Itinerary

Day 1 - Transfer to the Aldan river
06:00 Pick up and departure from the stop "Academic Russian Drama Theater", Lenin Avenue, 21.
The route runs along the famous Kolyma highway.
There are two ferry crossings across the Lena (15 km) and Aldan (1.5 km) rivers on the way.
At first, the road passes through the taiga. After 50 kilometers, the alaasi appear – these are fields in depressions. The Alaasy mountains were formed due to the melting of permafrost.

On the edges of the alps, you can see a lot of bumps formed by the process of permafrost melting.

After crossing the Aldan River, camp overnight on the banks of the Aldan River channel.

Fishing enthusiasts have the opportunity to catch perch and pike on spinning.

Dinner (cooking dishes starting from this time by the tourists themselves through the "instructor is always around" duty).

Overnight in tents.

The length of the car route is 400 km.
Day 2 - Transfer to Khoroto Lake (on the Uluu map)
Continuation of traffic along the Kolyma highway.
A road begins from the village of Khandygi, which was built by GULAG prisoners in the 40s of the XX century. During these years, camps were located along the road every 20-30 km, which were subsequently liquidated after Stalin's death.
The route passes through the Tomporuksky ranges, Rocky Mountains and Suntar Khayata, winding among the high mountains. On the way, stops in picturesque places for photography.
Overnight parking in the territory of the Khorotu campsite.

There are several river obstacles to wade through on the way.

In the middle of the route, you will see a snowdrift.

Sisindya is a lake with beautiful views. The lake is rich in char: Malmo and Arctic char.

If catching malmo is not difficult, then the Arctic char is a difficult fish to catch and requires great skill from the fisherman.

Day 4 - Transfer to the Altai Chukkui reindeer breeding base
This site is rich in views of high mountains with snow-white peaks.
There are residential buildings and a cut-down sauna on the Altachukkui base.
In the old days, this area, rich in grass, was a favorite camping spot. After crossing mountain ranges devoid of vegetation suitable for horse feed, the meadows of Alta Chukkui were a welcome place for travelers to recuperate.
Here you can see the notches with writing on the trees left by travelers.
Alta Chukkui is the main base for reindeer herding brigades roaming the area.
Reindeer herders live at the base all the time, but sometimes some houses are empty and the owners allow us to live in them. When fully occupied, you will spend the night in your tents.
The length of the route on an all-terrain vehicle is 45 km.
Day 5 - Hiking to the waterfall of the Malli river (Naledny river)
The route passes through the valley of the Koltako River and further along the gorge of the Malli River. Malli Waterfall is a powerful waterfall with a height of 28 meters.
It's hard to believe, but this area was previously the bottom of the sea and here you can find the remains of an ancient living world.
When the water level on the Koltako River is low, the route follows the riverbed. When the water level on the river is high, the route follows a trail located on the mountainside.
Climbing along the Mallee along the river with frequent fording (wading boots are mandatory!).
After visiting the waterfall, climb to the next step of the gorge and visit the ice.
The walking route is 17 km long.

The sources of the Munil River lie on the glaciers of Suntar Khayat at an altitude of about three thousand meters.

Approaching the valley of the Suntar River, Munil passes through a narrow rocky gorge, where it forms a cascade of waterfalls, and of them the most powerful and highest is the lower waterfall, which is accessible to the public.

The length of the walking route is 12 km.
