Mountains, Meadows & Endless Views. Strolling the Chuysky Trakt

#summervacay Did a walking tour along parts of the Chuysky Trakt and wow, what a ride (on foot). It’s one of those routes where every few steps the view changes and somehow gets even better. Mountains in the distance, pine forests on the side, rivers flowing nearby, it’s like nature’s flexing nonstop. The fresh mountain air hits different, and the vibe is just pure calm. We passed wildflower meadows, tiny roadside villages, and even a few wandering cows (no joke). The guide was chill, sharing cool facts without overloading us, which made the walk feel more like a hangout with epic scenery. Every now and then, the road curved just right and gave us these crazy postcard views of the Altai Mountains. Took way too many photos, not sorry. There are little local stalls too, selling pine nuts and tea, super cute. Honestly, walking part of the Chuysky Trakt is a whole vibe. Peaceful, beautiful, and full of little surprises along the way.
