Travel Tips

The first thing you need to know is that it is important to dress for Kamchatka as for a regular winter hike; other styles are only suitable for walking around Petropavlovsk. At the same time, you should always adhere to the recommendations of the organizers of a particular tour. The fact is that they may differ depending on the time of year, plans and weather forecast, as well as many other obligations.

You should not take extra things, because you will have to walk a lot and often along difficult routes. Every extra kilogram can ruin your holiday. Take only those things you need.

Important tip: even in winter, take sunscreen with you because there is always a risk of getting sunburned.

What souvenirs to bring

As a souvenir, you can buy amulets, figurines of characters from local mythology, a doll in a national costume, local fish, red caviar, jewelry, and souvenirs with local logos.
