the Altai journey There's a very interesting place in Russia that calls Altai. It's a mountain range where Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan come together. Some regions of Altai are belong to UNESKO World Heritage. It's a place with untouched nature and ultimate beauty. I always had a big desire to visit Altai and I made that journey last year. It was a trip on the horse back because the horse is the most common way to move in that region. Our explorer told me that local folk have a few horses in every house. We was moving through the absolutely wild places during twenty days. I've never seen so beautiful landscapes and so huge set of animals. We saw bears, mountain goats, unusual birds and many another animals every day. It was another world with a life so different from a life in the big city. It's a great feeling when you absolutely relaxed, have no problems and think about nothing. You sleep under the big cedar near the waterfall, wake up early morning, cook the breakfast, catch the horse (it walking free all night) and you are ready for the next wonderful day. We walked nearly 300 km during that trip. I would say it was one of the brightest impressions in my life.
