TOURS TO THE CITIES OF RUSSIA

RUSSIAN FAR EAST

PRIMORSKY KRAY

SIGHTSEEING

We invite you on a tour to Khasan County, which is located in the extreme south of Primorsky Kray where the Russian, Chinese and North Korean borders converge. This unique county is one of the most interesting and beautiful places in Northeast Asia. Its primordial nature includes mountain reliefs, picturesque landscapes, wetlands, and a jagged coastline with a great number of splendid bays, beaches and lagoons, all of which make it an ideal spot for ecotourists and scuba divers.

Kedrovaya Pad' Reserve, Russia's oldest nature reserve, is one of Khasan's wonders and part of the last remaining habitat of the Far Eastern Leopard. The county's highlights are Khasan Nature Park with its unique wetlands, deer farm, salmon farm, and Gamov Cape and Lighthouse. Horseback riding, scuba diving, boat excursions, fishing - all this will make your trip unforgettable.

You'll explore Northern Primorye, studying the Central Sikhote-Alin Mountains' flora and fauna. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, this unique region is one of the few places on Earth where Nature is kept in its pristine form. Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Nature Reserve is situated here, comprising the area of under a half a million hectares. Though home to many formidable animal species, the untamed wilderness is ruled by just one - Siberian Tiger. Scientists from Hornocker Wildlife Institute (Idaho, USA) work here with Russian colleagues on the Siberian Tiger Project. Radiotracking with Project participants, patrolling with Tiger Inspection, and hiking with wildlife biologists will help you to discover the Tigerland.

Discover Lazovsky Nature Reserve. This is an excellent chance to see:

Elomov Waterfalls, one of the most beautiful spots in all of Primorye;
Petrov Island, home to the ancient Yew Tree and natural botanical gardens;
long sandy beaches of the Sea of Japan and medicinal hot springs;
the ridges of the Sikhote-Alin Mountain Range, one of the most breathtaking sites in the Russian Far East.

We take you to Russia's only marine reserve, which is unique in its beauty and bio-diversity. The reserve is a picturesque blend of islands and coastline, wind-carved cliffs, sandy beaches, striking geological sculptures, subtropical forests and inland waterways. The islands and cliffs are home to Larga seal rookeries and marine bird colonies. The reserve's waters abound in highly varied marine life and feature underwater rocks, banks and reefs covered with an almost continuous «living carpet.» Among the underwater life you can see are the giant octopus, Kamchatka king crab, starfish, sea urchins and sea cucumbers. Breathtaking landscapes and views, crystal-clear water and a ring of islands: You'll find your tour of Russia's only marine reserve an unforgettable experience!

Unique forests and highland landscapes with a wide range of animal and plant species a dd to the area's appeal. Arkhipovka Village is located in the heart of the Southern Sikhote -Alin near the Ussuri River.
