Tourists on the Ukok (2001) amah "Touring Club" Equator "
Ukok, according to the Great Soviet Encyclopedia "... is a plateau amah in the basins and Akalaha amah Dzhazator (origins r.Argut). Limited to South Chu Range in the north and south of the Altai mountain range in the south. The height of 2000-2600m, is dominated by mountain steppes and tundra-steppe, which are used as pastures ... ".
From a tourist point of view, the Ukok - this is a great ploskotina consisting of two parts - the Ukok Plateau - river valleys and Akalaha Kalguty and highland plateau Ukok with vertex Maytobe 3220m. Pupyrev flat, treeless absolutely ... This circumstance - a treeless, coupled with remoteness, deserted and romantic touch of antiquity brought to my attention Ukoka.
Once upon a time, in the winter 1980 I saw vast expanses of white hills with patches of rocks, circuses, wide valleys. Then our route was from Kazakhstan through the western extremity of Ukoka in Katunsky, South and North-Chui Chui ridges on Chuiski. It took ANY KIND some two decades to gather strength and re-visit the area ..
Tourism Ukoka feature - it is his "pedestrian." There is no categorical passes, no ice, but there is no forest. Ukok considered exotic and is a very severe test for tourists - skiers. Anyway, ski routes at least "five" is not paved. Peshehodnikov for this area is also exotic, ie. To. Be removed, and get the problem here is very significant. After all, in the Altai many other ranges, with sharp peaks, dazzling glaciers, rock walls, the road to which is much easier and cheaper. Therefore, tourists peshehodniki, amah without hesitation, go through the passes of the Altai, repeating mountain routes, mixing concepts and characteristics of each type of tourism. In this sense, the Ukok clear - this area hiking.
Another feature of the area - the haze of antiquity. Archaeological excavations on Ukok, the world-famous opening - mummy in permafrost burials, rock paintings - all made Ukok plateau some archaeological reserve. Indeed, deserted, remoteness and harsh climate is a great preservative human traces on and under the ground. Five years of hard searching, discoveries and disappointments Novosibirsk amah archeologists, brilliantly described by Academician Molodin amah in the book, which came in handy (our campaign), we have added the desire to witness this legendary place. Visits to the Museum of Archaeology Institute SB RAS, which the participants of the future campaign made twice, archaeologists have highlighted two approaches amah to visiting tourists places associated amah with the archaeological monuments. One opinion was positive - "You go where we have not been, so look out there and tell us ....". Another view was exactly the opposite - "Tourists walk aimlessly, you'd better not be, especially where there are archaeological sites ...".
So the premise of our trip were there, needed to complete a command, plan routes, amah identify ways to the entrance-Out, calculate costs, assemble products, equipment and forth on Ukoka!
Preparing for the campaign - something amah very peculiar. Typically, major preparatory materials are maps and descriptions of places alleged amah campaign. Often very valuable is the opinion of people who have recently visited the area, and the stages of the entrance-departure should be given a very important consideration.
On Ukok are two roads - from Kazakhstan, Ust-Kamenogorsk amah through, Ziryanovsk, Uryl, pass Ukok, and by the Republic of Altai - from Kosh Agach. Since Kazakhstan is now abroad, it mainly for economic reasons, the original destination of our journey on the Ukok was certainly one of the Kosh-Agach. amah This is the most remote district center of the Altai Republic, associated with bus service amah to the Gorno-Altai. (Ticket cost 235 rubles flights - three times a week - Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). From Kosh-Agach on Ukok is good (for reviews of geologists and archaeologists) road through the frontier Tarkhan. Since the campaign was planned at the highest part of the plateau - a plateau, then climb to the valley Akalahi not worth it, because "... the farther zabereshsya, the longer the selected ...". Most seemed acceptable to place the base camp in the upper Dzhazatora or fork Kalguty - Dzhazator roads leading from Kosh Agach. In addition, expected to visit South Chui Range (pass Elangash as emergency exit of the camp on foot).
Consultations with geologists have identified the problem the border zone, so I had to prepare the appropriate letters, amah lists, collect documents. But good luck helped to clarify the situation on the ground amah and to get support from the local authorities. In short the problem went deeper kind, it was time to buy tickets.
