WELCOME TO REPUBLIC OF TUVA

SIGHTSEEING. PLACES TO VISIT IN TUVA
 


The republic of Tuva is one of the least known and most curious corners of Russia. The Tuvans are nomadic pastoralists by nature Buddhist and shamanist by religion, Mongolian by cultural heritage, and Turkic by language.
 

Locals say that Tuva is located in the very center of Asia. The geometrical center of the Asian continent defined by scientists lies in Kyzyl – capital of Tuva - and is marked by the stone monument.

EASTERN TUVA

The eastern part of the republic of Tuva is mainly forested, with more rivers and lakes than elsewhere in Tuva. One of the draws of the region is Toora-Khem and Lake Azas. Lake Azas is big and beautiful, surrounded by forest and mountains. The only way to come here is by boat from Kyzyl up the Bolshoi Yenisey to Toora-Khem, about 30km west of the lake. While and unforgettable river trip to the lake is one of the best experiences as you’ll be able to see some of the most enigmatic and beautiful pristine parts of the world.

SOUTHERN TUVA

Samagaltay is the first capital of Tuva, as well as one of its oldest localities founded already in 1773. In the pre-revolutionary time Samagaltai was an important trading center with China and Mongolia. The village Samagaltay, 165km south of Kyzyl, has a beautiful Buddhist temple. Locals here carve and sell small Buddha figures made from agalmatolite.

Erzin, 220km from Kyzyl, is a town of almost entirely Tuvan people. South of the town is a land of deserts that have camel herds.
