Famous traveler Fedor Konyukhov, who was hospitalized on June 11 after suffering a tick bite, was discharged from the infectious disease hospital in Tuva, as the Kyzyl hospital announced. Currently he is undergoing a course of rehabilitation in the capital of Tuva, and soon he will be able to re-join the international expedition, which started on May 13 from Ulan-Bator.
It is known that the traveler is very pleased with the quality of medical help which he received in Tuva.
In Tuva, the unexpected arrival of the famous traveler to Kyzyl is ascribed to a special magnetic attraction of Tuvan land. Even though Tuva was not on the itinerary of the expedition, Fedor Konyukhov was brought here through the will of fate.
It is known that there won’t be any changes of schedule in the caravan’s journey because of Konyukhov’s illness.
The task of the expedition is to repeat the journey of about 7,000 kilometers, which the ancestors of the Kalmyks traveled centuries ago, from the walls of China to the shores of Volga.
