Adventure tours in Siberia
Russia is the largest country in the world, and has perhaps the largest unexplored area in the world. Siberia for nearly all North-East Asia. Siberia covers an area of 13,100,000 km ² (5.1 million square miles). With an area of great people and a density of about three people per square kilometer in Siberia is the perfect destination for adventure travelers who want to explore unknown territory.
Urals are the easiest target. They divided the Urals Polar, Northern Urals, Central and Southern Urals Urals. South Urals is densely populated and popular among tourists. Moderately high Urals (2000 m peak by anywhere) offers many possibilities – hiking, rafting, caving and much more. Since traveling independently Urals contain much of their preparation is difficult and not very popular with foreigners.
There are a few offices in Yekaterinburg, who organize trips to the Urals.
Great Altai is probably the most popular way to Siberia. Great Altai hosts Mt. Belukha (4056 m), which is the highest mountain in Siberia. Like many other destinations in Siberia in the Altai traveling requires much preparation and much self-sufficiency. There are a number of agencies in Novosibirsk and Barnaul, which can help arrange your trip.
If travel alone, it is very important to carefully plan your trip. Knowledge of Russian language will be a big help, because there are many people who speak foreign languages there. When traveling in the summer, particularly in the Russian taiga, or rivers, do not forget insect repellent.
