Siberia
Rafting and fishing in Tuva
Altai-Sayans mountain region is a land of numerous rivers and lakes, a
true paradise for those fond of rafting and fishing. The specific feature
of all rafting tours in this region is its abundance in interesting objects
and contrasts: rapids, waterfalls, fabulous landscapes changing during
one tour from glaciers of mountain peaks to sandy hills of steppes. In
the upper reaches of rivers, fishing is always very good. Kyzyl-Khem (called in Mongolia Shishkhid-Gol) is a tributary of mighty Yenissei river. It is considered to be the most beautiful rafting river in Tuva and even in whole South Siberia. It is also famous because of excellent fishing. Due to the absence on any roads, travel along the river is possible only by rafting (we use catarafts). The major portion of the route passes in absolutely uninhabited areas, only close to its final point some settlements appear.
