Kuturchinskoe Belogorie: instruction manual
The Kuturchinskoe Belogorie is the
most extreme, bordering on civilization, ridge of the Eastern Sayan. Here, on
several hills among a fairy-tale forest, several hundred buttes are scattered.
Apart from fans of climbing, mysticism or outdoor recreation, adherents of
water rafting in the Krasnoyarsk region also like to come here, because in this
part of Mana there are three impssive rapids: Soboliniy, Truba and Bolshoi
Mansky.
HOW TO
GET THERE?
The ascent to Kuturchin is made
from several places, the most popular of them are: the Angul river, the village
of Kuturchin, the Big Mansky rapid. Getting to Belogorie is ptty easy. There
are several options:
Option
number 1: car + on foot
Distance from Krasnoyarsk to the region is 250 km, about 3 hours by car and 30
minutes on foot. You need to follow the M53 highway from Krasnoyarsk, then turn
towards Shalinsky. The path goes past Narva, Vyyezhy log. The end point of the
car “part” of the route is the village of Kuturchin. You walk from here. The
track runs through thickets of spruces, birches and aspens. The trail, although
clearly visible, is somewhere heavily overgrown with grass. There are areas of
windfall. Then you cross over Angul. Further, the road runs along the kurumnik
(abundant rock screes) and goes to the top.
Option
number 2: electrical train + on foot
You get on the train in Krasnoyarsk to the station "Mana" and go for
5 hours 20 minutes. Ticket price: 400 rubles. The train runs only on Saturdays
and Sundays and arrives at 15:08. Having chosen this option, you have to walk
from the station for several hours before the starting point of the path to
Belogorie. From the station building, go in the direction of the new boarding
school, go around it to the left and go onto a country road leading from Mana
station to the village of Khabaidak. There is a fork behind the village, go
straight without turning anywhere. After going for about 5 km, come to the next
fork, turn right, and after 500m turn left. After 1 km come to the hut, where
you can stay for the night, and it is the starting point of ascent to the
Kuturchinskoe Upland.
Option
number 3: train + on foot
You can also take a train to the Mana station (600 - 900 rubles for a reserved
seat). The train goes every day but arrives at 12:30.
