Altay
Choose a mountain direction before adding stops
Treat the Kanas-Hemu direction and Koktokay as separate journeys, with distinct gateways, transfers, reservation rules, and winter conditions.
Travel shape
Koktokay lies on a different travel direction from Kanas and Hemu.
Weather
Winter roads, vehicle requirements, and snow-driving conditions around Kanas differ from summer travel.
Effort
Kanas, Hemu, and Baihaba involve distinct internal transport, so transfer and walking demands cannot be ignored.
Start with the question you care about

Practical questions before you go
How long do you want in Altay?
Choose the pace closest to your holiday. Only the source-backed route opens a full detail page; the others go to planning.
Choose among Burqin, Kanas, and Hemu without adding the Koktokay direction.
Slow down Kanas and Hemu while retaining buffers for reservations, transfers, and weather.
Add Altay city or the Koktokay direction and account for the additional long transfer.
