It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour

Documents:

  • Russian Federation passport (internal);
  • medical insurance policy;
  • bank card (shops have card payments, many souvenir shops accept transfers);
  • cash (to pay for the transfer, additional services in the form of a sauna and massage, for the purchase of souvenirs and gifts). There are ATMs in the village.

Medical preparations:

  • all that your doctor has prescribed for you. Additionally, we take: "from the head", "from the stomach", antispasmodics, from allergies.

Equipment:

  • a small backpack (20-30 liters) – it is convenient to take things with you for a walk;
  • sunglasses (preferably polarizing ones);
  • the poncho raincoat is dense (! required): cellophane for 100-200 rubles will not last a day;
  • swimming trunks/swimsuit – for thermal springs;
  • hiking gaiters or flashlights on your feet: from mud, rain and snow. The price is 800-1000 rubles. A useful thing for autumn weather;
  • garden or construction rubberized gloves 1 pair (optional). The price is 50-250₽. They are great for helping with "dirty" weather;
  • a hermetic package for the phone and photo and video equipment (in case of rain). It can be replaced with a plastic bag as a last resort;
  • refillable water bottle or small thermos 500 ml (optional);
  • trekking poles (optional). If there is a problem with knees, hip joints, ankles, they will help a lot. If your sticks do not fit in your luggage, do not worry – we will give you sticks at the base for the whole week of rest.

Shoes and clothes for travel:

When choosing clothes to participate in an active tour, keep in mind that they must protect you from wind, rain, sun, insects and mechanical damage (branches, grass, stones). We recommend taking specialized clothing for tourism and sports made of synthetic materials, as it provides good ventilation, dries quickly, does not crumple, and is more comfortable when moving. The main principle is layering: hot – undressed, cold – insulated.

Shoes:

Comfortable sports shoes. Two pairs with non-slip soles are required!

  • the first pair is high waterproof boots (if there are trekking shoes, it is better to take them). As an alternative for autumn: lightweight rubber (without liner) EVA boots;
  • The second pair is sneakers with non–slip soles;
  • rubber flip-flops for visiting thermal springs.

Clothes:

In autumn, take clothes for warm and cool weather.

For cool weather:

  • The jacket is windproof, waterproof;
  • down or fleece vest (optional);
  • warm sports/fleece suit (sweatshirt, pants);
  • fleece jacket (required! – for all weather conditions);
  • a set of thermal underwear (optional). Can be used as a bottom layer;
  • warm wool socks (merino, alpaca) 1 pair. Look at the fishing shop – they know a lot about warm clothes;
  • scarf / fleece gaiter (baffik) / warm shawl – to insulate the throat and neck;
  • a cap;
  • gloves are warm (fleece is better).

For warm weather:

  • synthetic T-shirts 2-3 pcs.;
  • lightweight sports trousers (required!). You can also take shorts (if the weather allows) or transformers trousers-shorts;
  • socks (2-3 pairs of regular ones);
  • a hat for sunny weather is a cap/panama hat.

Gadgets:

  • smartphone and charging: there is almost no stable Internet signal in the mountains, so if you need offline maps, music, books, videos and TV shows, it is better to download them in advance;
  • powerbank or compact external battery (optional: there is electricity at our base);
  • a flash drive or an external hard drive (optional) – for sharing photos and videos from routes. The guides live in the mountains and cannot send you photos that they take on the route;
  • you can leave the hair dryer at home – we give it out at the base;
  • for photo and video equipment, take care of an airtight package in case of rain.

All necessary equipment is provided for the active part of the tours (equipment rental is included in the tour price).
