Hike to Jack London Lake (via Kolyma Reservoir)

Let's start the hike!

We begin the walking part of our journey. Today we will go to the mouth of the Sibik-Tyellakh stream, which flows into the Kolyma reservoir, and walk along its bed for 10-15 km. The distance is quite short for a normal hike, but the terrain is so difficult that it will be very difficult to overcome even this distance, believe me.

Up the Sibik-Tyellakh Stream

We continue our hike up the Sibik-Tyellakh Stream. Again, our hiking norm is 10-15 km. If we can go more, we are real heroes!

Lake Jack London

All first half of the day we will walk along the stream, and in the second half of the day, when the channel goes sharply to the left, we will continue moving straight and, passing along many small lakes, we will come to the shore of Lake Jack London - big, beautiful and so desirable! We will set up camp on its shore.

Biologov foreland

A daytime hike along the lake shore and by evening we will arrive at Biologov foreland - a real resort for these harsh places. There is a beautiful sandy beach, excellent, flat places for tents, there is even a bathhouse! And all around - beauty!!!

Day at the biologists' foreland

A day's rest after 4 days of a hard hike through the wilderness and swamps. If the weather is good, you can lie on the beach, swim and even sunbathe. You can gorge yourself on blueberries and lingonberries, munch on cedar nuts, which have gained their juice by this time. You can meet the most beautiful sunrise and no less beautiful sunset.

The Purga River

We cross the lake by boat in several stages to the other side - to the mouth of the Purga River. There is also an equipped tourist camp here, and at the confluence of the river and the lake, grayling is caught like crazy - take ruble gear, excellent fishing is almost guaranteed!

After crossing the lake, we set up camp and again indulge in camping entertainment - eating berries, picking mushrooms, fishing or leisurely walks along the lake shore and photo sessions, fortunately the places here are stunningly beautiful and the photos will be the envy of all your friends. Girls, don't be lazy to take a couple of beautiful light dresses on this trip - they will definitely come in handy here!)))

Lakes Dream, Anemone and Gray Gull

In the morning, after breakfast and packing up camp, we will make a short 6-kilometer hike along the lake shore to the beginning of the channel connecting the lakes of Jack London and Dancing Grayling. There we will set up camp, have lunch and go to the radial exit to the lakes of Dream, Anemone and Gray Seagull. The lakes are located above the level of Lake Jack London and from them a majestic panorama of both these lakes themselves and most of Lake Jack London opens up, as well as from here the lake of Dancing Grayling is in the palm of your hand.

On the way back we will stop by the "Boevoy" camp on the shore of the lake of Dancing Grayling, and then, along a good road, we will return to our camp.

Spare day

Spare day in case of delays on the way during the first part of the hike, as well as bad weather.

If there are no delays, and we are very lucky with the weather, there will be no problem keeping yourself busy on Jack London Lake - berries, mushrooms, fishing, photo sessions - all this is literally at every step and you will not get tired of it, no matter how much you do it))

On the way back

In the morning we load into the shift bus and drive towards the settlement of Yagodnoye on the Kolyma highway. However, the road to the highway is 8 km from the village, the village itself is not of particular interest, therefore, in order to save time, we will try to connect the transport in such a way that upon arrival on the highway we will immediately transfer to the minibus waiting for us and arrive in Magadan by evening. However, transport logistics in the Magadan region is not simple and this is not always possible, therefore, there is an option to camp in a specially equipped place near the highway and go to Magadan the next morning.

Magadan

One way or another, we will be in Magadan on this day. Walking around the city, buying souvenirs, farewell dinner.

Home!

Transfer to the airport and flight home.

The weather in the Magadan region does not spoil you with warmth and a large number of sunny days, it is harsh and unpredictable. Therefore, take the selection of clothes and shoes for this trip seriously!

You will definitely need: a membrane jacket, a raincoat, a light down jacket or vest, a fleece, two pairs of hiking pants (waterproof or quick-drying), thermal underwear, good trekking boots, waders or marsh boots, trekking poles, a headlamp, a mosquito net, an 80-100 liter backpack with a protective cover for it... A full list of necessary clothes, shoes and equipment will be sent to you after signing up for the tour and making an advance payment.

For fishermen and those who would like to become one, this is a paradise - take your fishing gear with you! For those who like to swim in cold water - bathing accessories, because there will be plenty of opportunities to swim))
