The Russian North tour
10 days / 9 nights
Price starts from $ 1 860
There are many reasons to take this tour! One of them is charming nature of the Russian north: green wild forests, inner lakes, whales coming close to the islands in summer. The second reason is its rich history: in different times there was a fortress, a monastery, a GULAG – a camp, where prisoners suffered in Stalin’s time. You will see the Monastery with its cathedrals, churches and houses being in harmony with the surrounding nature, travel by boat along channels which were built many centuries ago without machinery usage, you will visit the Botanical garden where peaches, cucumbers and melons were grown (at the Monastery not far from the Polar Circle!). During the trip you will visit the islands: Solovki (Solovetsky Archipelago) and Nikolski Island, Kizhi in Onega lake and Valaam in Ladoga lake, the largest lake in Europe. More >>>
