Reviews
I chose this tour in September to combine rest and treatment at the springs. Aleksandr as the senior guide led us to Belukha, told us everything, monitored safety. The weather was excellent, sunny, but autumn was already felt in the mountains. Overnight stays in guest houses went calmly. Rakhmanov Springs are something incredible, the water is truly healing. The off-road drive was long, but we knew what we were getting into. I recommend it to everyone if you want to see the true nature of Altai.
We went on this tour in September, it's not so hot anymore, but the weather is changeable — sometimes sun, sometimes rain. The road to Katon-Karagay takes almost the whole first day, but along the way we stopped for lunch, the food was decent. The guesthouses are clean, the hosts are friendly. The transfer to Belukha by off-road vehicle is a separate adventure, it shook quite a bit, but the views that open up are stunning. The radial hike to the foot of Belukha was not easy, the altitude takes its toll, but we made it. The Rakhmanov Springs are something incredible, the water is warm and truly healing, after swimming the fatigue was gone as if by hand. The only thing is that in September the nights are already cold, you need to take warm clothes. Overall I liked the tour, I recommend it to those who are ready for long journeys.
We chose this tour with a friend to spend our vacation actively and improve our health at the springs. In August the weather was pleasing, warm during the day, but the evenings are cool, good thing we took windbreakers. The road to Katon-Karagay is long, but the landscapes outside the window brightened the journey. The transfer to Belukha by off-road vehicle is a separate attraction, it shook, but it was fun. The radial hike to the foot of the mountain was memorable, although it was hard to breathe due to the altitude. The Rakhmanov Springs are magic, the water is warm and truly healing, after swimming you feel a surge of strength. Overnight stays in guesthouses are simple but cozy. The only minus is that in one of the houses the water pressure in the shower was weak. Overall the trip left the warmest memories.
We went in June, the weather was cool, but beautiful. The jeep ride is long, but the views are super.
We had long wanted to see Belukha with our family, and so we chose this tour. We took our teenage children with us. In June the weather is changeable: sometimes sun, sometimes rain, but it didn't spoil the impression. The road to the start of the route is long, but the scenery outside the window changes. Overnight stays in guest houses are simple but cozy. The radial outing to the foot of Belukha is remembered most of all — the peak opened up in all its beauty. Rakhmanov Springs pleasantly surprised us, the water is warm and healing. Organization is top-notch, everything according to the program.

We went on this tour with our family in September. The nature is very beautiful, especially Belukha Mountain is amazing. The water of Rakhmanov Springs is healing, relieves fatigue. The guides are good, but sometimes information was insufficient. Overnight stay in the guest house is comfortable, the food is delicious. The road is long, but there are many scenic spots. Overall, we got a good impression from this trip.

We chose this tour with my wife for our anniversary. Madina organized everything, thank you. In August the weather was pleasant.
We decided to spend our vacation in July with the family not at the sea, but in the mountains, especially since the children have grown up. We chose the tour because of the healing springs and the opportunity to see Belukha. The road to Katon-Karagay is long, but we were prepared, we made stops to stretch. On the first day we just got there and rested. The next day there was a transfer to Belukha and an acclimatization hike, we walked slowly, getting used to the altitude. The weather was hot, but it's cool in the mountains, especially in the morning and evening, warm sweaters came in handy. The radial hike to the foot of Belukha was memorable, the peak opened up in all its glory. The Rakhmanov Springs are something special, the water is warm and truly healing, after swimming you feel lightness. Overnight stays in guesthouses are simple but clean, the hosts are friendly. The only minus is that in one house there was no hot water, but that's a trifle. Overall the trip was a success, I recommend it.
We went with friends in June, wanted to see Belukha. Aleksandr behind the wheel of the off-road vehicle is a master of his craft, drove us comfortably. True, it was cool in the mountains, but we prepared. Rakhmanov Springs are a separate pleasure.
We chose this tour with my wife for our wedding anniversary, we wanted solitude and mountains. In June it's still cool at night, the sleeping bag came in handy. Overall we liked it, but the road was tiring.
Ezdili v iyune, pogoda otlichnaya. Radiahnye vyhody k Beluhe ponravilis.
FAQ
We've collected the questions travelers ask most often. Didn't find your answer? Write to us — a guide will reply in a couple of minutes.
Ask a questionPack so that you're comfortable both in the vehicle and on walks: footwear and clothing should suit the weather and not restrict movement. Take a hat, sun protection, water and something light to snack on, and keep your phone or camera charged. The guide will tell you the exact weather details for your date on WhatsApp before departure.
The programme alternates off-road vehicle transfers and short walks, and in the evenings you return to guesthouses, so there's no sharp overload. But it's better to decide based on specific people: write on WhatsApp with their ages and how they handle the road, and we'll honestly say whether this group composition works.
You walk on two days: first an acclimatisation walk around the area, then a radial outing to the foot of Belukha; the rest of the time is by off-road vehicle. The distance and walking times depend on the weather and the group; the guide will tell you before departure. No separate athletic training is needed for the programme.
This tour is listed as a group tour, so on the standard schedule you travel together with other participants. We'll check on WhatsApp whether a trip can be arranged for your own group on your date — there we'll also explain how it looks along the route. The format with an off-road vehicle and overnight stays in guesthouses stays the same.
Day 1 starts with the group meeting at the start of the route, followed by a jeep transfer to Katon-Karagay with short stops for rest and lunch, and check-in at the guesthouse in the evening. On the fifth day, after breakfast, you transfer to the end point of the route, and the tour ends in the evening. We will confirm the exact meeting time for your date on WhatsApp.
Yes, the fourth day is devoted to Rakhmanov Springs: bathing in the healing springs, rest and walks, with a night in a guesthouse. Bring swimwear and a towel. Entrance tickets to individual sites are not included in the price — if there is a fee for the springs, the guide will tell you in advance.
The price includes the off-road vehicle along the entire route, the guide's work and the organisation of all stops in the programme. Separately, you pay for personal expenses, for food where it isn't specified, and for entrance tickets to individual sites. We hold the booking for this group departure based on a WhatsApp message with no prepayment, and we accept payment for the tour on the day of the trip — via Kaspi, by card or in cash; you can cancel the booking free of charge.
