We offer you the most popular water route in the Altai mountains! The relatively short route will bring you a variety of impressions. Rafting takes place in the middle reaches of the main waterway of the Altai mountains - Katun River, which originates from glaciers of the highest mountain in Siberia - Belukha (4506 m). Almost all the major powerful rapids are located in the middle part of Katun river. Ever-changing panorama of the beautiful valley of the Katun River, lots of thrills - that's waiting for you in this journey.

Altai is very popular among the amateurs of rafting, because the abundance and the diversiry of the rivers let tourists undertake rafting tours of any complexity. Mountain rivers with their violent current and a great number of rapids will make any rafting tour an exciting adventure.
