Russian tourism, despite the wide abundance of places to visit, is still underdeveloped. Nevertheless, more and more people give preference not to the hot sun and gentle sand, but to active and sometimes extreme rest in Russia.
Instructions
Step 1
One of these options is a tour of the wild and virgin tundra. The indigenous population of this region has retained not only a distinctive way of life, but also ancient traditions and customs handed down from generation to generation for centuries. All this allows you to get a lot of new and unique impressions.
Step 2
For travelers, there are such opportunities as rafting on rough rivers, hunting various animals and fishing with the opportunity to get a good reward in the form of arctic char, salmon or unprecedented size of grayling. Most travel agencies advise to come here not only in the summer, but also in the cold season.
Step 3
In winter, you can visit local reindeer herders in the Bolshezemelskaya tundra and take part in an amazing seventy-kilometer walk along the famous Lovozerskaya tundra, which is offered by local residents from the Sami community.
Step 4
Throughout the time spent on this excursion, you will discover the mesmerizing landscapes of vast expanses and monumental hills. And fantastic acquaintance with such inhabitants as proud reindeer, snow-white arctic fox or snowy owl will allow you to take unique pictures for memory.
Step 5
But, going on such a non-standard hike, one should not forget about the harsh weather conditions and the relief of the tundra. The air temperature is always very low here, even in summer there are cold strong winds, rains, frequent fogs and a lot of gadflies. Twilight, diffused light and a flat surface of the earth's cover give distant objects a sense of proximity and vice versa. This fact complicates the ability to navigate the terrain. The main barriers are rivers, swamps and canyons.
Step 6
It is worthwhile to think over the entire travel route in advance. Take care of the necessary equipment, food. And the most important thing is to be able to use the map and compass correctly. Otherwise, the tourist will need the help of a good guide.
