Ethnographic tours to the north in Naryan-Mar

Do you like to travel and discover new corners of our country? Do you think that a real vacation is an opportunity not only to change the situation, relax, but also to gain new knowledge at the same time? Then ethnographic tours are exactly what you need! Ethnographic tours to the north in Naryan-Mar.

What is an ethnographic tour?

This is one of the areas of tourism. At the heart of such a trip is a visit to historical and memorable places of any region. During the trip, the program includes not only introductory excursions, but also participation in various folklore events, tasting of national cuisine, studying folk crafts, ancient customs and much more. Ethnographic tours allow you to literally immerse yourself in another world, often dramatically different from the usual one.

And if you want to get into the mysterious and little-studied world to try to unravel its secrets, I invite you to the north! Namely, to Nenets Autonomous Area.

Oh, this is the real north! After all, it is located outside the Arctic Circle. Trips to the north of Russia are still gaining popularity among tourists, but this is their charm—there is no pandemonium of people. But it is much more accessible than it seems to many people. In the modern world, the Nenets Autonomous Area and its capital, the city of Naryan—Mar, can be reached very quickly. Just 2. 5 hours by plane from Moscow, and you already get into our northern fairy tale.

What is the attraction of the north for travelers:

• there is a truly unique nature here. The boundless tundra beckons with its expanses;
• there is practically no civilization in these parts. Nature is untouched, because there are no trails trodden by tourists. As many years ago, it is necessary to adapt to nature here. The pristine appearance of this northern region is preserved precisely thanks to this way of life of people (both locals and vacationers);
• ethnographic tours to the north help to learn a lot of new things, get acquainted with the way of life and traditions.

Why do I call the north a fairy tale?

Our region is famous for stories and riddles. Almost every locality has a legend associated with it. And we still don't know exactly all the secrets hidden here. There are mysterious Places of Power here. Visiting them helps people to improve their health, restore peace of mind. And there are places where, according to legend, you can make a wish (but necessarily from the heart) and it will come true. For example, the Idol of Desires—and I will show it to you.

One of the interesting discoveries that was made by the locals completely by accident. And then scientists explored this place, discovering that in the place where the Ortina River flows into the Pechora, there was once a large settlement of ancient people-Sikhirtya. They were mainly engaged in gathering and fishing, rarely hunting. Legend has it that they went to the underground world of the first floor, but from time to time they come to the ground. It also happens that they are seen. I haven't seen them personally, but I've talked to them (they are telepaths).

Another interesting place here is Mount Mokhnatka. There are many interesting and inexplicable moments in its vicinity. Tourists willingly visit these places.

All these interesting and mysterious places are located near the Hanaway Xia recreation center. Coming to visit me at the base, you will visit everywhere I have been. I will share with you my knowledge about this region. The only disadvantage of ethnographic tours in Naryan-Mar is that not the whole district is available for visiting. Weather conditions and lack of infrastructure often change plans for events. In addition to interesting trips, we can organize hunting, fishing, rafting on the northern rivers, visits to camps and much more.
