Siberia 2012: The Sayan Oka

— Zachary / Monday, November 28, 2011

For 2012 we're offering a special expedition to the Sayan Oka River in Southern Siberia. We had a great trip to Siberia's Kaa-Khem last summer which generated a lot of interest for another trip to this unknown land.

The Sayan Oka is further East which makes it easier to reach through Bejing, China. From Bejing we'll fly to Irktusk and then it's a day's drive to the river. The trip ends near lake Baikal and we'll take a few days to explore this lake which is known as the Galapagos of Russia.

We've also started to plan our Siberian trip for 2013. We've chosen the more difficult Upper Bashkaus River that is full of Class IV rapids and the occasional Class V! Stay tuned for more about this expedition.
