We hope to do the helicopter tour, but haven't had details from the cruise company yet. I was told that there were major landslips in the reserve a few years ago, and was wondering if there had been more or if the environment had recovered.
In any case, if you have info on things to do in or near P-K I would love to hear about it!
Well, there are really a lot you can see and do and you don't necessarily have to take that helicopter tour to the Valley of the Geysers. I mean, this tour is very expensive. And after the mudslide that happened in 2007 which wiped out almost the whole thing its like... It's still a nature's wonder, but in my personal it's not as impressive as it was before. And it's a shame that it never will be again...
But let's talk about the positive
You can do a lot of other fun stuff! Such as hiking to volcanoes (they are pretty impressive), rafting, wild life watching, hot springs... Some more ideas and tips on traveling in Kamchatka you can
find here.
There are really a lot to do and you not likely to have enough time for everything.
So the question is what would you like to do? What are your interests? How many people will be in your group? How much time are you going to have?
Then it will be easier to suggest you something exact.
