How to get out Novaya Chara
There are several excellent trips in the area.
The Chara sand dunes are most easily accessed from an old road behind Staraya Chara, use a GPS or local knowledge to find the trail, then walk about 4km on very boggy terrain and across a river, and you'll find them. It's also possible to walk in a loop via the southern mining branch line/access road. Sand dunes on 600m of permafrost - it's a bit odd!
The Kodar Mountains to the north are an ideal location for a hike lasting several days to several weeks or longer. Accessible in this way is several reasonably well preserved gulags that originally mined Uranium. They are also accessible by helicopter. Photos and artefacts from an expedition there are visible in the museum.
