Follow the indigenous Nenets, reindeer herders from the northern Russian region of Yamalia, as they migrate across the peninsula.

This voyage of discovery launches you into the striking and original culture of the nomadic Nenet, the arctic guardians of a rare and an ancient style of reindeer herding.

Accompany a Nenet family and live with them in a chum, sharing daily tasks with them on the tundra and Polar Ural Mountains.

Each spring, the Nenets guide their enormous herd of reindeer from the frosty wintery pastures towards the summer pastures of the Arctic Circle.

Thriving for more than a thousand years, in glacial winter temperatures of minus 50 degrees to summer heatwaves of 35 degrees, the migration of one of the largest indigenous groups in northern Siberia can range from 500-1,000 kilometers.

Crossing the frozen waters of the Ob River, and passing some of the most remote regions on earth, joining a migration is a truly unique nomadic experience.

Covering a vast territory of 2,000 kilometers, from the Kanin Peninsula at the White Sea in the west to the Taymyr Peninsula, the Nenet people also traditionally hunt, trap and fish. Located on the West Siberian Plain, it is the largest plain in the world.

It’s important to note that the program for the expedition and its activities may change or be adapted according to the group. The Nenets can move their camp at any moment, and so the locations of stay may only be known just before departure.

And with summer temperatures ranging between 5C-25C (with very cold winds) and winter temperatures that can reach below -60C, with an average of -25C-30C out on the tundra, it is extremely important to bring appropriate clothing.

Nenet migration in Yamalia, 12-day expedition in Siberia

Konstantin Zazdravnykh

<h5>Remote, vast, mysterious, these are a just a few of the words used to describe Siberia.</h5>
Covering a huge portion of the Russian Federation, Siberia is a truly unique place. It is also a place not many people venture to. However, on this 15 day adventure, I'm offering the chance to explore the Ukok Plateau in the heart of the Altai mountains.

The trip will begin with a transfer of approximately 700 kilometres, followed by another 200 kilometre transfer to the Djazator village. From there, we will start trekking. We will be hiking for approximately 15 to 20 kilometres per day on this trip. We will be trekking through forests, valleys and swamps. And we will be crossing rivers on horseback, passes and even cliffs. There is also a non-technical climb of the beautiful Tabyn-Bogdo-Ola peak (4,082m). As a result, it is important that participants on this trip are in good physical condition.

Deep in the vastness of the Ukok plateau there is an abundance of amazing things to see. You will get to enjoy some amazing views off the Altai mountains. And you may even get lucky and spot some of the area's amazing wildlife, including the snow leopard. You will also get to meet local people in the area. And while this trip is not for the luxury seeking, there will be opportunities to enjoy a sauna and some great banya!

Exploring a place like the Ukok plateau in Siberia is an amazing opportunity. So if you would like to experience it for yourself, just send me a request. I would be happy to guide you.
