Trekking in Siberia: Altay, Shavlinskie lakes.

Routes

Autumn trekking to Shavlinskie lakes.

Trekking route for Schavlinskie lakes. This is very popular summer route but in winter time this road looks differently. These photos are made at last days of october. The main preference of this season it’s total absence of other tourists and meditative staying on the lake.

We woke up, enjoyed the view and... here we go!
