“Река ждет“, Чулышман, Алтай - 2011, Алексей Овсянников.
Chulyshman translated as “mighty river“, which is quite true. Basin of the Chulyshman river is one of the most wild areas of Altai now.
Chulyshman originates in the alpine Lake Dzhulukol on the Shapshalsyi ridge at an altitude of 2200 meters above sea. The river flows into the southern part of Lake Teletskoye, its length is about 240 km, the basin area is about 16,800 km2.
Chulyshman Valley is a canyon with a length of more than 130 km. There wasn’t a road going down to the valley, locals used steep horse path or waterway through Teletskoe Lake until 1989. Road descent has been begun in 1987, at the initiative of the director of the state farm “Soviet Altai“. It becomes the longest and dangerous pass in Altay called Katu-Yaryk pass. Chulyshman valley stretches for many ten kilometers. River flows in a deep valley with more than half a kilometer depth. Rocks start right from the river and it is often possible to see small waterfalls on the right bank.
Ways of nomadic tribes to Western Mongolia lied here since the dawn of the century. Many mounds of various periods and different Asian peoples are found in this valley. The most notable complex of mounds is “Pazyryk mounds“ a burial clan and tribal leaders (6-8 century BC).
Chulyshman River brings 70% of water flowing to Teletskoe Lake. Perhaps, basin of Chulyshman River is the richest lakes in Altai Mountains. The largest are Dzhulukol, Terenkol, Tadinkol. More than 300 lakes are located around Dzhulukolya necklace. Total amount of lakes is around 1200 in the basin of Chulyshman River.
