Accommodation
We will stay in various accommodations, but as we have an outdoor about half of the nights we will stay in tents. From time to time we will stay in yurts (a nomad tent) or houses. As we travel in remote and wild areas, it can be possible that there are only 2 or 3 houses with 3-5 beds in each. So, be ready to share a room with 2-4 new friends. For washing you will be able to use a Russian banya (sauna) every evening when we stay in houses or yurts. The toilet in some places is a type of pit latrine. The first and the last night of our nature tour we will stay in a hotel in Gorno-Altaisk.
