Belucha trek1: the tour begins in the small Russian village of Tjungur, then passes through the village of the same name Kucherla and continues all day along the river Kucherla. The hike is for 8–10 hours depending on what part of the valley you want to cross. During the whole trip, there are places for tents at regular intervals and also two turbases (cottages with the possibility of buying snacks and accommodation).

Kucherla

At the beginning we pass through the village of Kucherla, where the road is divided into two different directions, we head through the right valley towards Lake Kucherla.

Meadows

Along the way, there are several picturesque meadows where you can sleep and there are very often built fireplaces with places for tents.

Surprise

After the whole day, we get back to the road where the car goes, which significantly surprises us and finally we find out that there is a cottage to which there are supplies on the car along the other side of the river.

Mud

The disadvantage of the trek is that not only people but also horses follow it, and therefore the road is dug in several places and it is easy to get dirty from the mud.
