getting there
mobility
Self-drivers should note that many cars in Eastern Siberia are equipped with right-hand drive. This can lead to more dangerous situations when overtaking. This is because many used cars are imported from Japan in comparatively good condition due to the strict TÜV inspection. However, the number of such imports has decreased since 2010.

security
You should prepare for extreme climates, especially in winter you need suitable clothing to protect yourself against the cold. It is helpful, whenever possible, to use local sources of information to be warned of floods, forest fires, etc. There are forbidden areas that you should avoid as much as possible.
Nature is very pristine and represents a danger for the inexperienced. If you are in the forest, you should watch out for snakes, which usually warm up in the sun on the stones. There aren't many of them, but some could be venomous vipers. The other problem these (and other regions of the Northern Hemisphere) have is ticks. Your bites may be infectious, vaccinations are recommended.
You should never stray further from human settlements without the appropriate equipment and leave the path, destination and intended period of the hike or rafting tour behind with every tour.
