ALTAI MOUNTAINS GUIDE - a trip to the Altai Mountains, which is not canceled.

In two years of operation, 92 tracks were created, with a total duration of about 14 hours. More than half of them have already been translated and voiced in English, the remaining ones will soon be prepared and downloaded.

ALTAI MOUNTAINS GUIDE set an ambitious task: to popularize the Republic of Altai not only in Russia but throughout the world.

The audio guide tracks are like a mosaic canvas, from which the most complete picture of Altai Mountains will be collected. This is more than fragments of knowledge from the fields of geology, biology, ethnography, cultural studies and history. These are parts of our love for the land, which we consider the most amazing and wonderful region of our country.

SAIKOL AUDIOGID is part of the corporate route “Golden Ring of Siberia or Discover Siberia” - a project of the Russian Geographical Society.

The SAIKOL audio guide takes on particular relevance in the light of the current situation, when the only alternative to canceled real trips is virtual trips, and the most favorable prospects are in domestic tourism.

PROJECT

We set out to give the traveler the information that will add a new dimension to reality when the geolocation determines that it is at the topographic point, which is discussed in the corresponding chapter. First of all, these are the most interesting places located in close proximity to the Chuysky tract, or not far from the main ring route with the well-known names “Altai round the world”, “Golden Ring of Gorny Altai” and the like. But if you install the free izi.TRAVEL application for your smartphone, and in the application download ALTAI MOUNTAINS GUIDE “Traveling in the Altai Mountains together with”, it will also work offline - as a preface to the adventures of those who are going to visit Altai for the first time. Actually, we recommend doing this in advance, since it is no secret that the remote corners of the Altai Mountains do not differ in stable communications. To date, 92 tracks have been recorded. But, like everything that ALTAI MOUNTAINS GUIDE does, our audio guide will grow and develop further.

CONCEPT

The idea of ​​telling about the Republic of Altai as an amazing corner of Russia, where the connection of time has not broken up, and it’s not at all difficult to discern how geological and historical epochs come through one another, as if existing in a single space, has been creatively realized. Natural and cultural treasures are preserved here in their original form, which is why the world scientific community has rightly recognized Mountain Altai as a unique natural complex of the planet. In fact, this is the territory of a huge open-air museum, through the valleys, steppes and mountain passes of which you can move from room to room from exposition to exposition.

We tell our listener that when he gets out of the car on the side of a tract or dirt road, he looks around the neighborhood and sees not just landscapes, but real galleries. You just need to be able to take a closer look - in each such picture the events of the past are displayed right up to the darkness of the Paleolithic caves and the frosty breath of the ice ages.

The motto of our Audioguide is not simple, but literal: “Cykol. Listen to what you see. ” This is a personal mobile guide that teaches the traveler to distinguish between implicit signs and understand the true meaning contained in them. It is enough for the listener to ask a question: in which room does he want to enter? Which geological or historical epoch to look into? And the necessary doors will open wide, and many amazing exhibits will appear in front of him, which you understand much more deeply, because you hear a detailed story about each. Even the ancient names of Altai rivers, mountains, villages and tracts will reveal their meaning and become simple and almost family.

PROBLEMATIZATION

There is an abundance of inaccurate information on the Internet from guides and companies that seek to popularize their bases and tours, producing false stories and shifting Altai mythology in their own way. All our work was based on rigorous verification of texts by qualified scientific staff. To date, all the information presented is carefully verified.

MISSION AND TASKS

We believe that the project will also solve a serious problem at the intersection of culture and ecology - a tourist who learns more, listens to soulful words about Altai land, is nourished by respect for its traditions and nature, will become more meaningful and careful about the beauty surrounding it.
