Short Northern Summer is coming soon. High time to get a touch to pristine Natural beauty of Nothern Ural mountains. Best way to reach the destination is rafting down the Northern Ural rivers such as Ilych , Shchuger or many others tributaries of Great Pechora river. Ilych river is one of wonderful  pearls of Pechora basin.  It runs along the ' Pechora-Ilych Reserve 'and forms its western border. Rafting down the river one can get to 7 Stone Idols (Weathered columns on the Man-Pupu-Ner plateau) known as one of 7 Wonders of Russia. About 20 miles hike is separated this magic place from a camp on the Ilych river.
Everyone may discover many interesting things in the region : the unique ecosystems, migrating birds , wild life scenary, Paleozoic rocks exposures ...
Yet , simply to take a breath of clear air and to taste crystal clear water coming from surround mountain glaciers will be of great use for one's health .
So, come and join us meeting White Nights in the Ural this forthcoming Summer !
