Couple Walks 1,300+ Kilometres from Moscow to Vladivostok in 62 Days
Pavel and Tamara have been walking from Moscow to Vladivostok for 62 days. So far, they've covered 1,319.12 kilometres and reached the Republic of Tatarstan. Their journey, which began in January, aims to cross Russia on foot within a year—without using any transport.
The trek started on January 19, 2026, from Moscow's central square. After 40 days on the road, the couple faced serious foot problems, forcing them to visit a trauma centre in Cheboksary. Despite the setback, they continued their route.
In Nizhnekamsk, they explored Veliky Park, a quiet area with small houses, bridges, and old bicycles on display. They also visited the Museum of People's Artist Akhsan Fathutdinov, where they saw ancient sculptures and paintings. The city's thermal baths—known for pools, saunas, and relaxation zones—offered a brief respite. Nizhnekamsk's well-developed bike lanes stood out, encouraging cycling as a way to get around. From there, the travellers made a short stop in Naberezhnye Chelny. They visited the 'Motherland' memorial complex and paid respects at the monument to Vladimir Vysotsky. Now in Agryz, a key railway hub near Udmurtia, they plan to reach Izhevsk, the region's capital, in the coming days.
The couple's journey has already taken them through Tatarstan, with stops in cultural and historical sites. Their next destination is Izhevsk, where they will continue their 12-month trek toward Vladivostok. The trip remains entirely on foot, with no motorised transport used so far.
