Katun (river)

It is the biggest river in Mountain Altai. It originates from the word “kadyn” that is translated as “landlady” in English.

It rises from the glacier named Gebler. Upper reaches of the Katun is quite violent and the lower Katun flows along the plain, so it’s rather calm.

There are about 30 tributaries with the total length 50 km, which together with Katun are in demand with amateurs of water sports, as they provide the tourists with amazing opportunities for rafting of different categories.
