Teletskoe lake - rest by savages

There is no better way to feel free in the world than to go on vacation to some untouched corner of nature. And not as part of an organized tourist group, but in itself - a "savage." And for rest savages there is no better corner in all of Russia than Lake Teletskoe in Altai .

Rest on the Teletskoye Lake in summer 2015 by savages

Let the middle class, who is trapped in captivity of urban comfort, continue to be deluded that "savagery" is the prerogative of those who can not afford a civilized rest. Like, what's good - to feed mosquitoes in the forest? But only those who have never been on the Teletskoye Lake can count this. None of the five-star hotel will not replace the heady fresh air, the endless mirror of the watery surface and the romance of night gatherings by the fire. And do not be afraid that such a vacation will turn into an endless overcoming of temporary difficulties - a system of so-called "Caravan parks" has long been used on Teletskoye Lake. Caravan parks are created specifically to reduce the influence of a person on the unique nature of the Altai Territory: in them any person will find all the necessary tourist equipment and will be able to put the tent in a specially designated place for it. Guests of the caravan park can use the shower and toilet, replenish the supplies and even get firewood for the fire. The territory of caravan parks is protected, which means that tourists do not have to worry about their safety. For the day of stay in such a park the tourist will need to pay a symbolic amount of 50 rubles.

Budget holidays on Teletskoye Lake

If you do not succeed in getting to the Caravan Park for some reason, many tourist bases offering recreation in stationary tents or allowing to settle on their own territory in their own tent are at the service of budget-seeking seekers. Rest in such conditions is really very democratic prices - spending the night in a stationary tent will cost the tourist an average of 250 rubles. Especially many such bases are in the northern extremity of the lake.

What to do on Lake Teletskoye?

Although the water in the lake is quite cold and does not have to swim even in summer, you do not have to miss the rest. Inveterate anglers can with a clear conscience do their favorite thing, because the waters of the lake are full of fish. Here you can find burbot, pike , perch, bream and many other types of fish. Forests are not inferior to the waters in abundance: berries and mushrooms are waiting for lovers of "quiet hunting". And real hunters have a chance to get a sable, a wood-grouse, a bear or a wild boar, but only accompanied by an experienced huntsman.
