Visit in June, 2008.

Area consist of Yugyd Va National Park, Pechorsko-Ilychski Reserve and buffer zones (including Yaksha Forest). Personally I was visiting only parts of Yugyd Va NP. One of the most difficult to reach places in Russia. There are no roads, no airports nearby. The only possibility is to get to Inta by train (2 days from Moscow) and from Inta either by organised trip or on your own. The trips are quite expensive as they organise foreign groups only and use local lorry cars for transportation - some 80 km to Yugyd Va Park borders).

The other way (like I did) is to take a train from Inta to Kozhim-Rudnik station (direction back to Moscow because the fast train from Moscow doesn't stop there) and than by foot. Area to the left of railway is already Yugyd Va National Park. There is a direct road leading inside the Park (the only one there). For individual trip you must have all food and accommodation (tent) on your own. Also (strongly, believe me) recommended nets agains small flies and mosquitos and local maps (there are no maps in Inta - use internet databases). Have in mind that there might be snow in June in the area (like I had that time).

Yugyd Va NP is the biggest national park in Europe with a big diversity of nature landscapes (meadows, bogs, forests, lakes, rivers and mountains)
