Steppe village at Mogoituysky Volcano foot — base for climbs and overnight in the east.
Mogoytuy
Mogoytuy lies in steppe near the Amur Oblast border. Farming and transit village — a tourist base before Mogoituysky Volcano climbs. Starting point for the volcano and eastern steppe roads. Modest lodging — hotel or homestays by arrangement; book in season ahead. Hot dry summers; severe frost in winter. Refuel and shop before volcano and dirt roads — limited choice in village. Book a guide or driver ahead — taxis and private transfers arranged locally by phone. Cash helps — card terminals are sparse. Signal drops on the volcano slope — share your route before leaving. Water cans for the car essential on steppe roads.
How to get there
~150 km east from Borzya on mixed paved and dirt roads.
Best season
June–September for climbs
