Day 1. Welcome to Salekhard – severe capital of Yamal! - Today we will meet with Salekhard – the only city in the world located right at the Polar Circle. - We will visit Obdorskiy Ostrog – a recreated copy of fortress that was built here in 1595 and became a parent of today’s Salekhard, and now it is built right at its historical location. Then we will visit monument dedicated to “Romantics of 70’th”. Day 2. Reindeer Herders Festival – the main event of the year for Yamal nomads - The festival begins! This day will become one of the most vivid impressions for you during this trip! Today we will see all most important things of Khanty and Nenets people life. Someone meets with good friends, somebody shows their new kids that were born during this year, somebody is looking for a wife (or husdband for his daughter). Day 3. One day in reindeer herders camp (stoybische) to feel life of Nenets and Khanty - Today we will have opportunity to feel how these people who invited us to their home live their everyday life. In the early morning we are moving to the pasture of main herd of reindeers. We will watch there how herders work with reindeers, we will pat and feed reindeers, ride reindeer sleigh and try to catch them with “tynzyan” (lasso). By request of the group we can order slaughter of reindeer and watch how Nenets eat traditional food “Nyar Nekh” – raw fresh meat with blood. Day 4. Farewell hugs! - Today we are leaving back home to civilization, soft beds, hot shower and regular life. However, the small part of Russian North will stay in our hearts forever after this adventure. - Just be prepared for long goodbyes, laughing, tears and promices that all of us will meet each other again in Russia, in your country or somewhere far at the other side of the world!
