Yolt valley treking tour
The Yolt Valley or well known as the Yolt Valley is located in the southern part of the Altai Tavan Bogd National Park. Bordering China to the south, the valley is famous for its untouched nature and is a perfect destination for camping, trekking, and horse riding. During the expeditions you will be accompanied by the local nomads and all your luggage will be carried by camels. Yolt Valley is not as popular as other parts of the Altai Tavan Bogd National Park, but it is no less exciting and in some ways even better, where you can enjoy the remoteness and maximum closeness to Mother Nature compared to Base Camp or Khoton Lake, where it is quite crowded during the tourist season.
Discover Altai Team offers you a well-planned Yolt Trek adventure in the wilderness. Here you can visit many nomadic families and experience their traditions and cultures, fishing at Lake Shegirtai, camp in the wild nature, learn to ride a horse from a master, see wild animals such as fox, red deer and many birds, stay with nomadic eagle hunters and enjoy a homestay in traditional ger and many other hidden gems that can be discovered once you visit such a great destination.
This is a real wilderness expedition and requires good preparation. We will be far from civilization, with no electricity, telephone service, roads or towns. Please be prepared for all weather conditions and bring a waterproof jacket, walking boots, sunscreen and warm clothing. The full pack list is below. But don’t worry, you’ll be in good hands – the local Kazakh community is famous for its hospitality. As with all nomadic people around the world, you will be treated well by your support team.
Our company is well equipped with camping and cooking equipment. We use a new NorthFace VE-25 tent, which is super comfortable and designed for real wild nature expeditions. We also have plenty of mats and sleeping bags. The kitchen tent will be wide and with all the comforts such as deck, chair and all the kitchen equipment.
You will be accompanied by the best local team consisting of an English-speaking guide, a local driver, an expedition chef who will cook three times a day and provide you with many delicious meals, and horsemen who will take care of you with their camels and horses.
This is a unique expedition, not like any other, where you can enjoy the most remote places of the Altai Mountains. Come and enjoy the expedition of a lifetime!
