Neryungri (Russian:Не́рюнгри, Ner-yun-gry) is a city in Yakutia.
The relatively modern coal mining town of around 65 000 people was built attractively on a hill top overlooking an enormous coal mine. The coal mine today consists of one large open pit, 5 smaller pits, and an underground section.
The city is compact and can be covered on foot. A network of buses and marshrutkas also cover the town and nearby areas.
The central park and war memorial. The mine site. You will need to obtain permission to enter the actual mining site, but sometimes a good story is enough to be allowed access to the adjacent maintenance sheds. In these (one is a big blue building not far from the main security checkpoint) enormous mining trucks are pulled apart and fixed.
