Craving An Adventure Voyage & Nature Expedition Across Russia?

For more adventurous travellers, rest your eyes upon the spectacular view of the Northern lights (Aurora Borealis) in Murmansk which streak magnificently across the clear night skies.  You can also unearth the mysteries of the vast, uninhabited archipelago of Franz Josef Island during an breath-taking arctic expedition.

Situated off the northeast coast of Siberia, this hauntingly beautiful yet lonely wilderness provides the perfect Russia travel experiences for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

Want to Experience Russia’s Indigenous Villages & Countryside? 

Beyond the main capitals, Russia is exploding with rural villages, quaint fairytale cottages and sprawling countryside regions that have been sculpted by centuries of rich Soviet Era history. This can be seen through ancient villages such as Kinerma in the Karelian Republic and Vyatskoye in the Yaroslavl region.

In the aftermath of Soviet collectivised agriculture and state industrialisation, many of these rural centres have preserved their traditional way of life. Many local civilians live inside unique wooden terrace houses and honour sacred customs. You’ll never find more authentic and culturally enriching travel experiences when exploring Russia’s countrysides. 

Russia’s beautiful natural landscapes within Altai Republic and Yamal Peninsula are also home to the various indigenous tribes of Russia (such as the Nenets people). You’ll have the rare opportunity to go dog-sledding, white-water rafting  and horseback-riding. Whether you prefer hiking across Altai’s majestic Golden Mountain ranges and learning about the nomadic folk, discovering Karelia’s peasant traditions, or experiencing the resilient livelihoods of indigenous tribes in the Arctic Circle, Russia has all the wonderful travel experiences which you’ll cherish for a lifetime. 

We understand that many still see Russia as unknown territory, making it an unusual (and at times scary) travel destination. That is why our goal is to make the unfamiliar familiar. We help travellers feel more at ease by exposing them to the natural beauty and soul of almighty Russia. This is not only within the major cities of Moscow and St Petersburg, but also the lesser-known yet equally beautiful rural townships and villages.
