                              	Public transportation in Kamchatka is limited to buses. The main bus station is on Pobedy Prospect and offers daily services (in high season) to [wiki=542c454584bf6eecca2b21f2ac85f26b]Esso[/wiki], [wiki=7c0730186106e15412dcc6abf1928337]Oktyabrsky[/wiki], [wiki=8d4ab405ebcc3bfb12e875fa7f3f8c5d]Milkovo[/wiki], and [wiki=b15b7882e298b32f268438dde0c2ac91]Ust-Kamchatsk[/wiki]. Be sure to get to the ticket office early in the morning. It opens at 8:00AM.

* Pimchakh (Пимчах) is a reconstruction of a traditional Itelmen village serving as a cultural center for the Itelmens (original inhabitants of southern Kamchatka, now mostly assimillated, with their language on the verge of extinction). The camp is located in beautiful countryside at the base of Ostraya Gora ("Steep Mountain" in Russian, due to the peculiarly conical shape), a few kilometers beyond Sosnovka village (Сосновка). It is possible to visit the place independently, if you're an adventurous traveller. One first needs to get to Sosnovka. Sosnovka can be reached by infrequent public buses from Yelizovo bus station (Yelizovo is the small airport town served by frequent buses from Petropavlovsk.) There are also more frequent public buses that go to the Sosnovka/Nikolaevka intersection on the main road between Yelizovo and Termalny, from where one can walk on the paved road to Sosnovka (around 4km). In Sosnovka, one has to find the dirt road starting at Tatyana shop (Татьяна) next to the bus stop. One can then walk on that dirt road for 1.5-2km through the cultivated agricultural land. At some point, the fields on the right end, giving way to the forest. Behind the last field, one takes a right turn to another dirt road. That place is marked by a small ПИМЧАХ sign. From there, it's a nice walk for a couple more kilometers to the Itelmen cultural center. [url=https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zCYjbLRCYYkk.kgbxAg0io49k&usp=sharing]Google map[/url]
