The Ukok plateau is located in the extreme south of the Altai Republic at an altitude of 2200-2500 meters and is surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges. The highest mark of the mountain frame is reached by the Kuyten-Uul mountain, 4374 m high. It is interesting to note that Kuyten-Uul is the second highest among the Altai mountains, and the first place belongs to the Belukha mountain. The Peace Zone of the Ukok Plateau can rightfully be called one of the most remote and mysterious places on the map of the Russian Federation. Located practically in the very center of the Eurasian continent, at the junction of the borders of Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia (Ulan-Daba Pass, Gobi Desert) and China. Ukok, like other Altai reserves, is included in the UNESCO heritage list. Ukok is the keeper of many legends and secrets, because there are quite a large number of archaeological sites on the Plateau, some of which were created during the Paleolithic era. Burials of cultures were also discovered on the plateau, which, as the research results show, existed in the 3-2 millennia BC. NS. This millennial Plateau is considered sacred among Altai shamans and Chinese Buddhists. Altai elders call it “The Beginning and End of Everything” or “Chest” and believe that only those to whom the spirits of the mountains were supportive can get to Ukok.
