Trekking to Nalychevskaya valley

The route runs through the most beautiful natural park of Nalychevo and is one of the most popular hikes in Kamchatka. 

You will visit the craters of active volcanoes and groves of stone birch, lifeless volcanic slag fields and meadows with flowers and berries, swim in thermal springs and drink real natural narzan.

The trampled trail, bridges over rivers, equipped parking places make this route attractive even for those who go hiking for the first time, even despite decent day crossings (up to 20 km).
