    Tour without tents. Ascent to Avacha volcano.

    Avacha was formed by a powerful eruption that occurred more than 11,000 years ago, during which the upper part of an older volcano was completely blown off. In its place appeared a caldera with a diameter of several kilometres. Later, a new cone began to grow out of this caldera, which later took the shape we can see today.

    Wake up early and have breakfast. Coming ascending will not be very easy, so it is better to eat well! At 7 o`clock, we will move out. In 1,5 hour we will come to the foothill and settle temporary camp. Having listened our guide`s climbing recommendations, we will start ascent. We will have an average pace for comfort of each participant of the group. If you feel that it is impossible to continue ascending, you will always be able to return to temporary camp. The ascending is not very steep, but long. It usually takes 6-7 hours to get to the top for people of average physical condition.

There will be an amazing panorama view for those, who have not get off the road and overcame all the difficulties of the way.

Fabulous panoramas will be around you, while you are approaching the rocks. Going along the rocks, you will start see birds, putting their bills into the water. They are small tufted puffins, which are catching tasty fish diligently.

  • Day 6

    Helicopter trip

    Option 1: The Valley of the Geysers, Uzon volcano and Nalychevo hot springs

    Valley of geysers is a natural monument of internatonal meaning.The only geyser field in Eurasia. It takes second place in the world according to the number of geysers outlet on the spot. It lies in a deep canyon, in a gorge of which Geyser river runs slowly. Walls of the gorge keep hot water, mud, vapour and numerous gushing springs outlets. Here, on this sanctuary territory, you can observe all diversity of nature, even its most fantastical forms. Climate of central part of Kamchatka and here is different. Many complex biological systems exists here.

    You must walk on special made paths. It is strictly forbidden to step outside from them. Inspectors of the reserve will be next to you during the whole route and tell you about necessary precaution.

    After observing the sights of the Valley we will get into the helicopter and move to the next point - Uzon volcano caldera. This place is a vast hollow with 10 km diameter. The surface is rather flat, you can even think that it is not a volcano. But such volcanic processes as mud cauldrons, acid lakes and hot fumarols will definitely convince you. You must follow safety instructions here as well as in the Vallye of Geysers. Guide will tell you about it. There are many places and things here, which are absolutely different from what they look like. For example, some lakes fill not with water, as you may suggest, but with real acid. During excursion you can run into different animals: brown bears, red foxes and other.

    After walking we move to natural park Nalychevo. Here we will bathe in hot springs and have tasty dinner. Retunt to the hotel by the evening.

    Option 2. To Kuril Lake, Ksudach volcano and Khodutka springs

    Kurilskoye Lake is a protected area that is part of the South Kamchatka Wildlife Refuge. It is a place where you are likely to see a bear with 90% probability. Every year in August the brown masters of these places hurry to come here first, because Kuril Lake is one of the biggest spawning grounds for Kamchatka salmon fish. Hundreds of bears come here at this time to fish. However, all of them are protected by the reserve.

    In the first part of the day we will visit a scientific institution at the mouth of the Ozernaya River. This is the only place through which fish from the ocean come up to the lake, that is why it is so favoured by leopard predators. We will observe the animals in their usual environment. There are always a lot of bears here, big and small, with cubs and alone. If you study their habits, you will notice that each bear has its own catching skills. Some stand on their hind legs and look for prey from afar, while others plunge their whole face into the water and go snorkelling.

    Researchers will tell us about the intricacies of counting the fish that enter the lake, the measures taken to ensure they are not overfished, and the stories that abound each year when your neighbours are brown bears.

    After visiting the Kuril Lake station, we will fly by helicopter to the destroyed caldera of the Ksudach volcano. Here, in one of the craters there is a Hot Lake - we will walk around its shore during the walk. At the end of the excursion we will make one more flight to Khodutsky hot springs, relax in thermal waters heated by the volcano and have lunch in the canteen. A final flight to the airport and transfer to the resort awaits us.
