Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Transfer to Ergakov

    Transfer from Krasnoyarsk or Abakan to Ergakov by registered transport. 

    Climbing to the camping on Lake Svetloy. 

    On this day, we have to walk about 7 km along the mountain taiga trail. 

    The transition will take about 3-4 hours. 

    Public cargo (tents, campfire, etc.) will already be waiting for you at the campsite. 

    You won't have to carry food either!

    This way, your backpacks will be as light as possible! 

    On request, a sightseeing tour of the Vidovka Mountain is possible today, which offers stunning views of the Zvezdny and Ptitsa peaks, Zolotarny Lake and Svetloye Lake. 

    We will pass by the Elephant rocks, which resemble an enchanted city with rounded houses, towers and arches. 

    We will end a difficult day with dinner, which flows into an evening of dating.
