- Locations: the coast of the Barents Sea from the village of Teriberka, the coast and hills of the White Sea on the Tersky coast.
- Meals: we cook unusually delicious, almost restaurant-style trekking food on Kovea Booster petrol stoves.
Summer and autumn routes (June - September)
The period of the polar day and golden autumn. The time when the tundra blooms, and whales and Greenland seals come to the ocean.
- Teriberka and Granitny: Unique routes along the coast of the Arctic Ocean. Steep cliffs, sea expanses, tundra hills, sand and stone beaches of «dragon eggs».
- Rybachy Peninsula: The northernmost point of the European part of Russia. Epic landscapes and plateau-like tundra, where you can meet reindeer and see the power of the ocean surf.

Reviews
The landscapes and views are breathtaking to the core and even further!
You look in one direction, there the tundra begins to shimmer with colorful hues, look the other way — endless sea, even an ocean with its inhabitants (seal pups, cetaceans will accompany almost the entire journey).
I consider this route one of the best in terms of effort and beauty seen.
The trek itself is very conveniently organized, with accommodation on the first and last days. Comfortable transfer. Special thanks for the good varied food on the route!
All stops are in very beautiful places, although it's hard to find anything ugly there.
I want to highlight that Pavel not only leads the way, but also tells about these places from a geographical, historical, and even ethnographic point of view! Great thanks for these stories, it was very interesting!
I highly recommend this trek to fall in love with the Kola Peninsula for a lifetime!

Thank you and Anya for organizing this event)
It's very cool that someone is now doing the 'everyone goes with their own' format. This makes both the price better and the group composition more experienced and interesting somehow) It's very cool that everything is up-to-date and modern, without sitting around with a guitar and drinks))))
Thank you for your love for your work and professionalism in it, that's worth a lot. And of course, for long conversations about gear)))
And special thanks for the motivation with your example to go further, more, stronger)
We will be waiting for more trips, especially winter ones. If you start leading them, I think it will be awesome, no one is doing this now))
We will definitely recommend you to friends who are interested in the North)
There's nothing to write about the downsides. Well, maybe subjectively, the portions of food are too big)))))

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!

I was planning a harsh hike through the mountain tundra, but in fact I lived this week in incredible care, as if I had a chicken under my wing, and in the stunning beauty around me.
The tundra turned out to be an incredible place. It would seem that there is a basic set of plants, mosses, lichens, rocks, lakes and streams, but behind each hill a new breathtaking view was waiting for me. And also the sea.
At some point, I caught myself thinking that I was almost running with a big backpack to see what was next. For the whole time that February has been going on, for the first time I was able to exhale to the end and even got tired of smiling.
I am very grateful to the wonderful Pavel Rudenko and Anna Migalina for this fairy tale and their care, as well as for their professionalism. You guys are the best! Rumor has it that Pasha still has places for other trips this summer - guys, don't miss your chance)

Having once attended Pavel's lecture, it became immediately clear — this is a competent guy, with whom one can go to the ends of the earth. The School of Tourism confirmed this, so when I saw the story about recruiting a group for the hike in winter, my summer plans became clear and specific)
I was very glad to meet the second guide Anna, to find myself in her caring and gentle hands, which fed us very tasty)
I was impressed by the personal approach to each participant, the preliminary call, information on how and when it's better to get there, answers to all possible and sometimes stupid and silly questions, help and support in any situation, a useful cheat sheet for girls about trekking subtleties.
What's nice is that there was no strict timing and жёстких conditions on when and how much to walk, we adjusted the route a couple of times to enjoy and savor the atmosphere more)
Special thanks for the pace of the march, it was such that there was no need to run and break through the tundra like a reindeer, but to walk at a pleasant pace and still have time to look around and admire the hilly expanses. The group was always together and did not separate during the march.
As for the organization — everything is clear, thoughtful and provided for. Nice little things — bars for snacks, encouraging candies on the ascent to the hill, souvenirs to remember at the end of the trek, and always a smile and positivity)
Thanks to Pavel and Anna for the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the tundra, to step away from ordinary life and immerse yourself in Arctic Zen, to enjoy the harsh, gloomy, but incredibly soul-stirring landscapes of moss, stones, lichen and crystal clear lakes. To breathe in the sea breeze, to immerse yourself in the mist of fog and to bask in the constant unsetting sun of the North. This adventure will be remembered by me for a long time with warmth and love.

The trek across the Kola Peninsula left incredible impressions and became a real adventure that will remain a warm memory in my heart. Each morning began with beautiful views of picturesque landscapes, and the days were filled with pleasant conversations with new friends.
The special delight is, of course, the delicious food, which we 'fueled' daily with kilograms of fresh blueberries, lingonberries, and cowberries. Berries on the Kola are an irresistible temptation.
We studied the tracks of various animals — a fascinating part of the journey. I admit, at first it was a bit scary, despite the fact that I am an avid hiker. However, interest and complete confidence in safety prevailed — sometimes I even wanted to see a bear, at least from afar.
But we got to know the unique fauna of the White Sea: we watched seals, found starfish, listened to incredible stories from Pasha — in short, we felt the full depth of this amazing world called the Kola.
The nights were especially magical: we admired the starry sky and, of course, caught the northern lights. We even ran out of the tents in our 'pajamas' to capture this incredible atmospheric phenomenon.
I want to thank the people with whom I spent a week almost at the edge of the Earth, and Pasha Rudenko, the guide, who created an atmosphere of coziness and friendliness throughout the route. His care, professionalism, and positivity made our trip safe and comfortable.
It's very, very sad that everything ended so quickly — there is a huge desire to walk again in the amazing places of the Kola.

I was on the tour Daliye Zelentsy - Hike to the Edge of the Earth with Pavel and Ilya in June 2025.
The tour program was very comfortably planned. The hotel on the first and last day of the tour helps to buy missing items, relax after the road and get ready for the trip. All the stops had magnificent views! The guides cooked the food and it was very tasty and varied.
On the route, we were told about the history of the area where we passed, it was very interesting and informative. During the movement, there were always stops for rest and time to take photos for memory! The guides were always ready to help and answer any questions, advised on backpack settings and gear (that's great). The issued tent met all the requirements for this area.
I came to the Kola Peninsula for the views, silence, sea and horizon, and the excellent work of the guides helped me get all this and even more.
Thank you so much!

This trek became a real challenge for me and at the same time an unforgettable adventure. It was the longest I've ever done, and thanks to that, I gained a lot of valuable impressions and experience. The tundra turned out to be challenging and harsh, requiring endurance and patience, but it's in such conditions that you feel truly alive. The organization of the trek was top-notch — everything was thought out to the smallest detail: routes, food, safety. I especially want to note the excellent catering — the food was delicious and hearty, which is very important on long treks. The nature in the tundra is stunning — these views will remain in my memory for a long time. I recommend the trek to all adventure lovers with good physical preparation — the tundra is worth it!

A reliable companion at the edge of the world — for a moment I wondered what or who I wanted to describe like this: the sun that didn't set for ten days above our heads, or Pasha, who came up with, thought through, explored and leads this powerful trek to the heart of the tundra, winds and sea — 'Granitny'.
It wasn't easy, but interesting — the weather, terrain, views, wind, sea, animals and birds on the horizon changed every day. Has everyone in life had the chance to walk from Murmansk to Teriberka through the tundra and coast? And if you're thinking about such a trek right now, then I recommend going, because... the tundra loves us)
Despite the diverse terrain, there are no difficult places to pass on the route. There's plenty of clean water, secluded bays, rivers, streams, and lakes. I've never seen so many lakes in a day — I think we came across 15-20 lakes a day.
The route is quite demanding on equipment, endurance and sensitive to the weight of the backpack. But Pasha's and Ilya's (he was the second guide) attention and care support, and the legs just keep going forward — a few more hills.
For the story of nature and life on the Kola, and beautiful photos from Rudenko — go ahead to Granitny!

The hike to Rybachy was amazing!!!
Being so close to nature, I forgot about everything in the world! My mind and body were completely cleansed. Salmon were rising in the rivers, whales and seals were swimming in the sea, and reindeer were running next to us.
On the horizon, there was an endless sea and a fiery sunset, watched over by submarines. The weather, in my opinion, brought many new sensations and challenges! My face managed to get a tan, and my membranes were tested 100%. Beaches and boulders, blueberry fields and the sound of the sea.
Everything is great!!!
Thank you so much for the organization and for what you and Anna do with soul and love for people and the Kola Peninsula.
