Russia is one of few
places on the planet remained
exotic.
It is due to variety
of reasons: great territories, underdeveloped infrastructure,
language barrier, specific background and history. More and more
foreigners come to Russia every year to discover this wonderful
world. Some of them go sightseeing to
Moscow and Saint-Petersburg; some go to
Sochi to alpine
skiing; some travel Trans-Siberian railway. And others explore the
most breath-taking whitewater rivers in
Russia.
Altai is a mountains
system located at the south of Siberia, where Russia, Mongolia,
Kazakhstan and China all come together. ‘Altai’ means ‘Golden
Mountains’ translated from Turkic. True, it’s totally a pure
gold.
Altai is definitely the
best region for kayaking in Russia:
- Wide variety of rivers, whether short and easy or fast-flowing and of the highest level of difficulty
- Altai mountains are beautiful and fascinating. This is for sure one of the ‘must visits’ for everyone
- Relatively well-developed tourism infrastructure: Novosibirsk International Airport, smooth roads, camping sites, local travel agencies
- Safe and friendly environment
- Altai is a very special place, come and feel the magic
Altai is unrivalled
for its big
volume rivers multi-day runs. Kayakers from all over the world keep
coming to Altai to paddle such famous rivers as Argut, Chuya,
Chulyshman, Bashkaus.
To be sure, Altai
slowly but steadily is
becoming whitewater Mecca especially for big volume fans.
To arrange the trip to
Russia by oneself could be rather complicated. The language barrier
to start with. Almost nobody speaks English in Siberia and don’t
even try to understand the Cyrillic alphabet. This is the reason you
need local guide to make your trip doable.
About me
My name is Anton
Sveshnikov, I’m 32. I’ve started
paddling at age of 5, when my parents put
me to the canoe at the first time. I’ve been kayaking since my 21st
birthday. I spent several seasons on Altai
paddling local rivers and working as a guide. I also paddled rivers
of Nepal, India, Norway, Europe, USA, Chile, Argentina, Costa Rica
and of about 20 more countries. Yet Altai always was and still is my
home region.
If you’re looking for
someone to organize your trip to Altai, I’m the guy you need.
Personal
qualities:
- Fluent English. Not as perfect as to read Shakespeare in the original, yet just enough to discuss works of Dostoevsky.
- Western guide pattern. I have a large experience in working with foreign tourists gained in India and Nepal.
- Certified raft-guide, safety-kayaker and trip leader by International Rafting Federation
- Wide grasp of Altai specific. I wrote Altai whitewater guidebook, based on information I have been collected since 2009. English version is coming soon
- Full range of services: from invitation for your visa on out to transfer to the airport; from boats rent on out to the most remarkable rivers guiding.
- Ad hoc approach: meet your need; bring to life what you dream about.
