Chuya and Katun Rivers Confluence

The meeting point of Chuya and Katun rivers creates a distinct visual contrast between the cloudy white waters of Chuya and turquoise waters of Katun.

These rivers have shaped the development of transport routes and settlements in the Altai region, serving as essential waterways for centuries of human activity.

The indigenous communities of Altai maintain deep connections with these rivers through traditional ceremonies, folklore, and spiritual practices passed through generations.

Visitors can access the confluence throughout the year via local roads, with multiple recreation centers offering accommodation, meals, and outdoor activity arrangements.

The merging waters maintain separate colors for an extended distance, forming a clear boundary line between the two rivers before finally mixing together.
