It's a freaky life. Immersion in the culture of Yamal

The schedule for this day is approximate. We do not specify the exact time of the meal, as this is not a hotel, and they do not cook according to the schedule. But we will definitely have breakfast, lunch, dinner and have a few cups of tea.

During the day, we will get acquainted with the way of life and lifestyle of men and women at the camp. By the way, building a house is a woman's responsibility.

Traditionally, it is a woman who should collect the plague, although now men, of course, help. After all, no one wants to wait and freeze.

And what is to make a plague? It is necessary to make, process, smoke deer skins, sew nooks from them to cover the plague with them.

The woman keeps the fire burning in the stove and dresses the whole family. But a lot depends on how warm and comfortable a raspberry for men and a yagushka for women will be. After all, frost is not to be trifled with in the tundra.

The day will be active and interesting: we will learn the rules of life in the plague, learn how to harness deer and harness them, learn about the customs and way of life of the indigenous peoples of the north. And not in a museum, but in real life.

We have breakfast and go out on snowmobiles with trailed sleds or reindeer sleds to the main herd of deer. We continue our immersion into the world of reindeer herders and their herds.

We look at the beautiful animals and learn that different deer have different rights and responsibilities. And about the fact that in the tundra, a person's whole life follows the rhythm of deer life.

Every day, despite the weather, sled deer are captured. And we will see how it happens. To do this, a corral of sleds is arranged in the morning with the arrival of the herd.

Instead of an alarm clock, there is the clicking of deer hooves. The sled stands in a semicircle and is connected by a rope. First, the sled deer enter this corral, and then they are caught and harnessed.

We'll see everything and try it ourselves. Life always turns out to be more interesting than an invented program. Perhaps during our stay, the reindeer herders will need to vaccinate the herd, hunt or go ice fishing. We definitely won't be bored.

We return to the camp, have lunch and exchange impressions. Usually, by the third day, something unusual happens in the soul, and the world becomes a little different from what it was. It is for these revelations and insights, for the change of their worldview, that our guests most often thank us.

We say goodbye to the owners of the chum, thank them for their hospitality and take the track back to Salekhard (in a group of less than six people, it is possible to replace the track with a passenger car).

We are gradually returning to reality and getting used to ordinary life again, which will definitely be a little different now.

See you soon in the hospitable Yamal land, friends!

Return tickets must be taken the next morning after the end of the program (overnight in Salekhard is not included in the price of the tour).
