Yugyd Va national park - Komi republic
 
Hi,

Anyone visited Yugyd Va national park ? Is it possible to get there or do we need to organise a trip through a travel agency from Ukhta or Syktyvkar?
Is it worth riding all the way to Ukhta as well?

Very hard to find any info online... My travel guide cover only main towns south of Ural but not Komi. We will get there in a couple of weeks max ( currently in St Pete) so any advice of what to see, ride, in Komi, most welcome....

Not hiking to Manpupuner as we are reluctant to leave bikes behind and poor state of my ankles won't take it ( one too many motorcycle accidents).

EO you went all around, there your thoughts most welcome!

Thanks,

Maria

Yugyd Va would be glorious, but it would take time and boats to get up the Pechora or Ilyich.

I didn't stop in Ukhta, but waited for a train connection in nearby Sosnogorsk. Really no reason to go there, unless you fancied leaving your bikes in locked parking and taking the train up to Vorkuta.

Otherwise, there is not much accessible in Komi by road; Syktyvkar is not really worth visiting.... but the road there from Kotlas is very nice.

If you were there in winter....

Thanks EO.

We will definitely ride up to Syktyvkar, if only as you said, because the road there should be rather interesting. We will come via Kotlas.

And we will follow the little road you showed on another post with pictures, up to the highway toward Arkhangelst .... I got lots of good ideas from your posts! Thanks again for sharing ! :thumbup1:
