Tura, the administrative centre of Evenkiysky District in Krasnoyarsk Krai, is connected to the rest of Russia mainly by air. That is why travel to the expedition needs planning.
Where Tura is
Tura stands on the Central Siberian Plateau where the Kochechum river joins the Lower Tunguska. There is no year-round road from Krasnoyarsk, so flying is the main way in.
