Elnar Mansurov - about how not to fall into the hands of the police, why a bear and where to find a visa-free analogue of Iceland

Probably everyone has seen photos of a guy with a bear head who travels around the world. By the age of 29, Elnar Mansurov had already traveled to about 70 countries, opened his own travel agency and organized several expeditions for those who also passionately love to travel. Oil visited a meeting with a famous Permian traveler.

Elnar said:

Why did he choose a bear mask and does he wear it all the time.
Where and how to look cheap tickets and why about bargain purchase better not to tell anyone.
What not to save on when preparing for a trip.
Where to find a visa-free and budget analogue of Iceland.

How did the story of the bear's head begin?

It all started back in 2007: I was looking for cheap tickets to go to Prague from Perm. Then the airline "KD avia" was just launching a new flight in Western Europe and so the tickets were quite cheap. The ticket cost me somewhere between 100-200 rubles for a one-way flight. There were five people on the plane at the time. Then I transferred to the Department of Tourism, delved into the topic low cost airlines and eventually defended a diploma in business models of low-cost airlines. After some time, I founded a company that helps travelers plan their trip: we deal with visa issues. Then came the site instagram blog.

He came up with the very idea of ​​a polar bear as an alternative to the Perm coat of arms: a brown bear is depicted there. At first it was the logo of the site, and then the head appeared.

Where did you buy it and where did you go with it for the first time?

I ordered a head from a puppet maker. You can see through it, but only through the nose. In general, I'm in it only for photography and video. It seems that the first region where I went with her was Valencia. We can say that these were Spain and Italy. People, by the way, are suitable to be photographed, especially children and especially in Asia.

“I always had a dream - to take my mother to the sea, because she has never been there”

How do you find cheap plane tickets?

I usually compare the cost of tickets, for example, with a flight from Perm with tickets from Yekaterinburg. It is often much more profitable to fly from neighboring cities and it is easier to spend several hours on the road to Yekaterinburg or another nearby city than to overpay several thousand rubles. I always advise you to subscribe to mailing lists from airlines, to sites that track cheap tickets and sales. I think, for starters, you can subscribe to the mailing list of the largest companies, such as Aeroflot, S7, UTair, to the vandrouki.ru website and, together with them, look for offers that are convenient for you. Some companies arrange sales: for example, Air Baltic often has sales for some destinations, Air Berlin has a promotion for Valentine's Day, when you can buy one ticket and get the second as a gift. It also has its own tricks. It happens that the airline's booking system fails, because of this, tickets are sold at very high prices. low prices. The main thing here is to buy a ticket and not tell anyone about it. After this information about erroneous fares gets into the network, cheap tickets are immediately sold out, and the airline corrects the error and can cancel the tickets. If one or two people bought such a ticket, then there are more chances that no one will notice the problem.

You always have beautiful pictures in the blog. Tell me what are you filming?

On the camera, on the iPhone. Now I have another quadrocopter, I also shoot on it. Sometimes I take a GoPro with me. In fact, after trips, there are a lot of photos left, rarely where I use them and post them in full.

You still make videos while you travel. Do you install yourself?

In most cases, no. I do not want to waste time on this, so I give it to my friends who are involved in the installation. It’s more convenient for me to explain what I want to get, and they are already professionally engaged in arranging the video into a full-fledged video. All videos take no more than one and a half minutes. I think it's much more convenient than watching a 40-minute video report of the trip. It seems to me that in a minute you can tell a lot through a video.

How does your family feel about your frequent trips?

Of course, my parents worry about me, mainly because I fly a lot (about 80 flights a year). In general, they support me and have a positive attitude towards all trips.

Expedition Mishka.Travel to Norway

Did they start traveling more after you became a "professional traveler"?

Oh sure! I always had a dream - to take my mother to the sea, because she had never been there. The first thing I did when I earned a certain amount of money, I gave my parents a ticket to Egypt. I think every person in his life should see the sea!

Do you travel alone or with friends more?

I have like-minded people with whom we constantly travel for seven or eight years. In addition, I travel with my wife. I travel alone very rarely, only if these are some exotic destinations.

Has the high exchange rate affected your travels in any way?

No, I just began to travel a little differently, reduced expenses a little, began to choose those directions where I had not yet been. In December, for example, I went to Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan. It's cheap, very beautiful nature, the beauty of the country is not inferior to Scandinavia. So if you want to see Iceland, then you can go to Kyrgyzstan, this is a much more budget option.

And what countries did you return to again and again?

IN THE USA. My friends and I traveled around California, Arizona. I really like Iceland, some people think why go there if there is Kamchatka. I agree, but Iceland has better roads and more accessible nature: you can travel just by renting a car. And in Kamchatka you usually watch everything from a helicopter. I would like Russia to have such an infrastructure.

Many tourists come to your hometown Permian?

No, earlier the administration's policy was aimed at turning Perm into a kind of cultural capital Ural, to raise the cultural level of the city. There was a "cultural revolution", then many people came from neighboring cities. Every day there was some kind of festival (film festivals, theater festivals, White Nights, Directing Space, KAMWA), good music groups performed on the street for free. For example, you come home from work and Manu Chao, a French musician of Spanish origin, performs on the street. His music is a synthesis of rock and Latin American music. Or Tricky, a British trip-hop musician. It was a time when the youth did not want to leave Perm, everyone stayed. But after the change of governor, the priorities changed a little, and now such events are not held. Unfortunately, there are few tourists in Perm. Mostly now they come for rafting and to the Kungur cave.

Top countries with visa-free regime

1. Argentina;
2. Brazil;
3. Montenegro;
4. CIS countries (Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia).

Usually everywhere you can find someone to fly with. I am looking on the Internet for people or companies that do this. But, for example, on Faroe Islands helicopters - public transport, you are taken to the island by helicopter and taken back. Mostly I just buy a ticket for 40-minute excursions. Now I have a quadrocopter, I think I will fly less - I will start to launch it.

What do you think about guidebooks? Do you use them yourself?

The only travel guide I like is Lonely Planet. It is convenient because with its help you can quickly get acquainted with the country, with the main attractions. You should not completely trust him in terms of food or housing, but there is a lot of information about the history, culture of the city or country, some geographical data. I even collect them, I have quite a few of these books.

Are you traveling in a motorhome or hitchhiking?

I used to - yes, I even stayed with people through CouchSurfing, but now I have moved away from this. I prefer flights and accommodation in a hotel, apartment or house. When we go on an expedition, we rent a big house. This is convenient, since the more people, the less everyone needs to pay rent. Once there was a curious incident. I contacted the person through airbnb service, he gave me the key to get into the apartment. It was night, I started to open the door in the house, but it did not open. I messed around with her for a while, and at some point the police broke into the house. I didn't understand at all what was going on. As a result, it turned out that one of the neighbors mistook me for a thief, thought that I was trying to open someone else's apartment and called the police. But in the end I explained everything and everything ended well.

"Every person in his life should see the sea"

Do you usually gather a lot of people in an expedition group?

We with our agency think over the route ourselves, interesting places that must be visited. Everything is scheduled literally by day, where we will go, what we will see. This is more convenient for people than if they themselves were looking for all this information. The price usually includes accommodation, car rental (shared by all), transfer from one city to another, guide services, car rental. This does not include airfare, visa, insurance, food, and expenses for visiting attractions. Usually in a group of 8-15 people. If you are traveling with our expedition, then you save your time in the first place.

Do you think you have followers?

I think yes! Recently, in Sochi, a guy ordered a leopard head from the same puppet master. He is a fan of HC Sochi, where the club's symbol is a leopard.

Do you have travel idols that you follow online?

I follow the blog of Ilya Varlamov, he traveled to Somalia, Djibouti, Pakistan, Afghanistan, read his posts about these travels. And I follow others, but as a rule they often change, I find something new, I unsubscribe from old ones, I can’t say specific names.

Tell me, how do you overcome the language barrier when communicating abroad?

For some reason everyone thinks that I am a polyglot, but no, I only know English language Yes, even at the school level. This is enough to communicate with foreigners, there are English speakers almost everywhere, so there are no problems.

What advice would you give to beginner travelers or those who have never traveled abroad?

I guess if you want to do big Adventure, then you need only two visas - American and Schengen. There are too many problems with the British one: you need to confirm the presence of a permanent job, a source of income, collect more documents than for the Schengen, besides, the Schengen can be made for any country and ride with it all over Europe. The easiest way to give visas to Russians is Spain, Italy, France. To visit some regions, you need an additional visa, for example, when entering Greenland, there may be problems with the Schengen visa - you will need a Greenland visa.

Elnar Mansurov from Perm owns a cafe, shares the secrets of organizing independent budget travel on his website Mishka.Travel, and most importantly… he travels the world with a polar bear mask on his head. “The bear and I visited such exotic places as the polar archipelago of Svalbard, closed areas North Korea and mysterious Japan. This summer I made an expedition through Alaska, Greenland, the Faro Islands and Iceland, - says Elnar. I am a person who has devoted his whole life to traveling. I share with my readers tips on how to travel cheaper, easier and more interesting.”

Hereinafter, the author's comments: “I saw how my friends put up photos from the March trip from the winter Baikal, I got nostalgic and remembered that I didn’t show you all the photos. It is a pity that this year we have an expedition to Antarctica on the same dates, and you will definitely go at least for a couple of days, for which you need to monitor sales from airlines in Irkutsk. You will not regret".

“We have snow in the Urals today. If there were hot springs, like in Japan, we could take the same photo :)”

“The main entertainment that is offered in Dubrovnik at every turn is kayaking. Three-hour walk along the coast and to the island of Lokrum under scorching sun with sandwiches and drinks will cost around 30 € (200 kn) per person. Boat options are endless - glass bottom boats, singles, doubles, etc. Life hack: on Banje beach there are hour trips on the same kayaks, but without food and drinks for 6 € per person.

“It is a pity that all military, political, religious and other conflicts also hit tourism hard. There is a visa in the passport Arab countries? Get ready at the Israeli border for a warm welcome. Have you traveled to Nagorno-Karabakh? At the border, Azerbaijanis are deported back home. Get into the mysterious Saudi Arabia it is almost impossible for an ordinary tourist, unless you are a Muslim and go for Hajj. And how many beautiful mysterious places, to which access is closed (Turkmenistan), you can get only by tour (DPRK) or where the number of people is limited (a number national parks in the USA or Tibet). And somewhere just fighting is going on (in Yemen, for example). Yes, why go far for an example, I have been dreaming of getting to Bukovel and Odessa for a long time, but I don’t want to take risks at the border with the roulette “let them in - they won’t let me in”. Pictured is a bear in Yemen. By the way, who will find the cat in the photo?

“Before, I could never build trips in advance, as they depended on unexpected finds on cheap air tickets. But for the next year, I'm already scheduling trips and expeditions. From June 20, there will be two week-long sailing trips from Nuuk to Ilulissat and Disko Bay. And there - whales, icebergs, solid arctic romance and one polar bear.

"Such blue lagoon I haven't seen yet. It was raining, and there was a wind so strong that it literally tore out the doors of the car. Reminds me of going to an onsen in Japan in a snowstorm. And this is the case when the bear’s head came in handy as a warm hat.”

“Relying only on yourself is a great way to stop being disappointed in people and live in a great mood.”

“The first thing I did when I made my first money was to send my mother to the sea, since she only saw him on TV.”

“The success of traveling with children is not planning anything. For example, I booked business class by miles thinking it was the perfect flight option, but Yuna's 10th flight was the hardest. As a result, we spent almost all 7 hours alternately in the space near the toilet, rocking Yuna, and not lying on the bed. By the way, the flight to Tenerife is a children's flight, I have never seen so many children on one board. Passengers without children - hello! With a child, you adjust to his daily routine and his dreams, but these are all trifles that can be solved, all for the sake of that very childish joy and laughter at the sight of a pool or ocean.

“We went to the north of the island. Everything here is exactly as I imagined Tenerife: strong currents, waves, boards, black beaches, steep cliffs ... "

“What I love about Iceland is the opportunity to take a dip in the hot springs. After a whole day behind the wheel, after all the impressions and what he saw, after active walks, after a cold wind and rain - it’s the best thing to end the day in such a thermal spring».

"One of the most famous places in Iceland, these are the remains of a plane that made an emergency landing on a black beach in 1973. For a long time, it actually stood intact, until the farmers sawed it for their household needs. Thanks to Instagram, this place has become very popular, this plane often flashes in all photo publics.

“So, about Yekaterinburg… I'll start with the Yeltsin Center. First, he meets a personal armored car with gifts in the form of a watch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a sweater from Boris Nemtsov, reminded me of the “Gift Museum” to the Great Leaders of North Korea in Pyongyang. I was a little afraid that there would be a continuous cult of personality, but from the very first hall, where the cartoon “History of Russian Democracy” is shown, goosebumps ran through my body. And then, when I moved from hall to hall, different emotions overtook me: horror and a lump in my throat from the barricades, warmth from childhood memories from video players and Sega consoles, shock from empty counters with birch sap, etc. The figure of the first president in history of the country is controversial in many aspects, for which the Center unfairly receives criticism from its opponents. But there were not so many museums in my life that caused so many violent emotions, which means that the creators of the Yeltsin Center achieved the main thing. I envy you that there are no such venues with lecture halls and galleries in Perm. And here is the cool book "Piotrovsky", doubly proud that this is a Perm project. By the way, Yeltsin graduated from high school and spent his childhood in the Perm region.”

Why Perm region not Lapland? I spent 5 days in Finland, finally, not passing through, at the invitation of @nokiantyrescom and @nokian_tyres_russia and I want to highlight the strengths of this country. ⠀ ✔️Brand. For many winter fairy tale(snow, fireplace, deer, Santa) this is Finland. The country has a powerful associative image. Hence, there are so many Asians here, for them it is a whole adventure to be in the cold. ⠀ ✔️Northern lights. Another lure, which is not in most of Russia. In Russia, the most accessible places with a high intensity of luminescence are the Kola Peninsula with Murmansk region(if you don't take hard-to-reach places, such as Novaya Zemlya or Taimyr). ⠀ ✔️ Infrastructure. Hotels for every taste, and there are all kinds of igloo variations with glass ceilings to admire northern lights. But even without them - waking up surrounded by centuries-old snowy firs ... Airports in every small town, convenient. ⠀ ✔️Comfort. There were no fatal accidents in Helsinki in 2019. Finland topped the ranking of the happiest countries in northern Europe. Finland is recognized as the safest country in the world for tourism. ⠀ ✔️ Activity. There is always something to do for you and the kids. Husky ride, reindeer ride, ski resorts. You can just drive along the roads and meet hundreds of deer (we even saw an elk). ⠀ ✔️ Important little things. Every day we had lunch and dinner with a live fire, often we cooked right on it. It doesn’t cost anything, but how cool it is to go to a hotel (restaurant) frozen, and there is the smell of a fire and something is being cooked in front of you. And it's all about Scandinavian taste. And atmospheric. ⠀ 🙌 Conclusion: the conditional Perm region has no chance to fight such a strong competitor. It must be admitted that we are very far from developed countries (especially mentally and culturally). But there is a way out, trite, but it is the improvement of the environment around you, step by step. And there you look and the very concept of how domestic tourism. You are probably waiting for me to integrate tires into this post?) Yes, no way :) So it's clear that Finnish = quality :) ⠀ #MishkaTravel #finland #suomi #lapland #adventurebynokiantyres #nokiantyres #hakkapeliitta

🤷🏻‍♂️What is my nationality? For me it was a shock. I thought for a long time that I was a Tatar, but it turned out that I had only 8% Tatar in me. A genetic test helped me learn more about myself. And, I tell you, my ancestors apparently did not travel much, almost all the blood is Ural-Volga. ⠀ 👇The, my population composition: ⠀ ⭕️ Bashkirs - 36.00% ⭕️Udmurts - 24.00% ⭕️ Mari - 12.00% ⭕️ Tatars - 8 4.00% ⭕️Shors - 4.00% ⠀ 🦌It's funny about the Saami (I just went to visit them and deer in Lapland), but this is easily explained by the fact that the Udmurts and Saami with the Finns are in the same Finno-Ugric language movement and once went to new lands from the Ural lands :) As a result, 1/3 of me is Finno-Ugric (Udmurt), and the rest is Turkic, mainly Bashkir. Russian 4% don't know how they got in:) ⠀ Then I studied the reports on my genome for 2 days. There are both quite interesting and funny data, for example, people with my genotype have a normal sensitivity to the smell of violets or people with my genotype are not prone to early graying. It also turned out that I have a low rate of neutralization of caffeine and reduced sensitivity to the smell and taste of cilantro :) ⠀ ❗️ And quite serious results that make you think about health. For example, I found out that I am a healthy carrier of a gene variant associated with the disease hemochromatosis (iron metabolism disorder). No more hereditary diseases (uff) are found. I also have a high risk for, say, migraine. And this worries me now, as I have struggled with headaches all my life. It has been confirmed that I am lactose intolerant. ⠀ In short, if you read all the recommendations and reports with links to scientific articles that open in your personal account, you can spend more than one working day on this. ⠀ ❓Where to go. Where can I buy. What is the price. ⠀ Today the @atlas_russia genetic test is having a sale in honor of Cyber ​​Monday and you can buy it at a cost of 11,900 rubles. Link to the sale - attached in stories. ⠀ 💁🏻‍♂️ Okay, as they say, Rakhmat duslar and Tau eshyos! #MishkaTravel #Mishka_saaam

Have you ever met world celebrities? I was always surprised by their openness and sociability, despite their status and fame. I have repeatedly (most often, of course, by chance) crossed paths with such people and they all have always been united by one thing - crazy energy, after five minutes of communication with them you are charged so much that you want to move mountains. So it was with Jay-Jay Johanson at Sheremetyevo Airport or with Mickey Rourke in one of the institutions in Los Angeles. ⠀ Once again, I was convinced of this the other day in Finland, when, at the invitation of @nokiantyrescom and @nokian_tyres_russia, I visited Lapland, where I rode the track with two-time Formula 1 champion Mika Hakkinen. As a child, when all my friends were rooting for Michael Schumacher and Ferrari, I was for Mika and McLaren. We rode with a breeze, Mika spoke warmly about Russia, said that he had been there many times, called him to Perm, said that this was our Ural Lapland :) I wanted to test the tires on the track, and his car was the only free one at that moment. While he was posing for the guys for a photo, the test pilot and I stole his car :) He then laughed, of course, he was not used to his safe country to such incidents with thefts) ⠀ In short, a solid positive. If you had meetings with idols or other interesting stories about meetings with famous people write interesting. ⠀ #adventurebynokiantyres #nokiantyres #whitehell #hakkapeliitta

I collected answers to questions that arise from people who want to visit Nepal (based on our expeditions and the experience of organizing 16 trips). Are there many tourists in Nepal? ✔️This is true, especially for the Annapurna route, which is even more popular than Everest. But we follow our author's route, bypassing the crowds. Surprisingly, branches from the main route, where there are few tourists, are also much more beautiful. ⠀ 📍I want to see Everest, how easier? ✔️You can take an excursion on a small plane and fly towards Everest for $180, they will lead you into the cockpit and show you Everest and other mountains. ⠀ 📍I have no experience, can I master the track? ✔️Special physical preparation for our trekking is not needed. If you can easily bear daily walks with stops for tea and lunch (per day from 6 to 12 km per day), then there will be no problems. ⠀ 📍 What is your comfort level? ✔️ Trekking in Nepal is as comfortable as possible: no need to carry tents, food, spend precious time cooking or washing dishes. ⠀ 📍 In what conditions will you have to live? ✔️We have comfortable hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara. On trekking, we spend the night in traditional Nepalese villages in small hotels and lodges (guesthouses), ⠀ 📍What about washing? How about charging your iPhone? ✔️In the lodges you can have dinner, take a shower, charge batteries and post photos on Instagram :) ⠀ 📍What do they eat in the mountains? ✔️ These are mostly simple rice dishes, lentils, vegetables in a curry, and for non-vegans, everything is served with chicken, sometimes yak steaks. ⠀ 📍 What the best time for the trip? ✔️From the beginning of March to the end of April, from mid-September to the end of November. Summer is the rainy season, winter is very beautiful and everything is open, but terribly cold. ⠀ 📍How much does it all cost if you go with a group? ✔️The cost of a trip with us is $990 and there are still a couple of places for a trip from March 6 to March 18. We have chosen the best time to visit these places, because. in early spring rains are very rare and the weather is usually sunny. In Kathmandu it can reach + 30 heat. Usually in the mountains from +10 to +25. ⠀ 📩 If you have any questions - write comments, my friend and guide in Nepal, @samarin_michael, will answer. And if you want to go with us, then write to or direct #nepal #nepal

The secret of the success of any northern hotel, as in the same Lapland, is: ⠀ ✔️ Floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the snow-covered forest and glass roofs, from which it is so convenient to admire the splendor of the northern sky (and in those latitudes it’s not just a starry sky, but and northern lights). ⠀ ✔️Hotels are not just made of high-quality eco-materials, they are, as it were, part of nature. I often show in Norway on expeditions a public toilet near the Skjerfsfossen waterfall. The building resembles a piece of rock, it was lined with slabs of local stone, and inside - high narrow windows and glass panels built into the floor allow you to look at the river, forest and mountains. To be honest, when the river murmurs under you, and you stand in the toilet with such a view... you don't want to get out of it :) ⠀ ✔️Instagramable. Beautiful place with a successful location, they will make it so that marketing costs will be zero, and the load will be full. In Finland, there is an emphasis on the needle, take a look at these fantastically beautiful hotels (PYHÄ IGLOOS, Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, PYHÄN ASTELI), there are also simpler forms (Northern Lights Ranch), traditional Sami dwellings - “kota” (like our chum) and even fully snow igloos (LUCKY RANCH). And in Sweden, for example, I lived in tree houses. ⠀ ✔️Atmsofera and Activity within an accessible radius from the hotel. ⠀ And now imagine that there is a modern eco-hotel on the top of Mount Poljud in the north of the Perm Territory (and at least without corrugated board). Huge windows overlooking the endless forests are especially impressive at sunrise and sunset (check out these photos on Google!). You can get to it in winter either by reindeer (dog?) team or by snowmobile. At night, you admire the starry sky while lying in bed. In the morning, baked cottage cheese pancakes with cloudberries and barley kacha with hazel grouse in the style of Vladimir Mukhin are served to you from the oven for breakfast :) ⠀ ❓Would you come here for the weekend?) ⠀ year, according to rumors) and the house of the weather station, as well as some dilapidated building, which is in the photo (electric panel?). I wonder if they will do something like in Lapdan?)

There were many for the first time in these new year holidays. For the first time they celebrated in a new apartment, for the first time he went to fetch the Christmas tree, bringing it from the forest (everything is legal), for the first time Yuna consciously waited for the festive night and the chimes, for the first time they saw fireworks so close (right in front of the nose under the windows!). We decorated the Christmas tree, for the first time Santa Claus left gifts under the Christmas tree, we had plenty of rides from the slides ... I will remember these days exactly as in the video. ⠀ Enjoy watching! The video was divided into 2 parts in a carousel, the total timing is only one and a half minutes. ⠀ #Perm #MishkaPapaYuny #winter #mood #snow #Perm region #russia #livefolk

✌️How to motivate yourself to do something? No way - stay in the f * ne (c) Artemy Lebedev. ⠀ 🙌We agreed in advance with Leonidis (name changed) about throwing on a snowmobile at dawn to Poljud, but I wanted more so that he would take us right after to Vetlan and figure out how to throw ourselves on the Pomyanenny stone. If the second location still requires some effort and effort, then the Vetlan stone is 4 km away along a well-worn path at the meeting point at the fork on the road to Poljud. ⠀ And Leonidis argues like this: the guys are generous (we waited a long time for the clouds to disperse, alas, we were unlucky, so we paid 1000 rubles per person instead of 650), I have already earned more than the morning money, so today you can already relax. ⠀ He refused to take me to Vetlan. They asked us to drop us back to Poljud in the evening before sunset, he said he would call back. Of course, I didn’t call back :) Fortunately, there are snowmobilers on duty at the bridge, who easily dropped us off at Vetlan for 500 rubles per person. ⠀ Often in tourism (and not only in tourism), the problem of people is the lack of desire to work. Even if they have everything for this (time, knowledge and experience, snowmobile, Polyud, winter, tourists). You can motivate yourself as much as you like, read books about how people have achieved some kind of success, but if you do nothing at all, then there is a chance to stay with Leonidis somewhere in the f... :) ⠀ #permskykrai #perm # winter #russia #russia #snow #russia

📍Stone city in the Perm region. How to get. ⠀ ✌️ It takes about 3 hours to go from the city to the Stone Town, it's 200 km. The route is easy to google google maps, but maps.me constantly leads to the wrong place, do not use it. ⠀ 👋Landmark: Usva village, after it there is a lapel to Shumikhinsky and after 4 km there will be a parking lot on the right side, which winter time turns into a snowdrift :) We left the car, alas, right on the track (out of desperation). Walk along the path for 1.5 kilometers without climbs. ⠀ 🚌 On public transport: bus to Gubakha or Kizel to Usva (12 times a day from the bus carrier from 400 rubles). It’s better to ask the driver to drop off a little further on the lapel, and then we walk on foot or hope for those who will stop and give a lift along the way 😀 (such is cruel and harsh tourism in the region). In theory, there is also a railway station, but it's better to just forget about it. ⠀ 🚕 If you are several people, then it is wiser to take a taxi (Yandex writes 7000 rubles round trip). ⠀ There are travel agencies that take one day to these places on weekends, but I haven’t used it, and I can’t recommend it. And I don't want to, since the best time to visit is not in the crowd, but at dawn or dusk. Therefore, without a car in any way. ⠀ It is better to combine with the Usva pillars, which is also nearby. In one daylight hours, even in winter, you can manage. ⠀ #travelhead #perm #perm region #russia #dji #djimavic #winter #mavicpro #dronephotography

🚫 What can't be given to travelers categorically? Of course, power banks, I have 6 of them :)) It is also very difficult to guess with equipment, since over the years affection and love for certain materials and brands have already been formed. The same goes for photography equipment. ⠀ 👏 But hard drives - I'm always glad to see under the Christmas tree (any color and any volume), but, of course, it's best that it be fast and protected from falls like Adata HD680. The case of this hard drive consists of several layers, which protects it from shock when dropped on a concrete floor from a height of up to 1.2 meters. But the most pleasant little thing that I noticed is a special groove that allows you to keep the cable at hand and not lose it during transportation (brilliant!). ⠀ ✌️You can buy it at a great price in the @mvideo_ru store, and if you want to get it for free, then take part in the contest in the @Adata_Russia profile ⠀ #AdataRussia #AdataHDD

Meet Ural Lapland. The real snowy winter from fairy tales is here. Shades of red in the white-white forest can only be seen at dawn and sunset, as well as in the form of frozen red rowan berries. ⠀ This is the Perm Territory. My motherland. Would you like to visit here? If so, why are you still at home?) #perm region #perm #perm #russia

A year ago ⠀
I compiled my TOP places in Russia, which especially impressed and remembered me. Hey @elivosk! Save :)
⠀
📍Lake Baikal.
Frozen clear lake blue ice and frozen bubbles ... Continuous trembling and goosebumps. The best time to visit is at the end of February.
⠀
📍Manpupuner (Komi).
I think that these weathering pillars deserve more fame, it's much cooler than Stonehenge, just imagine that in the Ural tundra, 7 vertical pillars almost 50 meters high stand alone!
⠀
📍Usva Pillars (Perm Territory).
The most picturesque time is mid-autumn (October) or sunrises with fogs, which often occur in late August and early September.
⠀
📍Khodutka and Kuril lake (Kamchatka).
Bears, bears and many more bears that run a couple of meters away from you and do not pay any attention. And then immediately bathing in the picturesque thermal springs.
⠀
📍 Mount Elbrus (Kabardino-Balkaria).
We spent the night at an altitude of 3900 in the hotel-pipe (designed by the French!) leaprus. It was the highest mountain hotel in Europe, under you - a thousand peaks. Unreal beauty and solid space.
⠀
Fiagdon Gorge (North Ossetia).
Picturesque mountains interspersed with stormy mountain rivers and family towers. And if you also take Ossetian pies with you, then the trip will definitely succeed.
⠀
📍Russian village Pyramiden on Svalbard.
Restored abandoned Soviet-type town in the Arctic. The island de jure does not belong to any country in the world, we have more of a strategic presence there. It was next to the Pyramid that I was landed on a piece of iceberg near the Nordenskiöld glacier.
⠀
📍Khalaktyrsky beach (Kamchatka).
The widest beach with black volcanic sand in Icelandic style, but with the mighty waves of the Pacific Ocean.
⠀
👌I honestly tried to make the top 10, but there are places where I have not been yet (Altai or Karelia), and there are places where I have been, but did not have time to feel their strength and beauty (Curonian Spit). Therefore, he left two positions vacant in order to supplement them years later.
⠀
🙌What would you add? Aniva lighthouse on Sakhalin Tyumen sources? Lena pillars? Putorano Plateau? Wrangel Island with white bears?
⠀
✌️The 9th and 10th points are up to you for now :)
