A woman in Russia walked 2,300 kilometers alone in 120 days.
On September 11, 2025, Russian traveler Oksana Lytkina completed her non-stop through-hike of the Great Ural Trail. Over 120 days Oksana walked more than 2,300 km from the city of Orsk on the border with Kazakhstan to Dyatlov Pass in the Northern Urals along the longest linear mountain route in Russia.
"My solo journey is an important step in drawing attention to the tourism potential of the Urals," Oksana Lytkina said after finishing. "I hope that this act has attracted a new audience of tourists to the project and that my example has inspired women and solo travelers to achieve great things. I believe I have convincingly demonstrated that solo travel along such large-scale routes is accessible and can be successful. And, overall, the Urals are accessible to a wide audience of travelers."
During her hike, Oksana collected unique information for the further development and improvement of the Great Ural Trail. The project team will refine the trail's route and prepare descriptions of its sections. A comprehensive view of the entire project will make it possible to create a more comfortable and interesting tourism product for outdoor enthusiasts.
Oksana Lytkina's hike on the Great Ural Trail was an important step in forming a unified tourist space across the Urals, stimulating interregional cooperation and supporting local communities, which has a significant socio-economic impact. After a short rest, Oksana will set off on a tour of the Ural regions to meet her followers and talk about her unique hike.
