Where do we start from

The program starts and ends in Ust-Kamenogorsk. You should arrive in UKK the day before: we depart early in the morning on June 2. We’ll assist with accommodation in the city — we’ll suggest, help, and book.

Trip format

We’ll have well-prepared off-road vehicles equipped with everything needed for a comfortable journey.

Where we’ll stay:
At least a couple of nights we’ll spend in tents. The rest of the nights will be improvised: it might be a guest house, a semi-abandoned mountain hut, or the homes of kind-hearted locals.

What we’ll eat and how we’ll cook:
We’ll stock up on food, snacks, and road trip lunches in advance. Of course, as it usually happens in adventures, we’ll improvise meals together along the way. The idea is simple: one evening — one participant’s signature dish, and everyone helps out.

What to expect:

› awe, surprise, peace, happiness, and a whole range of emotions and impressions

› complete improvisation: based on mood, weather, and interests

› off-the-beaten-path sights with no tourists

› mysterious places hidden from prying eyes

› sunsets, sunrises, and breathtaking views

› if we’re lucky – a shamanic ritual experience

› interesting people, stories, and tales

› breakfasts and lunches with stunning landscapes

› encounters with wild forest inhabitants

... and lots of adventures: mud, winches, shovels, and all the fun of off-roading!

Only 5 spots available

Just 5 spots. I’ll be the one driving, guiding, and sharing stories — Anatoliy Katonskiy.

You could be a banker, a manager, a financier, anyone. If you’re okay with being part of the team, not just a passenger — carrying your own backpack to the car, rolling up your sleeping bag, fetching water, keeping the fire going, singing, sharing an interesting story, brewing coffee, or cooking something delicious — and vibing with the group — then you’re one of us.

If not — no hard feelings, maybe another time ;)
