Jeep tour of Arakul shihan rocks and sanctuary of big Allaki
On this trip we combine two monumental, hard-to-reach and textured natural locations - the "Stonehenge" and the "Chinese Wall" of the Urals. We will get to the Arakul Shikhan Mountains, climb to their summit and look at 11 Ural lakes. And then we will find ourselves at the site of an ancient sanctuary and look at petroglyphs.
What's in store for you
Conquer the "Chinese Wall" of the Urals
The Arakul Shikhany are a narrow and high wall stretching from the north to the south of the Chelyabinsk region. We will get here on prepared off-road vehicles and make an ascent to one of the highest points of the Shikhany, the Chamberlain peak. You will have a fantastic view of 11 Ural lakes, rocks and forests. Fossils and mollusk remains will be found under your feet every now and then, because we are walking along the reef of the ancient sea!
Great Allaky: drawings of primitive people
Our second destination will be the Great Allaky, a prehistoric sanctuary in the form of bizarrely shaped rocks that rise in the middle of an open field. You will understand why this place is called "Ural Stonehenge", you will find drawings of ancient people on the rocks and understand what they mean. You will admire the large lake of the same name, and in summer you can swim here.
