Sakhalin is the largest island in Russia. The route goes around the Tonino-Aniva Peninsula, along the coast of the Aniva Bay and the Sea of Okhotsk. The main wealth of the island is nature: lakes, seas, waterfalls, forests and rocky shores.
Hiking on Sakhalin resembles the program "In the world of animals": lurgha seals greet us from the water, sometimes they swim to the shore and bask on the rocks; cunning foxes strive to steal something from food and clothes, raccoons, cormorants and seagulls help them in this, followed by an eye and an eye. Well, if we're lucky, we'll even see killer whales.
There will be many interesting obstacles — rock clamps, fords, kurumnik and about 90 kilometers traveled. A route for true romantics who love nature, the sea, the sound of waves and sunsets!
We arrive in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in the morning at any convenient time.
A free program, your body needs to adapt to the change of time zone and climate.
How can I spend this day? Get some rest and sleep. After all, we have a difficult 8-hour flight from Moscow behind us.
Or you can visit local attractions and take a walk around Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk ― a city with a rich history, there really is something to see here!
In the evening at 20:00 we are going to the hostel for a briefing.
The campaign has been assigned 3 difficulty categories out of 5 maximum. There will be no serious obstacles in the campaign that require special skills. But it's good if you have experience walking under a backpack and good physical fitness. Because the route is autonomous, we carry everything on ourselves from the first day of the hike and the mileage on some days is quite large.
The tour provides accommodation in a hostel in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and in tents on the active part of the route.
Accommodation in tourist tents.
It is very important to choose the appropriate equipment for each hike, because this is the key to your good mood and comfort on the route. The weather on Sakhalin is changeable and often unpredictable. There may be sweltering heat, or you can get into real bad weather ― prolonged rains and strong winds. The temperature difference between day and night is quite noticeable, so warm clothes must be in the right amount. Personal equipment should weigh 10-15 kg and take up about 2/3 of the volume of the backpack. Do not forget that you still have to carry some of the public equipment and modules with food.
