TRAVEL PROGRAM: TOUR TO YAMAL
Day 1. March 9, 2025 (Sunday). MOSCOW — SALEKHARD — NENETS REINDEER HERDERS' NOMADIC CAMP
At 8:00 AM, we'll gather at Salekhard Airport, ready for our adventure into the heart of the Yamal Peninsula's tundra. Our destination: a nomadic camp nestled near the serene Lake Landikato and the winding Enzor Yaha River. We'll embark on our journey aboard a rugged TREKOL all-terrain vehicle, traversing the wild landscape for approximately 8-12 hours, depending on Mother Nature's mood and the road conditions.
As we make our way, we'll enjoy a packed lunch to keep our energy up. By evening, we'll arrive at a traditional Nenets chum, where a warm welcome from a local family awaits us. Dinner will feature an authentic Nenets cuisine served inside the chum. We'll spend the night under the same roof as our hosts, sharing stories and embracing their way of life.
Recommended flight:
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: Chum (traditional Nenets dwelling)
Day 2. March 10, 2025 (Monday). TRADITIONAL ICE-FISHING WITH THE NENETS
After breakfast, we dive into the age-old tradition of ice fishing with the Nenets. We'll head out to the lake to either set up or check the fishing nets. A reindeer herder knows every river and lake by heart, always eager to bring home the freshest catch. As soon as the new camp is set up near a promising spot, it's time to prepare the nets and await the haul. Cutting through ice up to a meter thick is no easy task, but the reward of fresh fish makes it all worthwhile.
Our day will be filled with the daily rhythms of the Nenets nomads: chopping wood, cutting ice, and more. We will enjoy meals featuring traditional Nenets cuisine, and spend the night in chums (authentic Nenets tents), sharing in the warmth and hospitality of Nenets families.
In the afternoon, we will capture the magic of the landscape with a photoshoot in the soft natural light, followed by an indoor session in the cozy glow of the traditional dwelling.
Meals included: breakfast, lunch, dinner
Accommodation: chum (traditional Nenets dwelling)
Day 3. March 11, 2025 (Tuesday). VISITING REINDEER HERD OR MIGRATING ALONG TUNDRA
After breakfast, we will reach the main reindeer herd, traveling by snowmobile or reindeer-drawn sleds. This journey is a gentle dive into the nomadic lifestyle of the Nenets, more precisely, into the world of their reindeer. Life here pulses to the rhythm of the herd. Nearly every day, rain or shine, the Nenets train their reindeer. They set up a corral using sleds in the morning as the herd gathers. The thunder of hooves serves as a natural alarm clock. The sleds are arranged in a semicircle, tied with a rope to form a corral where reindeer are herded, caught, and prepped for work. Men step over the rope to leave the corral, while women gracefully duck underneath.
We will dive into the action by helping to catch reindeer, enjoying sled rides, feeding the animals, and capturing unforgettable moments on camera.
Should the weather gods smile upon us, we'll witness the incredible migration – the entire nomadic camp moving to a new location in the tundra. The Nenets dismantle their chums (traditional tents) and load them onto sleds, along with all their gear. They gather the herd, hitch the reindeer to the sleds, and embark on a journey, often covering many kilometers.
Upon reaching the new site, they set up chums and settle in. This migration is a vital aspect of the Nenets’ life, as they traverse hundreds of kilometers north each year and back again.
Dismantling, migrating, and setting up usually take the whole day. You'll have the chance to see the entire process. You can choose either to travel in TREKOL all-terrain vehicles (included in the package) or opt for a more traditional ride on specially prepared guest sleds drawn by horses (available at an additional cost).
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (featuring traditional cuisine)
Accommodation: Chum (traditional Nenets dwelling)
Day 4. March 12, 2025 (Wednesday). TRADITIONAL SPORTS AND THE NENETS LIFE
After breakfast we get acquainted with everyday life of Yamal chum-keeper. It is women who build house for the whole family. To build a house is to curry, adapt, foul reindeer coat with smoke, than to sew niuk, cover for chum. Women are also in charge of sewing dress and footwear for the whole family. In terms of -40c it is very important to make warm and comfortable malitsa (reindeer parka) for men and yagushka for women.
Master classes on reatment of reindeer skins, bead weaving, making special natural ropes of reindeer veins or sewing and fitting of national dress, taking pictures.
Today, we also acquaint ourselves with traditional Nenets sports, such as wrestling, stick pulling, lasso throwing, and many others. Weather permitting, we may witness reindeer sled races too!

FROM PREVIOUS EXPEDITIONS TO YAMAL :
- Stefano Cisee reco on FacebookWe went to Siberia (Nenets people) with Aleksey. It has been one of the best trips I have done so far.

- Giacomo Carlinisee reco on FacebookI really really recommend Mzungu Expeditions!! I've been in Siberia with him to take pictures to Nenets People.

Alexey works with local professionals, so the experience is rich, full and safe. I loved my trip with him!!

- Сергей Мартьяновотзыв опубликован на FacebookОтлично съездили на Ямал. Приключений было выше крыши. Подобрала отличная команда.
- Наталья Ципилеваотзыв опубликован на Facebook#ЭтоТундраДетка �
или как я оказалась на Крайнем Севере и узнала, что он бескрайний!
Накануне Нового 2018 года, в 6 утра, ожидая вылета на свободную Кубу, было принято решение ехать на Ямал.
Впереди было 3 месяца, чтобы собраться, но как это часто бывает, сборы откладывались до последнего. За 2 недели до поездки началась подготовка: покупка тёплых вещей, поиск туристических сумок, подбор спальника, термобелья, посуды, специальной обуви и так далее. Именно в этот момент я поняла, что это будет путешествие, которое будет отличным от всех других.
С момента прибытия в аэропорт Шереметьево и начались наши приключения. Внезапный досмотр вещей, веселые посиделки в зале ожидания, потерявшийся багаж нашего путешественника, первая встреча с Салехардом. Переезжая Обь по зимнику, в шутку прощаясь с цивилизацией, мы смеялись над замёрзшей водой в бутылках.
А потом...началась пурга. Не метель с мягкими снежинками, а пурга со снежной кбрупой, которая больно бьёт в лицо и руки. Когда не видно неба и земли. Через 5 часов ломается один из 3 трэколов. И водители в течение 3 часов под обжигающим ледяным ветром её ремонтируют.
Дорога в арктическую тундру. Долгая, сложная и местами опасная. Но она и стала важной частью нашего приключения. Наверное за эти 15 часов в пути, по полному бездорожью понимаешь, что такое настоящий дикий Север.
Уставшие, мы встретили рассвет 🌅 на месте нашего дальнейшего пребывания - в стойбище оленеводов. И расстелив по-быстрому спальники, заснули все как убитые. А утром началась адаптация к местной жизни, погоде, еде, иногда очень сильному ветру 💨 , метелям и яркому солнцу ☀️.
Оленина и рыба 🐟 были основными нашими продуктами. И конечно чай ☕️ и что покрепче 😉🥃 Наши повара Лёня и Оля кормили нас очень вкусно! Через день мы были готовы пить из одной кружки и есть одной ложкой. Лишь бы успеть 😂 к обеду или ужину.
Каждый день был расписан. Зимняя рыбалка, забой оленя и проба тёплой крови; разбор и сборка чума, катание на оленях, даже приготовление еды- это отдельная история. Ведь вода в тундре-это снег, который нужно натопить для начала.
Не смотря на позднюю ямальскую весну, было много-много солнца и синего неба! И конечно, белоснежная сказка, которая окружила нас, погрузила всех нас в другой мир!
Это была полная перезагрузка. Без телефонов, без соцсетей, без дресс кода, без каких-либо масок. Только ты и тундра. Только снег и олени . Только наша экспедиция в составе 13 человек и наши гостеприимные ненцы. И никого больше на 260 км. НИ-КО-ГО!
Поэтому каждый из нас стал частью дружной веселой команды.
И поверьте, самый грустный момент был тогда, когда пришла пора уезжать из тундры...
Сейчас принято говорить «выйти из зоны комфорта». Так вот для меня, покидая бесконечную сНежную тундру, я выходила из настоящего душевного комфорта.
Это авантюрное решение поехать на Крайний Север, жить жизнью оленеводов стало самым ярким приключением в моей жизни!
Я счастлива знакомству и дружбе с Алексеем Кольбовым, а для нас просто Мзунгу, организатором нашей экспедиции, который пригласил меня и мою сестру! Спасибо Mzungu Expeditions за всё!
И хочется сказать, до свидания 👋🏻 тундра, спасибо гостеприимный Ямал и надеюсь 🤞🏻 до встречи!
Мечтаю о новых путешествиях и верю, что однажды я обязательно соберу рюкзак 🎒 и снова отправлюсь в путь!
