There are amazing places on Earth where nature tries to hide its secrets from our prying eyes. The Belukha mountain range in the Altai Mountains - the mysterious Belovodye - is just such a place.
The great Russian artist, writer and philosopher Nicholas Roerich, traveling in Altai in 1926, approached Mount Belukha along the valley of the Akkem River. He wrote in the book “Altai - Himalayas”: “The water in Akkem is milky white. Pure Belovodye … On the seventeenth of August we saw Belukha. It was so clean and clear. Straight Zvenigorod."
At the very beginning of the XXI century, as part of a group, I walked to the foot of Belukha by the same route. The trip was remembered not only for the beauty of the mountain peaks, the whiteness of the two-headed Belukha, the transparency of the waters of the Akkem Lake and the brightness of the flowers of the alpine meadows, but also for the manifestation of the unusual properties of that area. Even the name of the Akkem River, if you read it the other way around - Mecca, - indicates that Belukha itself and the surrounding area are sacred territory.
Belukha - a beacon of light
Ufologists believe that Belukha (4509 meters above sea level) is not just the highest of the Altai mountains. She is a powerful emitter of earthly energy into space, a beacon of light. There is an energy bridge between Belukha and Mount Shasta in Northern California (USA), which is also credited with sacred properties. There is even an opinion that there is an underground city under it, built by the Lemurians before the Flood, more than 12,000 years ago.
My personal observations provide an indirect confirmation that Mount Belukha is a powerful radiator of energy. Once I climbed the Akkem glacier to get a better view of Belukha and the neighboring mountains. To my regret, the low clouds that came running covered everything around, and I found myself in a dense fog. After a while, the clouds began to rise, and soon a breathtaking picture opened up to my eyes: a glacier cut by cracks, the Akkem wall with the snow-white peaks of Belukha, Eastern and Western, and the neighboring mountains. Dense clouds above them rushed quickly to the east, driven by a strong wind.
And then I noticed that over the Eastern Belukha the clouds were diverging, forming a large oval gap in a solid gray blanket, and then they closed again, having passed the summit. Nowhere else in the clouds were there any gaps. At first I thought that the wind was blowing the clouds apart, but no vortices were visible in their dense rows. It's just that the clouds seemed to melt away, dissolve, hitting the top, and then thicken again.

Above the top of Belukha, a piece of blue sky shone through, as if he was holding on to the top, not moving in the wind, no matter how the clouds pressed against him. It was amazing! It seemed as if the clouds in this place were dissipated by a huge gas burner. It can be assumed that this is the result of a powerful energy flow directed from the top of Belukha up to the stars.
Dragon's Ridge
To the north of Belukha there is the Yarlu stream, the right tributary of the Akkem River, flowing from a wide valley, in the middle of which rises a small narrow ridge with steep rocky slopes. One gets the impression that a tectonic cataclysm has recently occurred in this ancient valley, once licked by a powerful glacier - a fault in the earth's crust formed in its axial part, and this ridge rose up along it. Narrow, winding, with sharp rocks, it is very similar to the dorsal crest of a giant dragon lying in the trough of the valley, with its tail to its mouth. That's what I called it - Dragon's Ridge.
From afar, I noticed the unusual coloring of the rocks of the Dragon Ridge - they were lilac in color! Coming closer, I saw that not only the steeps of this ridge, but also small rocks in the valley, and even stones in the stream have the same color. It seemed like a miracle: usually the gray sandstones in the Jarlu Valley were lilac, purple!
The most sensitive women in our group groaned, “What a powerful energy here in this place! I'm just shaking all over! I then did not attach any importance to these words. I just decided to take a few colored pebbles with me as souvenirs.
Imagine my surprise when, returning to our camp on Akkem, shaking these stones out of my backpack, I saw that they had become the usual gray color. There was no limit to my surprise. How can this be explained? It was then that I remembered the exclamations of women. Probably, the earthly energy coming from the depths of the interior was so strong there that it was able to change our color perception, painting ordinary gray rocks and stones in lilac and lilac colors. Nicholas Roerich in the book "Altai - Himalayas" points to "violet physical feminine radiation in the Belukha region."
I saw similar purple rocks in the Valley of the Seven Lakes, located on the other side of the Akkem River.
Mysterious failure
But this is not all the secrets of the Jarlu Valley. On the flat slope at the bottom of the valley, there is a crevasse that gapes like a dark hole. It is strange that this cleft ends in the middle of the slope and that apart from it there are no more deep cracks in the valley. It is also mysterious that the stream flowing into this hole from the rocks disappears somewhere. All this intrigued me, and I decided to come closer to admire this miracle of nature and, possibly, find answers to my questions.
Approaching the edge of the hole, I saw that its steep walls seemed to be made of sharp-angled stones, and the lower part of the funnel goes down and is completely filled up with large blocks, between which holes gape with blackness. It is in these holes that the stream flowing down from above disappears. I could not see the bottom of the hole because of the large boulders. I had a feeling of something mysterious, as if I was standing in front of the entrance to a dungeon.
Abode of the gods
Several months later, in a conversation with my friend Valery Mukhamadiev, who also visited the upper reaches of the Akkem, I shared my observations. A friend told me that he once saw a small round-shaped luminous cloud rising up from the Yarlu valley, from where there is a strange hole. It was the only cloud on that side of the sky, and it was climbing up unnaturally quickly. Valery, who is well acquainted with esoteric and spiritual teachings, suggested that he was observing the movement of a creature or a group of beings in their subtle body in the form of a luminous cloud.
I completely agree with this, because if, according to some sources, there is an underground city under Mount Shasta, then why not the same settlement near Belukha? It is no coincidence that seekers of spiritual knowledge placed the mysterious Belovodye, a treasury of ancient sacred knowledge, in this part of Altai. And who, if not representatives of ancient civilizations, preserve this knowledge, being in subtle bodies in secret caves or even in an underground city?
One Altai grandmother secretly told me that together with other believers in the White Burkhan (a religion that originated in Altai at the beginning of the 20th century, containing a rejection of shamanism with its bloody sacrifices and a non-violent struggle for the creation of an independent Altai state. - Ed..) has been traveling in summer to Belukha for many years in order to visit a sacred place in the Akkem valley - Tekelu waterfall. According to the old Altai woman, this waterfall washes away human sins, gives spiritual cleansing and balance for the whole year.
It is known that the secret goal of the Central Asian expedition of N. K. Roerich was searching for the mysterious Shambhala, or Belovodye - a secret mountain monastery, in which, according to legend, the gene pool of mankind is kept. Nicholas Roerich wrote in his book “The Heart of Asia”: “In the middle of the 19th century, an extraordinary message was brought to the Altai Old Believers:“In distant countries, behind great lakes, behind high mountains, there is a sacred place where justice flourishes. There lives the highest knowledge and the highest wisdom for the salvation of all future humanity. This place is called Belovodye."
And in the book “Altai - Himalayas” he describes the attitude of the Altaians to Belukha as follows: “The name of Orion is often associated with stories about Gasser Khan. In Altai, Mount Belukha is called Uch-Syure, Uch-Orion. Sure is the dwelling of the gods, corresponds to the Mongolian Sumer and the Indian Sumeru … The heavenly bird on Mount Uch-Sure defeated the dragon."
Obviously, the Altai legend tells about some kind of epic battle that took place over Mount Belukha, the abode of the gods, where a heavenly bird defeated the dragon. Did this dragon fall into the valley of Jarlu?
