Kayaking on the Umbozer, trekking to the Khibiny and Lovozersk tundra

Duration: 7 days

Dates: 01-07.08.2022

This hike is a combined one. We will not only go kayaking on the beautiful lake Umbozero, but also make hiking trips to the Khibiny and Lovozersk tundra. This trip is a great chance for real adventurers to see both mountain ranges of the Kola Peninsula at once. The places where the hike takes place are wild and it is rare to meet fishermen or tourists here. The hike takes place on single and double sea kayaks.

Day 1

We leave Murmansk, pick up the participants at the Olenegorsk station and drive about 2 hours to the dacha-fishing base in the northeastern part of Lake Umbozero. We pack things in hermetic bags, change clothes and go through the briefing. We have lunch, split into carriages and begin our journey. We will go along the coast to the south, and at night we will camp in Pesochnaya Bay.

Day 2

We have breakfast and go further along the Umbozer. The goal for today is a large crossing of 20 kilometers to the mouth of the Kuftuai River. Along the way we pass several rivers running down from the Lovozersk Mountains. Pebble beaches are often formed at their mouth, where we will stop to relax and take a walk. In the evening we set up camp and rest

Day 3

We go to the mountains - we will walk about 25 km on foot along the southern slope of the Lovozersk tundra, climb up to Lake Rayyavr, which is located in a large rock circus. Let's enjoy the atmospheric views.

Day 4

All the previous days we walked along the Lovozersk tundra, and the Khibiny were on the other side of the lake, and today we are moving to the Khibiny shore of the Umbozer - Lovozerye will remain on the horizon. We go to the opposite side of the lake. We stop at the foot of Koashkar Mountain and set up camp.

Day 5

In the morning we go to the Khibiny Mountains. We pass a gorge with small picturesque lakes, climb the low Koashkar Mountain, from where the views of the Khibiny, Umbozer and Lovozersk tundra on the opposite side of the lake open. We return to the camp in the evening.

Day 6

Today we have a big crossing of 25 kilometers. We cross the Gulf of Tulilukht, bypass Cape Tulinyark and move to the gulf - Chudalukht or "Cape Litt".

Day 7

Here we are finishing our big Umbozer ring! We walk about 10 km to our starting point. We pack our bags, pack our kayaks and finish our journey.
