Lost land, untouched nature

The Putorana Plateau is one of the most remote and mysterious locations in our country. Accessible only by water or air, there's no communication and almost no people. Once on the plateau, you'll feel like a pioneer, discovering
wild, untouched nature far from civilization. And this nature is truly breathtaking: fjord lakes, sparkling waterfalls, peakless mesas, and deep canyons. It's a true northern exotica with endless blueberry fields and hundreds of species of moss, crystal-clear air, and the opportunity to observe animals up close, many of which are endemic, meaning they live only on the Putorana Plateau and nowhere else on the planet.

A journey to this remote land doesn't necessarily mean giving up your usual comforts. While exploring the plateau, you can return each evening to the premium park hotel, where the chef will introduce you to northern specialties: game, fish, and other local produce. During the day, entertainment and activities to suit every taste await: hiking at various levels of difficulty (from leisurely strolls to challenging treks for explorers), boat rides, SUP rides, helicopter excursions…

Places of attraction

Lake Lama is
the plateau's main lake. Formed in a tectonic fault, it is distinguished by its immense depth, reaching 200 meters in some shores! The surrounding landscapes are breathtaking: rocky shores and secluded beaches with large pebbles, forests, and the slopes of low but picturesque mountains.

Irkindinsky Waterfall
, a 27-meter waterfall that, along with Lake Lama, has become one of the plateau's signature features, is a landmark. The Irkinda River tumbles over a rocky ledge, dividing into several branches. The waterfall is beautiful both in warm weather, when it impresses with its roar, foam, and rainbow splashes, and in winter, when the streams freeze into bizarre formations.

Mount Festivalnaya
is the best observation point on the Putorana Plateau, created by nature itself. Situated at an altitude of 988 meters, the trek up the mountain is challenging, but well worth it: from here, the plateau can be seen from edge to edge. The panoramic views are mesmerizing, and will make you fall in love with this rugged yet magically beautiful land at first glance.

Lake Kutaramakan,
a lake in the western part of the plateau, is long but quite narrow (no more than 2-2.5 km wide). It's a fjord lake with rocky shores cut by narrow, deep gorges. In some places, the shoreline reaches a thousand meters in height, creating a unique topography and incredible views.

Mount Chaya-Kit
, located on the shore of Lake Kutaramakan, is renowned for its fauna: Chaya-Kit is home to endemic species of the region, animals found nowhere else on the planet. Observing the mountain's slopes from afar, you're likely to spot the unique Putorana snow sheep and white-tailed eagle.

Kandinsky Waterfall,
one of the highest waterfalls on the plateau, reaches a height of 108 meters. Near Kandinsky Waterfall, you fully experience the power of nature. Sometimes, you can't even hear your own voice over the roar of the water! The roar of the elements is sometimes intertwined with the unimaginable roar of breaking loose and collapsing basalt boulders.

Norilsk
. Norilsk is a wonderful northern city with a fascinating history, the world's first city on permafrost. Here you can get a closer look at the daily life and customs of life in the harsh northern conditions and learn about famous people associated with Norilsk.

Dudinka:
Another city worth exploring during a visit to Putorana is Dudinka, the capital of Taimyr. Founded in 1667, it is closely linked to the history of the discoverers and conquerors of Siberia and the Russian Arctic. It is also the main city for indigenous nomadic peoples, where you can meet the hereditary reindeer herders.
