General presentation
Lena Pillars and Buotama
Lena rock pillars, sand dunes and the Buotama Valley form three landscapes in Khangalassy. The outline follows this actual district, rather than the national park boundary alone. Arrange excursions and crossings through authorised park programmes.
Prepare each outing with site managers or a local operator: access, weather, season and permissions vary by sector. A map marker is not a usable route.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Natural landscape
Lena Pillars
Tall rock faces line the Lena like an irregular facade. Seeing their sequence from the river reveals the scale of the ensemble and the differences between individual pillars.
Natural landscape
Lena Valley Sand Dunes
The Lena Valley dunes contrast sand with boreal forest. Use authorised park routes; fragile ground and river transport require local preparation. Confirm the exact dune site and landing with the operator.
Natural landscape
Buotama Valley
The Buotama winds through valleys before joining the Lena. Its mouth forms part of the national park’s visitor programme. Boat trips and overland access depend on permissions and local conditions.
