Tykotlova is a protected river of the Ural Mountains. Tour to the Circumpolar Urals

An exciting fishing trip in the conditions of the absolute absence of civilization on the most remote river of the Circumpolar Urals — Tykotlov.

On this trip, we will go fishing for captured Siberian grayling, the largest in the world, and also try our hand at fighting the king of mountain rivers — the red-tailed taimen, rafting on boats and catamarans along the Shaman river. And we will also investigate the presence of energy anomalies in the mountainous part of the Circumpolar Urals — we will see with our own eyes the site of the fall of a huge ancient meteorite, as well as feel the effects of high—energy effects of abnormal zones - biofields.
