I plan to go hiking in the Altay mointains in the end of july/beginning of august.
The preferred region is the Aktru area, see http://www.waytorussia.net/Altay/Aktru.html.
According to that information it seems as it's possible to just show up at the mentioned tourist camp and then organize hiking trips there on the spot. Can anybody confirm that?
Any other experiences regarding this region?
Of course it would be also necessary to organize a transfer from Barnaul to the tourist camp. Any recommendations?
TIA
Helmut
