HORSE HERDERS

The traditional way of life of the indigenous Yakut people is horse herding. They have their own special breed of horses: short, fat and with shaggy hair up to a metre long which helps them to survive temperatures in the -60s centigrade.

The following itineraries offer guests the chance to experience this ancient way of life:
This trip includes visits to indigenous horse herders, woolly mammoth graveyards with guaranteed finds of mammoth remains, trekking to the sacred kisilyakh rock pillars, visiting one of Arctic Siberia's largest sinkholes, an extremely well preserved gulag concentration camp and more
This trip takes travellers to two different ethnic groups – indigenous yakut horse herders in Khangalasskiy district of Yakutia and indigenous evenki reindeer herders in Aldanskiy district.

The reindeer herders live in a mixture of log cabins and tents, and travel on sledges pulled by reindeer.
