Description

Type: Multi-day activity
* We are going to the Trans-Baikal Territory, to the valley of the Chara River, where there is a unique natural landscape – the Charsky desert or Charsky sands. And we're going to photograph all this charming Wonder, or just look at it, if you're not a photographer. Imagine the sand dunes against the backdrop of the snow-capped mountains of the Kodar range. Here they are side by side, nearby and seem to contrast with each other, but on the other hand they complement each other so much that it remains only to wait for good light and condition to capture a photographic masterpiece. Sometimes the Charsky sands are called the northernmost desert in the world. Kodar is really beautiful. And there is also extensive ice nearby, at least during our photo tour, it definitely won't melt yet. And it is also quite a worthy photographic object. You will need to live in tents at the base, and this also stops many people. But this has its advantage for us, there won't be so many extra people. In fact, this is a real hike, or an expedition, whatever you want to call it. That is, the comfort level is minimal. We will be taken to our base by a marsh walker. But then the marching conditions will begin. We'll live in tents, cook over a campfire, and we won't have a shower. It is relatively close to go to the shooting and only with the necessary set of photographic equipment. If you're not a photographer, you'll just walk around, but don't trample the dunes too much. In general, there is nothing complicated here. We recommend combining an airplane and a train in logistics. But here everyone has to evaluate their own capabilities over time, and it also depends on which part of the country you have to travel from. Conditions of medium difficulty. It all depends on the weather. But at this time, frosts are possible at night up to minus 5 or even slightly lower.
