Ancient spirit and might preserved by indigenous people of Altay

The Altay is one of Russia's highest-lying regions and a place where many cultures mix.

The Telengits are one of the most ancient peoples inhabiting the Mountains of Altay.

They came to the Altay region more than 5,000 years ago but settled down only 200 years ago.

For centuries these nomadic people were valued as excellent warriors -- and until the modern day their traditions and customs are carefully preserved amid the divine natural beauty of Siberia.
