REINDEER HERDERS
There are several different indigenous reindeer-herding groups in Yakutia, including the Evenki, Dolgans, Yukaghir and Chukchi. Some are semi-nomadic while others are fully nomadic, moving through the taiga and tundra on hand-made, wooden, reindeer-pulled sledges in search of grazing for their herds.
The following four itineraries offer guests the chance to visit reindeer herders and experience this ancient way of life which has changed little over the centuries:
The following four itineraries offer guests the chance to visit reindeer herders and experience this ancient way of life which has changed little over the centuries:
A trip hundreds of kilometres beyond the Arctic Circle to the northernmost part of Yakutia. Guests will live with a family of nomadic Dolgan reindeer herders at their encampment in the tundra
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 horse herders live in log cabins in the forest and travel around on wooden sledges pulled by their animals. The reindeer herders live in a mixture of log cabins and tents, and travel on sledges pulled by reindeer.
2200km overland trip from Yakutsk to Magadan on a dirt track built by gulag prisoners. Visits to well preserved gulag concentration camps, nomadic reindeer herders, horse herders, treks to sacred kisilyakh standing stones, abandoned towns, good chance of spotting bears and more
Epic overland journey in a Russian vakhtovka truck, following a 2000km ice road through some of Siberia's remotest territory
This extreme overland expedition takes participants through the vast Siberian wilderness along ice roads and up into Anabar, the most northern district on mainland Yakutia. You will have the chance to meet indigenous Yakut horse herders, Evenki or Dolgan reindeer herders and visit places that have been seen by very few foreigners
