Khandyga / Хандыга

On our travel through eastern Siberia, we were staying one night in Khandyga, an urban settlement along the Kolyma road. The Khandyga pictures were taken during an early morning hour, before heading towards Oymyakon.

We were staying overnight in a flat in a typical house from the Soviet era. The enterance didn't look too promising, but the flat was ok.

We were sharing the flat with some money transporters from the Russian bank. They were armed even at breakfast, and also when drinking vodka the evening before.
