The cost of vacations in the Altai Republic varies greatly depending on the type of accommodation and desired experiences. Tourists can find options ranging from luxurious glamping sites to budget-friendly campsites.

The peak tourist season in the Altai Republic continues, attracting visitors with its mountain views, waterfalls, and lakes. However, the increased demand has led to rising vacation prices.

For budget travelers, accommodation can be found for 2-3 thousand rubles, although these options typically have outdoor facilities. Those seeking more comfort can find houses with amenities for 5-10 thousand rubles per night, while glamping sites can cost as much as 50 thousand rubles.

The cost of tours is highly individualized, depending on factors such as transportation to remote areas and the type of accommodation chosen. Campsites with basic facilities like toilets and gazebos can provide a cost-effective way to enjoy the natural beauty of the region. Tent camping is also a popular option, with scenic spots available beyond Chike-Taman.

Travel agencies offer a range of tours, from one-day trips to local attractions to multi-day excursions. One-day trips to places like Chertov Palets (Devil’s Finger) and Manzherok start from 2,900 rubles, while a five-day vacation in the Chulyshman River valley, including a climb of the Katu-Yaryk pass, can cost up to 34,900 rubles.

Finding accommodation during August, the peak season, can be challenging for spontaneous travelers. Booking accommodation in advance, ideally in the spring, is recommended to ensure a wider range of choices.

While it is still possible to find accommodation for spontaneous trips, it may require more time and effort. Travelers should also be aware that Altai’s unpredictable nature can sometimes disrupt even the best-laid plans.
