Over the course of a week, the guests plan to explore the main tourist routes. They will visit the Nephritovaya Valley and Dinosaur Mountain, climb the Romantikov Glacier and visit a reindeer herders' camp. This was reported by Noyabrsk-Inform.

The tour around the district will begin at the natural and ethnographic complex in Gornoknyazevsk. There, the guests will sample traditional dishes and learn about the history and way of life of the indigenous peoples of the North.

'This media exploration involving bloggers and journalists will help us show a wide audience across the country that Yamal's unique nature and culture are accessible and only 2.5 hours away from Moscow. The visitors will demonstrate how to respect the culture, traditions and people who live here,' said Olga Filipenkova, Deputy Director General of the Polar Urals Tourism Centre.

 The group of bloggers and journalists will spend a day in the Venengo family's ethnic camp, experiencing the life of real reindeer herders. The guests will be offered the chance to build a chum (traditional tent) with their own hands, go fishing and hunting, ride reindeer sledges across the tundra and taste traditional cuisine.
