  • That time I road tripped the entirety of the Chuysky Trakt in the Altai Republic, Russia as part of a longer romp through Central Siberia. (With a Lada, of course.)

    Ok, well, I've visited Altai last year in September, we drove with a few of my comrades from the city of Omsk through Novosibirsk in my buddy's RAV4 all the way to Tashanta via the Chuyskiy trakt (pass, road, highway, I don't even know what the correct word would be in English). And I was confident that I had been to Altai, but watching this video I'm having second thoughts. There seems to be way more to see than what we saw during our trip.

    Опять, как в годы золотые,
    Три стертых треплются шлеи,
    И вязнут спицы росписные
    В расхлябанные колеи...
    Россия, нищая Россия,
    Мне избы серые твои,
    Твои мне песни ветровые,-
    Как слезы первые любви!
    Тебя жалеть я не умею
    И крест свой бережно несу...
    Какому хочешь чародею
    Отдай разбойную красу!
    Пускай заманит и обманет,-
    Не пропадешь, не сгинешь ты,
    И лишь забота затуманит
    Твои прекрасные черты...
    Ну что ж? Одно заботой боле -
    Одной слезой река шумней
    А ты все та же - лес, да поле,
    Да плат узорный до бровей...
    И невозможное возможно,
    Дорога долгая легка,
    Когда блеснет в дали дорожной
    Мгновенный взор из-под платка,
    Когда звенит тоской острожной
    Глухая песня ямщика!..

    I have just 1 issue. When I was looking at getting my Visa, it says that I have to book accommodation in advance and send off proof before my Visa can be granted.
    I always thought that camping in Russia was impossible for tourists, due to this? How did you overcome this problem?
    I wouldn't mind spending a few nights in a hotel, but I would love to Wild camp too.
