We journey into vast, remote Siberia for a horseback riding adventure and an intimate view into the beautiful countryside and charming people of this isolated region. Horseback riding is an integral part of the traditional Altaic scene and the naturally gentle Altaic horse provides excellent riding opportunities.
Our journey takes us through coniferous taiga, part of the world’s largest forest, in an area of unusual sedimentary rocks. The forest floor is carpeted with springy sphagnum moss, and Siberian stone pines and larch are frequently seen. Wonderful campsites, culture, scenery will make this a memorable trip for everyone.
You can prolong your journey, joining the Chuya whitewater rafting group.
The group departs from Moscow. The group is seen off by a Team Gorky representative. Moscow-Barnaul flight time is some 4 hours. In Barnaul, the group is met by Team Gorky guides.
