Rafting on the Uls and Vishera rivers and exploring the Kvarkush plateau

Rafting on the Vishera on catamarans is a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with the nature and history of the Northern Urals.

Vishera is home to the highest point of the Perm Region — the Tulymsky Kamen ridge, whose height reaches almost one and a half thousand meters. And in the rocks and caves along the Vishera, traces of primitive man's activity have been found — parking lots and rock carvings.

Vishera is an ideal place for fishing: the swift cold waters serve as a habitat for rare species of northern fish — grayling and taimen. 

The river flow is quite calm, there are almost no rapids and rapids in it, which makes the water hike safe and perfectly suitable for both beginners and experienced travelers. That is why Vishera is a popular place to relax with children.
