Manaraga, Mountain summit in Yugyd Va National Park, Komi Republic, Russia
Manaraga is a summit reaching 1,662 meters in the northern Ural Mountains with gentle grassy slopes leading to rocky peaks. The top features several sharp rock formations that rise from the softer lower slopes of the range.
The mountain was documented by early expeditions in the 1800s and became an important reference point for geographic surveys of the northwestern Urals.
The name comes from the Nenets language and means Bear Paw, reflecting how indigenous peoples understood and named the mountains around them.
The best time to climb is from May to August when conditions are most stable and snow has melted. Visitors should prepare for sudden weather changes and daylight that lasts almost all day.
The summit is visible from the distant valleys below and creates a distinctive profile with its jagged peaks that resemble claws. Despite its elevation, the mountain remains little visited compared to other major Ural peaks.
