This part of the web-site contains pictures from my hiking\/rafting trip to Siberia in August 2001.\u00a0 We rafted a river called Zun-Murin.\u00a0 This a very remote river\u00a0 which runs in Southern Siberia, South to North, starting in the mountains on the border between Russia and Mongolia, ending up in another Siberian river, which eventually ends up in the Arctic Ocean.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We had a group of 15 people, all of them from Russia, except me.\u00a0 There were four leaders: Ilya, Sasha, Volodja, and Refat, who are all very experienced rafters.\u00a0 The other people were for the most part friends who knew each other before the trip: Tania and Kirill, Katya, Svetlana, Max and Anna, Misha, Alexei and Julia, Max and myself.\u00a0 I had met a few of them before on a previous camping trip in Siberia, so it was great to see them again.\u00a0 I don’t speak any Russian, but between the English that some of them speak and the efforts to translate specifically for me, I didn’t have a problem communicating.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The starting point of the rafting is so remote that it is not accessible by road.\u00a0 Consequently, we had motorized transportation as far as we could get it, and from there went on a four-day hike to the starting point.\u00a0 Of course we had to carry all supplies and equipment for that whole way.\u00a0 Equipment includes the rafts (disassembled!) – so for this part we hired horses to help carry the equipment.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
