Peak 1727m, Taishir

hike | 2023-06-16

Shortly after conquering “Peak 1774m Taishir,” we encountered its twin, “Peak 1727m, Taishir.” The routine was familiar: drive, park, a brief walk—so quick, if you blinked, you missed it. Next on the agenda? A well-deserved ice cream break in Taishir, before continuing our drive to Altai city, where we’ll take a well-earned rest.
