In 2005 he made a 14 days solo kayaking trip: Matta - Sinyaya - Lena (covering more than 600 km.)
In February 2006 he completed his third level of mountaineering qualification in the Valley Aktru of the Altai mountains.
February-March 2006, Nyurgun made a solo hiking and - hitchhiking passage route from the Altai mountains to the city of Yakutsk, during which he:
- trekked from Altai (Kokorya) to Tyva (Kyzyl-Khaya ) following wolfs tracks through mountains, cliffs, gorges and mountain passes (covering more than 130 kms).
- ice skated across the lake Baikal from the weather station of Uzury (Olkhon ) to the village of Turka (covering 55 kms in 9.5 hours).
