The endless expanses stretching from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean still represent a sort of terra incognita even for the most seasoned traveller. Despite being notoriously regarded as an immense sleepy land of eternal ice and grey decaying towns, Siberia is, in fact, one of the most complex and fascinating areas of the former Soviet Union: an extremely vast and surprisingly diverse nation of pristine forests, high mountains, and rolling steppes harbouring a multiethnic society of Russian culture, Soviet heritage, shamanic rituals, nomadic traditions, and Buddhist glory.
In addition to the published itineraries, we also offer tailored adventures, unusual travel routes and short city trips across and beyond Soviet Siberia. Examples include: ghost-town tours in Krasnoyarsk Krai, ethnological expeditions in the Khanty-Mansi Region (Yugra), customised Trans-Siberian journeys and long drives across the endless Taiga of the Komi Republic. Get in touch with us for more info about unadvertised tours.
Siberia is so big, it’s almost more an idea than a place.
