A route for travelers who want to see the north of Krasnoyarsk Krai in a realistic and safe way. The main logistics go through Norilsk and a helicopter transfer to a lake base camp. The program accounts for fog, wind and delays, so it includes weather buffers and does not promise long hikes every day.
