Even a person unprepared in advance can go to Altai. What do you need to do to find the right path? Good advice given on the automobile forum Drom.ru

The most reliable thing would be to talk to truck drivers or bus drivers at a cafe, and even go after someone in pairs (and you won’t run into traffic cops and you’ll be safer, after all, the guys are radio-controlled, you never know if there’s a snowstorm or anything)

So, you can check the driving directions with truck drivers. They can be found near roadside establishments. “Putting up” behind a truck and moving under its “cover” is the right path, but it may seem long for some.

IN good weather With excellent visibility, is there any point in “reaching out”? All you need to do is find the right path - turn in the right place at unfamiliar road junctions and intersections.

One of the answers that is “on the surface” is to use a navigator. But it’s no secret that this device does not always work correctly, it can even lead you into the “open field”, and some car friends got into dead-end situations with its help.

Here's another good piece of advice from the motorists forum:

Simple tourist map- this is the correct option.

Yes, it's elementary! Unfold the map - and you're in the know! The only “but”: it will not always be possible to find a map with current data, with road service facilities in certain areas.
