Are you aware of anyone organizing good outdoor trips (not terribly demanding) in the Altai? Do you know any good links/books to find out about Altai? I can speak/read only a few words of Russian but if needed have friends who can translate.
I was recently in Gorniy Altai outside Chemal. We stayed with Kadet Tour (кадет тур), a "tourism centre" which organizes hiking, rafting, riding, and other sightseeing excursions in Altai. You can reach them at +7(383)218-85-50 or by email at [email protected]
