Altai is the best Russian whitewater-kayaking destination now available for international kayakers.
Kostya Lubyagin from Altai World explains why it is so.
I’ve always been travelling over the world. 15 countries (from Russia to Nepal, Africa and Indonesia) tens of rivers from class III to VI class rivers and I can tell you that Altai has all advantages to become a mecca of not only Russian but international kayaking.
What makes Altai a mecca of kayaking? And why you should come to see it?
Last year we had a chance to test a preproduction large 9R and loved it. It seems that almost every other boat that you see on the river is a 9R variant. I can certainly understand why.
“The Large 9R is my favourite boat for expeditions; I have room for all my gear and food and still plenty of volume left to stay on top of the water. The 9R L is extremely fast and stays nice and dry really well, it’s stable and manoeuvrable when heavily loaded and makes kayaking a lot of fun!” – Gerd Serrasolses
Here’s our first (of two) episode from ‘Mama Russia’. We had an awesome month in the heart of Russia, the Altai Mountains that border Siberia with Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia. The country offers some of the best multidays you can ever paddle and the landscape and the scenery are amazing. Really cool place we would love to go back!
