From Ukraine to Murmansk
When everyone dreams of the sea, I dream of the Russian north. Are there group tours from Ukraine to the Kola Peninsula, where excursions would capture towns, villages, hiking along mountain paths? The internet didn't work. If it is possible to purchase such excursions upon arrival in Murmansk?

Sorry, but you searched badly, then.

As experience shows, exotic tours in Russia are provided based on suckers who are ready to overpay 500% "on top", and then it makes no sense to take a "tour" in the wild to live with a left "guide", whose only goal is to get rich on the unlucky ( or very rich) client.
I traveled around Russia with a tent myself, working out the route and without the participation of Russian "businessmen". Satisfied with the result.
If you have experience of independent travel through wild places with bad weather and a lot of mosquitoes, then everything is simple - build a route on the map, taking into account the maximum train (airplane) to the point of departure. Use Wikimapia. If there are doubts about the patency of the rivers on the route, look for information on the forums. Buy tickets and go.
Thousands of travelers travel around Kola every summer, without the help of intermediaries, there are dozens of reports with photos on the Internet.

Come on! If the tourist is experienced and hangs around somewhere with a tent every year, then it’s cheaper for yourself. And for a tourist who goes hiking a couple of times in his life, it is much more profitable to take a group hiking tour with all the necessary equipment and food than to buy a tent, sleeping bags, kettles, thermoses. 10-15 thousand rubles per person for 9 days "all inclusive" is quite adequate.

ollennka, I thank you for your advice. There are really a lot of offers on the Internet and finding the right one is not difficult. But they are all Russian, I would like to find a group from Ukraine to shake on the train for 3 days already in the company. Because I plan to travel alone.
kolyan_cat, I envy you very much that you have the opportunity and experience of hiking in the wild. I have no such experience. Yes, and I'm a girl, traveling independently in Russia is still extreme. And life goes on, it's time to realize dreams. And I also fear that the "call of the north" may be weakened.

In fact, traveling around Russia is not extreme. No need to take on faith everything that is pumped up in the newspapers))) Bears don’t walk the streets there and gangs of maniacs don’t kidnap girls from Ukraine. Everything is quite calm and safe.
Trips to Kola from Ukraine are not uncommon, I have seen ads on the forums several times, I know that tourist clubs (yes, there are others) organize trips and you can cling to them.
I advise you to look at the tourist clubs in Ukraine on the Internet, most of them are in Kyiv, but there are in almost every city, call them at the numbers indicated on the sites, describe your desire and they will expertly tell you who is coming this season and who you can join. True, whether everyone wants to take the first-time girl on a rather harsh trip is a question.
It is not necessary to buy equipment, you can rent it here (again, it will be guaranteed cheaper than renting from a Russian travel agency). The guys from the tourist clubs will tell you what and where to take.

The main thing is not to end up in the Russian forest without repellents, then the pants will be full of extreme sports ...

kolyan_cat, thank you very much for such a detailed comment. After thinking for a long time, struggling with my natural cowardice, I nevertheless came to the conclusion that before embarking on such a long journey, it is worth trying something simpler and closer. Most likely, I will make my first cracking steps in the Carpathians ... In the meantime, I will admire the northern pictures from the forum reports of others!)
Good luck to you!
