Arctic Expeditions with Pavel Rudenko

The desire to expand the hiking season has led to winter tourism. And that's how it turned out, and the promised beauty exceeded all expectations.

Firstly, you will not be able to enjoy stunning views from such angles as standing in the middle of a bay of the White Sea, a forest lake or a swamp in any other case.

Secondly, it was a trip to childhood with its fabulous winter forest - snow-covered fir trees, frosted pines, the crunch of young snow under skis and all that lamp-like.

Winter camping turned out to be not at all as scary as it is painted) The team was well-matched - the concentration of laughter in the common tent, and for the rest of the time, has not been seen for a long time))

The annoying thing is that skiing is not like other physical activities that may be personally present in my life. And there opened such an interesting portal into the Universe of unfamiliar muscles in the legs)) But after a couple of weeks, this last one was forgotten, and what started at the beginning took over completely. And I already have solid plans for the coming winter season in my head.

About the guides. Sanya, we would have starved to death without you, we wouldn't have been inspired to stretch, and we would have been lost there! And of course, many thanks to my dear friend Pasha Rudenko, who promoted, patiently helped in the preparation and conducted this campaign at his standard ideal level!

Go skiing, you will enjoy it!

A beautiful route that I would hardly ever take on my own. I would like to note the comfortable pace of movement and good places for camping. But for me, the most important thing is that this trip left яркие, positive, long-lasting memories. The guides and participants were extremely interesting, diverse and pleasant to communicate with. 

I am extremely grateful for the organization of this trek.

I really hope that the stars will align again and we will go somewhere.

I want to thank you once again for our awesome trek! Looking back at the past 9 days, my heart feels very warm. Your passion for your work, complete dedication, and sincere involvement with each participant are truly admirable.

Pash, special thanks for your sensitivity and ability to see and support at the right moment — it's very valuable.
I especially enjoyed the people who go with you: warm, open, positive, with whom you want to stay in touch.

Thank you for making such wonderful moments possible!

What can I say about the beaches of the Arctic Ocean? They're Amazing.
What can I say about the Mountain Tundra? She's Magical. 

This is the fourth time I've been to these places, they respond as my place. I've been here in a storm, all the hiking week and sunny days, and for me these places are infinitely beautiful.

This trip was also wonderful by our organizers Pavel and Anya. It is very pleasant to walk with people who share a love for these places. And I will say from experience, Pavel and Anya are invaluable organizers because their experience is not based on rumors and popular rumor, they know what they are saying and what they are talking about.

 Thank you so much for a great hike!

Hiking with Pavel is something unimaginable!!!

For me, this was the first serious hike, and to say that everything went super great is simply not saying anything.

From the very beginning of communication, Pavel shows complete interest in your well-being. Enjoyment from the hike every minute. Calls, consultations, promo codes, it's great! Then everything happens as if by magic of a magic wand) Once, and you're already on a magical carpet of berries and moss!

You set up a tent and admire the sunset overlooking the river flowing into the ocean! The variety of beauty and views is overwhelming! I would like to note Anna, his wife, she created coziness and delight from dinner every evening.

The tundra is beautiful in its own way! It must be seen, it must be felt, you must be there! An excellent itinerary, interesting and informative stories, stunning views and a great mood - that's what accompanied me all the time on the hike. The reward is the northern lights and a great team, unforgettable experiences and complete delight.

Many thanks to a very interesting person who was able to organize such an event, thanks to Pavel!

Rybachiy conquered with its severity and beauty!
Nine days among wild cliffs and endless beaches, next to reindeer and whales, at the very edge of the country. A real northern fairy tale! 

The weather tested us with winds and rain, we got wet and cold, but warmed up together in the tent and ate the most delicious hiking food. We picked blueberries and cloudberries by the handful. There were knee-deep wades, a stormy sea, and lots of laughter.

This hike will remain in my heart for a long time.

I have long wanted to visit the Rybachy Peninsula, and finally succeeded in a 10-day hike with Pavel Rudenko and Anna Migalina at the end of August.

Unlike most, or rather all, offers, hiking is on foot, and this is its difference and advantage. Walking around almost the entire peninsula with your feet as part of an organized group is a great pleasure.

You can taste all the delights of the beautiful and unpredictable nature of the peninsula. In general, unpredictability and diversity are probably the main feature of Fishing. For example, the forecast promises you that the weather will be fine in the morning without rain, and in the morning there will be wind up to 15 m/s and rain, and it will be like this all day. And the next day you have already put on a membrane in anticipation of bad weather, and Rybachy will give you the sun, 20 degrees of heat and two rainbows.

It's the same with nature, today you have rocks and whales in the sea, tomorrow you have apocalyptic pictures of uplifted volcanic rock, and the day after tomorrow you will be greeted by a completely idyllic picture with wide beaches, hills and deer, of which there are quite a lot on the peninsula.

Separately, it is worth mentioning the number of blueberries, blueberries, cloudberries and mushrooms. There are an unimaginable number of them. Berry fields are insurmountable obstacles that are simply impossible to pass through, and these fields are very common. By the way, if they tell you that there are no berries on the northern shore, don't believe it.)) It seemed to me that there were just the most of them.

In short, the trip was a success, there are a lot of impressions and I want to come back again. I would like to express my gratitude to Pavel and Anna for the excellent organization and atmosphere of the hike, the cozy gatherings in the red tent, the attention to each participant of the hike in any aspect, and of course the food.

In general, the food on Pavel and Anna's hikes is worthy of a separate story, but instead I will encourage you to go camping with them and get a lot of fun and positivity.

The beauty of nature is incredible: crimson forest, endless White Sea, and crazy sunsets. The route was not difficult, the food was so diverse that I didn't want anything after returning) The tent is a cool tool that can withstand any weather) I'll be back again)

A trek to the Rybachy Peninsula, the realm of the reindeer.

When I heard that Pasha Rudenko's program included a trek to the Rybachy Peninsula, I immediately applied, as it had been my dream to visit this place for a long time, and now it came true.

Rybachy is a peninsula in the Kola North, with the Motovsky Bay on one side and the open sea on the other. The trek was very intense and long, we covered a decent distance, but on the way we managed to enjoy the views of this place, eat plenty of berries, the campsites were always in the most picturesque places, and despite the rain, which was quite a lot, we got unforgettable emotions from this place and from the trek in general.

Everything was organized as always at the highest level, from the hotel to the food during the trek, everything was excellent. On the trek, we experienced all the прелести of nature, from light rain to a real storm with wind that knocks you down, but we did not lose heart and completed the trek in one breath.

Thank you, Pasha and Anya, for this amazing trek
