Today we want to present you another new motorcycle tour for 2026. Yes, we love the old saying: "Repair your cart in December, in July your sledge remember." That's why we are already getting ready for the new summer season.
So, the tour is called: "Krasnoyarsk Krai - Tuva - Khakassia. A Journey to the Heart of Siberia."
Why Siberia again? The answer is simple - it takes up about 77% of Russia and is bigger than all of Canada, the world's second-largest country. Siberia is a huge region, very rich in resources. It is the economic foundation of Russia, but it is also one of the most sparsely populated and mysterious places on the planet.
And right in the center, in the very heart of this vast land, are Krasnoyarsk Krai and the republics of Tuva and Khakassia. Our motorbike trip will go through these places.
Where we will go and what we will see:
Krasnoyarsk Krai - the industrial leader of Siberia, where the grand construction projects of the Soviet era changed the landscape forever.
1. We start from Krasnoyarsk - one of the biggest cities in Siberia. We will see the Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station and its reservoir, which locals call the "Krasnoyarsk Sea." We will also see the Sayano-Shushenskaya Dam, the highest dam in Russia. We will ride on taiga roads along the Yenisei River, one of the biggest and most powerful rivers in Russia. We will visit the Shushenskoye Museum, a unique open-air complex that shows what a Siberian village looked like at the end of the 19th century. We will stop in the Ergaki Nature Park, the real "Siberian Alps," with famous rock peaks like the "Sleeping Sayan."
2. Republic of Khakassia - a land that holds the memory of thousands of years, where you can find traces of ancient civilizations everywhere. A huge number of ancient monuments in Russia are located here. It is often called an "archaeological Mecca." Along the route, you will see ancient burial mounds, standing stones, and old stone figures. Many of them are more than 5 000 years old. We will visit the capital of the republic, Abakan, the main Khakass city. We will spend the night in a traditional yurt complex called "Kyug," where you can experience Khakass culture and see the sacred stone "Khurtuyakh Tas."
3. Republic of Tuva - the spiritual center of Siberia, where Buddhist and shamanic traditions mix. We will visit Kyzyl, the city located at the geographical center of Asia. We will see the place where the Great Yenisei and Little Yenisei rivers meet. We will visit the Ustuu-Khuree Buddhist monastery, one of the key spiritual centers of the republic. We will see the mountain "Khayyrakan," which is sacred to the Tuvan people. We will ride over the Sayan Mountain passes, which are more than 2 000 meters high. We will visit the city of Ak-Dovurak, which lies at the foot of marble mountains
In total: 10 days and 2 300 km of roads full of changing landscapes, cultures, and impressions. This motorcycle tour logically combines the key points of Central Siberia into one journey. It will show you the region from different, sometimes unexpected, sides - from industrial giants to ancient sacred sites and untouched nature.
