Toponymy: The name of the village “Tyunur” is translated from the Altai language as a shaman’s tambourine.
History: The village was founded in 1876. At the end of the 19th century. Along with Katanda, the village was an important merchant camp on the way to China. The current population is 430 people, for the most part Altaians. The main agricultural enterprise is the agricultural enterprise "Tyungur", there are farms. The local history corner at the school is headed by Adarova Alevtina Alekseevna, a wonderful specialist in her field. Small but very interesting local history museum there is a club in the neighboring village. Kucherla, head of the museum is Tatyana Alekseevna Mantalaeva.
Some pages of the history of Gorny Altai are connected with Tungur. In Western Siberia, the most prolonged and stubborn resistance to the White Guards during the Civil War was provided by a combined detachment of the Red Guard under the command of the Bolshevik P. F. Sukhov. The detachment consisted of Red Guards from Altai, Semipalatinsk, and Kolchugino. Having fought through the Kulunda steppe, Sukhov’s detachment entered the Altai mountains in early August 1918. The Red Guards wanted to break through the Altai mountains and Mongolia to Soviet Turkestan. Residents of mountain villages provided the detachment with food, transport, and guides.
Elderly Altaians say that they escorted both whites and reds along short roads, simply trying to keep both of them from needless bloodshed and to save human lives. Entry of the Red Guard detachment into Mountain Altai caused great alarm to their opponents. The White Guard detachment of Lieutenant Lyubimtsev set off from Ulala to the villages of the Uimon Valley. Barrage detachments were organized, and 7 km below the village. Tungur ambushes were set up on both banks of the Katun.
Here, in the narrow Katun Gorge, on August 10, 1918, P. F. Sukhov’s detachment, numbering 250 fighters by that time, was defeated. All Red Guards who fell into the hands of the enemy were shot. They died heroes, with deep faith in the victory of the working class. In the eastern part of the village there is a monument to Pyotr Sukhov.

Traffic along the Chuysky tract in the summer is quite large, you won’t have to wait long for passing transport. The direction from Tuekta to Tungur via Ust-Kan and Ust-Koksa is less busy, but here every driver understands that a voting person with a large backpack is going to the foot of Belukha or to, and among tourists it is customary to help their own!

Of course, all this splendor of the Altai Mountains will be fully revealed to you.

Federal highway M-52 "Chuysky tract" is very good quality, all the way from Biysk to Chibit there is excellent asphalt and road signs that are to the point.

The main fleet of our vehicles consists of all-wheel drive minibuses and jeeps, as they are most suitable for working in the mountains. These cars may not be as fast as others on the track, but they solve a very important problem. Often, to the beginning of a route, such as or, it is necessary to throw cargo and people so as not to waste time covering 15-20 kilometers walking with a backpack along the road. This is where all-wheel drive vehicles come to the rescue.

If our tourists do not fit into minibuses, we run our branded bus to Chibit with a large TV, good acoustics and a thematic selection of films and videos about Altai, hiking and extreme sports sports

2000 rub. one way, 3700 rub. in both directions (back and forth).

In our transport you are already traveling with guides and other participants of the hike, you can immediately get to know each other, ask questions, hear about the sights and life in the Altai Mountains, have a snack in a cafe that we trust.

In Chibit we traditionally stay at the “Kochevnik” recreation center. Tent accommodation on the territory is included in the price of all tours (unless otherwise indicated, for example, accommodation in houses is included immediately), but you can order more comfortable accommodation in houses or yurts on the “Nomad”.

Buses to Tungur

There is no direct bus connection with Tyungur! This is due to several difficult sections of the road after Ust-Koksa. They represent bottlenecks where cars have difficulty passing.

In the summer, a gazelle seems to travel from the Gorno-Altai bus station, but information about it is always vague for some reason, and it will be completely inconvenient with luggage in the form of a backpack. Maybe something will change in 2017.

The best place you can get to by bus is the regional center of Ust-Koksa, and from there to Tungur (about 70 km) by taxi or hitchhiking. As a last resort, you can spend the night in Ust-Koksa.

There is another option - take a bus that goes to Multa to the exit for this same Multa. Then there will be only 33 kilometers left to Tungur, but the question is how to overcome them. Either call transport from Tungur, or hitch a ride. All in all. We don't recommend it.

Bus Altai-Pokhod

In 2017, we plan to transport our tourists on our own bus; the cost of a trip from Biysk to Tungur will be 2400 rub. one way, 4500 rub. round trip.

It's quite a bit more expensive than taking a regular bus, BUT! There are great benefits!

You don’t have to solve the problem of how to overcome the “last mile” to Tungur.
You are guaranteed not to be late for the start of the hike, because the instructors will be with you!
In our transport you are already traveling with guides and other participants of the hike, you can immediately get to know each other, ask questions, hear about the sights and life in the Altai Mountains, have a snack in a cafe that we trust. stopping to go to the toilet when necessary, not when the driver wants to.

To Tungur by car

Road

If you live not far from the Altai Mountains (for example, in Barnaul or even Novosibirsk) and are a good driver, you can get to the village of Tyungur on your own.

The distance from Biysk to Tungur is 576 km along the most comfortable road, if you drive along the Chuysky tract through the Seminsky pass and turn towards Ust-Kan and Ust-Koksa, before reaching the village of Tuekta.

There is also a shorter road, about 450 km, through Soloneshnoye, Cherny Anui, Ust-Kan, Ust-Koksu to Tungur, but it is mostly gravel, and after the rains it is often just a dirt track.
Therefore, if you do not have a jeep or crossover, it is better to drive along the Chuysky tract - you will definitely not lose in speed!

Attention! Using outdated navigator maps and navigation programs, the program sends tourists along the road from the village of Inya (358 km from Biysk) to Tungur. This seemingly simple and fast path actually contains one surprise.
This direction cannot be reached by car! The mountain trail is accessible to pedestrians, horses, bicycles and motorcycles. Although no, jeepers once drove this route, but there are no others interested yet (link to video

The main fleet of our vehicles consists of all-wheel drive minibuses and jeeps, as they are most suitable for working in the mountains.

If our tourists do not fit in minibuses, we run our branded bus to Tungur with a TV, good acoustics and a thematic selection of films and videos about Altai, hiking and extreme sports.

Delivery cost from Biysk to Tungur - 2400 rub. one way, 4500 rub. round trip.

It's a little more expensive than taking a regular bus, BUT! There are some nuances!

1. Regular buses do not go to Tungur!!! The closest point to Tungur is the turn to the village of Multa, and from there you can either vote on the highway or look for a taxi, which will cost you either inconvenience, lost time, or extra expenses.
2. In our transport you are already traveling with guides and other participants of the hike, you can immediately get to know each other, ask questions, hear about the sights and life in the Altai Mountains, have a snack in trusted cafes that we trust.

Notes

Excerpt characterizing Tyungur (village)

Two female voices sang some kind of musical phrase that constituted the end of something.
- Oh, how lovely! Well, now sleep, and that's the end.
“You sleep, but I can’t,” answered the first voice approaching the window. She apparently leaned out of the window completely, because the rustling of her dress and even her breathing could be heard. Everything became quiet and petrified, like the moon and its light and shadows. Prince Andrei was also afraid to move, so as not to betray his involuntary presence.
- Sonya! Sonya! – the first voice was heard again. - Well, how can you sleep! Look what a beauty it is! Oh, how lovely! “Wake up, Sonya,” she said almost with tears in her voice. - After all, such a lovely night has never, never happened.
Sonya reluctantly answered something.
- No, look what a moon it is!... Oh, how lovely! Come here. Darling, my dear, come here. Well, do you see? So I would squat down, like this, I would grab myself under the knees - tighter, as tight as possible - you have to strain. Like this!
- Come on, you'll fall.
There was a struggle and Sonya’s dissatisfied voice: “It’s two o’clock.”
- Oh, you're just ruining everything for me. Well, go, go.
Again everything fell silent, but Prince Andrei knew that she was still sitting here, he sometimes heard quiet movements, sometimes sighs.
- Oh my god! My God! what is this! – she suddenly screamed. - Sleep like that! – and slammed the window.
“And they don’t care about my existence!” thought Prince Andrei as he listened to her conversation, for some reason expecting and fearing that she would say something about him. - “And there she is again! And how on purpose!” he thought. In his soul suddenly arose such an unexpected confusion of young thoughts and hopes, contradicting his whole life, that he, feeling unable to understand his condition, immediately fell asleep.

The next day, having said goodbye to only one count, without waiting for the ladies to leave, Prince Andrei went home.
It was already the beginning of June when Prince Andrei, returning home, again drove into that birch grove in which this old, gnarled oak had struck him so strangely and memorably. The bells rang even more muffled in the forest than a month and a half ago; everything was full, shady and dense; and the young spruces, scattered throughout the forest, did not disturb the overall beauty and, imitating the general character, were tenderly green with fluffy young shoots.
It was hot all day, a thunderstorm was gathering somewhere, but only a small cloud splashed on the dust of the road and on the succulent leaves. The left side of the forest was dark, in shadow; the right one, wet and glossy, glistened in the sun, slightly swaying in the wind. Everything was in bloom; the nightingales chattered and rolled, now close, now far away.
“Yes, here, in this forest, there was this oak tree with which we agreed,” thought Prince Andrei. “Where is he,” Prince Andrei thought again, looking at the left side of the road and without knowing it, without recognizing him, he admired the oak tree that he was looking for. The old oak tree, completely transformed, spread out like a tent of lush, dark greenery, swayed slightly, swaying slightly in the rays of the evening sun. No gnarled fingers, no sores, no old mistrust and grief - nothing was visible. Juicy, young leaves broke through the tough, hundred-year-old bark without knots, so it was impossible to believe that this old man had produced them. “Yes, this is that same oak tree,” thought Prince Andrei, and suddenly an unreasonable, spring feeling of joy and renewal came over him. All the best moments of his life suddenly came back to him at the same time. And Austerlitz with the high sky, and the dead, reproachful face of his wife, and Pierre on the ferry, and the girl excited by the beauty of the night, and this night, and the moon - and all this suddenly came to his mind.

Tyungur: overview of the surrounding area

For travelers exploring the Altai Mountains, Tyungur is the best village for active rest and adventures. All around are high mountain landscapes with green forests, dominated by cedars and larches. There are also acacias and small birch groves, and the clearings are framed by bird cherry and rose hip bushes.

East direction

To the east there are places untouched by civilization; there are no populated areas. And only the mountains squeeze the raging Katun in a close embrace. On many old maps of Altai, the Tyungur-Inya highway along the left bank of the Katun (through the village of Inegen), 70 km long, is marked; in fact, it does not exist. It is a dead-end country road, the dirt road ends near the mouth of the Akkem River. After that, complete off-road conditions begin, the so-called "Tungur Trail" , 20 km long all the way to Inegen. On this moment A project is being considered to build a modern highway on this section, which will connect Tyungur directly with.

But for now it will not be possible to drive a car along this route to Inegen, although in 2006 a group of extreme sports enthusiasts in off-road vehicles accomplished such a feat. In some places they erected temporary bridges, in some places they dragged heavy jeeps on their hands, and in particularly narrow areas they cut through rocks, widening the passage. Over the course of several years, the bridges rotted and the path crumbled and collapsed again. The Tyungur-Inya trail is passable only for tourists on foot, on horseback, on bicycles and on mountain bikes.

Near the Tungur trail there is "Stone of Health" - like a rock formation cut in half, into which 6 people can easily enter. It is believed to have healing powers: if you stand inside the split for at least 10 minutes, your health will improve significantly.
Above the path you will meet another one unique rock - "Mirror of Time" , according to legend local residents astrally connected with Mount Belukha.
Perched nearby "Stone Women" - tall sculptures with human faces, created by ancient craftsmen.

The route is also interesting for those who want to look at Akkem breakthrough or a trumpet - roaring and raging, making its way through a narrow canyon. A five-kilometer chain of rapids and three-meter shafts is the first complex rafting on the Katun, 23 km from the village of Tyungur. Only strong-willed and courageous water tourists can overcome it, because it belongs to the 4-5 category of difficulty.
