Tour highlights

Lena Pillars
A remarkable natural monument, outcrops of bizarre rocks of Cambrian limestone
Sinsky Pillars (Singing Rocks)
Framed by dense greenery, towering next to a narrow riverbed, their beauty may well compete with the famous Lena
Tuculan Sand Dune
The northern desert, consisting of chains of waving sand dunes. Tukulans are rightfully considered "exotic Yakut nature"
