altai republic

Travelling north exiting Mongolia we descended deep into the wooded valleys of the Russian Altai mountains, a verdant and refreshing environment after the windswept Mongolian steppe. Our primary objective was a planned maintenance stop as we pass through Barnaul. The team at Land Rover Albion Motors in Barnaul did an amazing job servicing Disco and securing a replacement tyre for us; in a hard-to-find size for this part of the world. All three of us left refreshed and recharged for Central Asia.
