DAY 1 – KRASNOYARSK

  • Meet-and-greet at Krasnoyarsk International Airport and transfer to our hotel of choice in downtown Krasnoyarsk.

  • Overnight in Krasnoyarsk.

DAY 2 TO DAY 7 – EVENKIA

  • Transfer to Krasnoyarsk Airport and three-hour domestic flight to Tura, the capital of the Evenkiysky District, more commonly known as Evenkia, a 763200-km2-wide land of unexplored taiga forests, majestic rivers, and remote hamlets inhabited by the Evenks, an obscure Tungusic ethnic group scattered across much of North Asia and officially recognised as one of the Small-Numbered Indigenous Peoples of the Russian North.

  • We’ll spend the next six days in Evenkia, exploring its majestic nature and getting to know its dwellers, the proud and gentle Evenks, who will share with us their food, their homes, and the mystic secrets of their endangered culture.

  • Highlights of our stay in Evenkia will include speed boat excursions along the Lower Tunguska river, traditional cooking and tasting sessions with local Evenk families, long day hikes into the Siberian taiga, a visit to reindeer farm, and an overnight in a chum, the customary raw-hide tent used by many semi-nomadic peoples of the great Soviet North.

  • Overnights with local Evenk families.
