Big Altai: Belukha, maralniks and Rakhmanovskie lakes by jeeps

I decided to go in June while on vacation. The weather in the mountains is changeable, sun during the day, cold in the tent at night, you need a warm sleeping bag. The jeep transfer to the foot of Belukha went fine, we crossed the passes without problems. Acclimatization took a couple of days, then it went easier. I liked the trekking to the glaciers, the views of the Katun Range were powerful. Rakhmanov Lakes and the maral farms were a pleasant variety after the mountains. The organization is top-notch, the guide showed and explained everything. The return road is long, but it's worth it.

My husband and I chose this tour for Belukha, and it fully met expectations. In August the weather was pleasant, warm during the day, but it was still windy on the glaciers, so jackets came in handy. The jeeps went over the passes, sometimes it shook so much our teeth chattered. The trekking is not the easiest, there were climbs where we had to stop and breathe. But the panoramas of the Katun Range were incredible. Rakhmanov Springs after several nights in tents seemed like a real salvation. The maral farms are also interesting to see, I had never seen these animals so close before. One downside, overnight stays in tents at altitude were hard, you need a serious sleeping bag.

We went to Belukha in July, the weather was changeable, sometimes sun, sometimes rain, but we took warm clothes and didn't freeze. The road on jeeps was bumpy in places, but the views are incredible. Rakhmanov Lakes were a pleasant ending, the water in the springs is warm.

We went in September, the weather was already autumnal, but the views of Belukha are stunning. Rakhmanov Springs are warm, we swam with pleasure.

My husband and I chose this tour for our anniversary, we wanted to see Belukha and Rakhmanov Lakes. In August the weather was good, warm during the day, cool in the tents at night, we took warm sleeping bags. The jeep transfer to the foot of the massif went great, our driver Andrey drove confidently over the passes and told us about Altai along the way. Acclimatization went fine, though a couple of people from the group lagged behind. The trekking to the glaciers was the most memorable, the panoramas of the Katun Range were powerful. Rakhmanov Springs were a pleasant finale, after the tents swimming in warm water is just what you need. We also saw the maral farms, it was interesting to learn about the antlers. The only thing is the drives are long, but it's worth it.
