In the museum’s fifth hall in Milkovo, the memorial hall, original items from G. G. Porotov’s collection offer insight into his life and creative work. Porotov was an Itelmen poet, prose writer, musician, and folklorist. After his death, his daughter, L. G. Porotova, donated the items to the museum. The exhibition is scheduled to run through December 31, 2026.

The “Obelisk” monument also provides a specific historical connection. It stands at the intersection of Partizanskaya and Leninskaya streets and commemorates residents of Milkovo District who fell in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945. A post dated February 24, 2026, describes the monument as accessible to residents and visitors.

At one edition of the “Selskiye vstrechi” festival, the ensembles “Milkovskie zori,” “Milkovskaya volnitsa,” “Kyksha-ay,” “Nezabudochki,” and “Mikstura” performed, along with soloists Oleg Selivanov and Viktoria Zabigailo. This gives an impression of the range of song, dance, choral, and vocal music represented there, without making any claims about future programs.

The Nulten visitor program presents Even history, contemporary life, and traditions. A visit to the Nulten camp also includes the national dwelling “Ochchen.” Traditional dog harnesses and a sled are displayed there. These items add concrete examples of everyday life to the cultural experience.

By prior arrangement, the visit can be supplemented with an approximately 50-minute concert by the Itelmen folk ensemble “Kyksha-ay” from Milkovo. If you would like to include the program or concert in your plans, arrange the details with the operator before your trip.

A route to Ichinskaya Sopka volcano is listed as starting in Milkovo. Also listed is a combination of rafting and fishing on the Kamchatka River, with Milkovo, Pushchino, and Atlasovo as starting points. The listings thus distinguish a volcano route from a combination of two river activities; the latter has three possible starting points.

For specific planning, check the current operation, access, and conditions for each tour before your trip. The listings provide a starting point for comparing the different themes, but do not replace confirming current details.

As a regional natural area, Nalychevo Nature Park offers a distinct setting for planning a trip in the Kamchatka region. Seven tourist routes run through the park and are accessible at different times of year. Since their number and availability may change, it is advisable to check locally.

The park has around 200 thermal springs, grouped according to their hydrochemical properties, temperature, and therapeutic properties. The central area contains hot and cold mineral springs with carbon dioxide-, arsenic-, and boron-bearing waters enriched with mineral trace elements. The Nalychevo Valley is surrounded by Zhupanovsky, Avachinsky, Kozelsky, Koryaksky, and Dzenzur volcanoes. These natural features belong to the Kamchatka region and describe the nature park, not Milkovo.
