Kayaking the Altay Mountains


	[Full Image]

Siberia was off the list for most kayakers due to the cold war but the rivers there were the most sought after since long. Easily accessible with our Expedition vehicle we will explore the drainages of the Altay mountains located in the border area of Russia, Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan. Great Siberian forests, plenty of Whitewater and Russian hospitality.
