The
Lenskie Stolby National Nature Park
This park is situated in Khangalassky uluss, 100-200 kilometers south of Yakutsk. It
covers an area of 485 thousand acres and has 868 thousand acres of buffer zone. Tourist
lodges "Buotama" and "Verhniy Bestyah" are located on the territory of
the park.
It is a perfect place for those who love nature and unique experiences. Lenskie stolby is
a masterpiece shaped by water, heat, and cold. It is a jewel of the Lena river. Ancient
rock has been turned into what seems like columns, towers, arches, cathedrals, walls; and
unexpectedly, in the middle of the taiga, one can see sand dunes called tulkans. The park
is a habitat for many rare animals and plants. It is a place where the remains of mammoth,
bison, and other fossil animals are still found.
Ancient dwellers of this place left a vast variety of hyroglyphs. Samples of old Turk
runic writing can also be seen.
The landscape adds a unique touch to hiking, water touring, and other activities.
An exiting trip can last three to five days. It is a great place for fishing due to a
variety of back-waters and former river-beds. The basin of Buotoma river - its down stream
part - is a habitat for the great Manchurian deer.
The rout begins at a place called Kuonan. Tourists can get to Kuonan by the Yakutsk-Niever
road. All information about rafting and safety precautions, as well as an overnight stay
at a huntsman lodge, are offered to tourists at Kuonan. There are two stops along the
rout, first at Kueh-Khaya place where tourists can take a rest in a cabin, and second at
the mouth of the Buotoma river. Here tourists can take a rest in cabins and in tents at a
camp ground. The destination is the village of Kachikatzy. The park offers guide services,
tents, rubber boots, and safety vests.
