Ongudaysky District

Ongudaysky District is a municipal administrative area in the Altai Republic, encompassing mountainous terrain, river valleys, and numerous rural settlements. The region's landscape includes natural features and small villages that form the core of daily community life.

The district was established in 1924 and experienced multiple administrative reorganizations over the following decades. These changes reflected the shifting political circumstances of the broader region.

The population of 15,046 residents maintains traditional Altai customs through local crafts, music performances, and seasonal agricultural celebrations.
