounds of nature on your spare time. In the SPA complex you are offered velvet antlers baths. This is a unique procedure originated in ancient China. It is known that velvet antlers – not ossified antlers of Siberian deer, contain a huge number of trace elements that extend youthfulness and improve health. Especially they are useful for men. Also be sure to try toning beauty treatments with fresh Siberian berries. The hotel's restaurant offers you delicious dishes made of organic, local product. Concierge service is available 24 hours a day.

On arrival at the Gorno-Altaisk airport, we meet you according to the Altai traditions. Kaichi - the master of throat singing - perform the Altai greeting, girls in national costumes offer you baursaks (fried bread balls) and chegen (fermented milk drink). Afterwards you will be transferred to the hotel. You can choose to move by a comfortable car (about 3.5 hours) or by helicopter (less than 1 hour).

On arrival at the hotel – check-in, lunch and rest.

This day is necessary for us to acclimatize, so time for the rest is best spent in the hotel, walking along the shore of Teletskoye Lake, visiting gym, basin or SPA complex.

Today we take a boat trip on the lake. It should be noted that 78 rivers flow into the lake, many of which end in waterfalls. During the tour we moor in small coves and admire the waterfalls. The most courageous travelers can even swim in them. Then we stop at the mouth of one of the rivers and organize fishing. Together with an experienced fisherman we catch a grayling - a small fish from the salmon family. You will enjoy the freshly caught fish soup cooked on bonfire. Afterwards you will return to the hotel.

Having crossed the whole lake, we get into a unique natural canyon - the valley of the Chulyshman River. This is the largest tributary of the lake. In the canyon for almost 100 km there are no paved roads, and there are only two small villages. The Chulyshman Canyon is decorated by numerous waterfalls up to 160 meters high. There are many monuments of antiquity left by former civilizations. It is believed that the Turkic civilization is originated in the Chulyshman Canyon - the most ancient turkic burial ground Kudyrge was discovered here. Exhibits from it are stored in the State Hermitage in St. Petersburg. In the canyon you can take off-road ride by a jeep or a motorcycle. Picnic on the bank of the Chulyshman River.

Return to the lake, transfer by boat to the hotel.

Today we visit the only village in Russia, which is located on the territory of the reserve - the village Yailyu in the Altai State Natural Biosphere Reserve. Here you meet the old-timer of the reserve - Evgeniy Veselovsky. Many times he went to the mountains and taiga and knows the surroundings well. We walk along the shore of the lake, try water from a silver spring. We see the coast of fairytale snags, giant anthills, spider-trees. All these amazing objects of nature were formed by the waves, the wind and the sun. We also visit the only place from where the northern and southern parts of the lake are visible.

Then we go up to the orchard. Yailyu is the warmest place in Altai, therefore, apple, pear and almond trees are grown here. The gardens were planted over half a century ago. To bring here the first fruit trees, a resident of Yailyu walked across all of Russia (about 4,000 km in one direction) to the Moscow for the saplings.

At the end of the walk, we go up to the country estate of Evgeniy Veselovsky, where you will be offered lunch.

In the evening - return to the hotel.

The day is devoted to a trip by quad bikes or horses in the mountains. We enjoy traveling along mountainous taiga roads, climb the pass overlooking Teletskoye Lake, overcome small barriers in the form of fords through streams.

Return to the hotel.

In the evening we have a dinner in the national Altai dwelling - ail. After dinner, you get acquainted with the national culture - you hear a concert of throat singing. This unique performance technique of the peoples of Central Asia is included on the Intangible Cultural Heritage List of UNESCO. An experienced master - kaichi - makes deep, guttural sounds accompanied by a stringed musical instrument - topshur. He can sing continuously for several days, gradually put into a trance. For this, many kaichi are considered as shamans - people with special spiritual abilities.

Today you take a helicopter flight to the highest mountain of Siberia and Altai - Belukha (4506 m). It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Belukha is the most important and sacred mountain for the inhabitants of Altai. It is honored equally in Russia, Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia (Altai is located in four countries). The mountain is a huge massif with glaciers, snowy peaks, stone gorges and subalpine meadows. On the slopes of Belukha from the Katunskiy Glacier begins the largest Altai river - Katun. There are a huge number of glaciers. According to the legend, on the peak of Belukha there lived the spirit of Altai - Altai-Eezi. According to the teachings of N.K. Roerich from here will begin the spiritual rebirth of humanity.

Many valleys around Belukha are considered sacred. One of them is the Yarlu valley, where the maze of stone pyramids is built. In the center of valley there is the Roerich stone - an energetically powerful place. On the stone an ancient symbol is depicted that was used on the N.K. Roerich's banner of the world.

During the helicopter tour, you fly over the whole Altai, fly around the Belukha massif and land in several places at its foot. As the most optimal we offer landing in the Yarlu valley; on the moraine of the Akkemsky Glacier, where the chapel of the Archangel Michael was erected (in memory of the lost climbers); on the shores of Akkem Lake, in which Belukha reflects. We also stay in the Valley of the Seven Lakes, not far from Belukha. Here you can admire the turquoise lakes at the foot of the snowy peaks. In summertime (July) numerous alpine flowers bloom here. Picnic and helicopter transfer to the hotel "Katunskie Porogi", which is located near the airport of Gorno-Altaisk. This is VIP-level private hotel consisted of several timber villas.
