hiking in Kamchatka, Russia

June 11th, 2007 · No Comments

There are certainly fantastic treks and volcano climbs on volcanic Kamchatka Peninsula.

Climbing climbing Koryaksky (3456m) is quite doable, for example.

You can find a number of trekking guides with Google. But are they reliable?

But we’ve not yet talked to anyone who’s hiked there. (Leave a comment below this post if you have more information on Kamchatka.)

In the meantime, check some photos from Dark Roast Blend.

Wilderness without bounds, in a typical Russian style.

There is a place in the world so remote and so wildly beautiful, that very few decide to go there and those who do, carry the enchantment for the rest of their lives. Land of towering volcanos and magnificient Pacific coastline, as boundless and pristine as the Canadian North, but far less known and definitely less travelled. Life is harsh there, and ghosts of communist past are never too far behind.

With the exclusive permission of “Kamtravel” - Kamchatka photography site, we give you some examples of its exhilarating terrain:
