I am still in the Russian Altai. It is worth to turn from M52 highway to Chemal – 36 kms each way. This small village is beautifully located on the high bank of the rapid Katun River.

In the afternoon I decided to go via Gorno Altaisk to Lake Teletskoye – second lake in Siberia after Baikal. The bus ticket from Gorno Altaisk to Artybash on the lake costs 270 roubles. Unfortunately the weather is changing. I was still lucky to have such a sunny period before.
