RGK is the airport code for Gorno-Altaysk, the capital and only city of the Altai Republic in southern Siberia, Russia, set in the foothills where the Altai Mountains begin, near the confluence of the Mayma and Katun rivers. The town itself is small, but it is the main gateway to the Altai, a region of soaring mountains, turquoise rivers, forests and steppe that is among the most beautiful in Russia. From here the famous Chuysky Trakt, one of Siberia's most scenic highways, runs south through ever-changing landscapes toward the Mongolian border, passing the Katun River valley and mountain passes. Gorno-Altaysk is reached by its airport, with flights from Moscow and other cities, and by road from the Trans-Siberian railway towns to the north. The climate is sharply continental, with warm summers, ideal for exploring the mountains, and long, cold winters.
