Buddhist Mecca of Baikal

Right now we are going to Buryatia to visit Arshan – the resort in the mountains of the East Sayan.







Shamanism is traditional for Buryatia, such ribbons on trees can be seen very often there. Each place has its own spirit-protector. So they tie ribbons to trees or make stone piles to placate spirits.



Kultuk village (“kultuk” is translated from the Turkic language as “the dead end”). There was a burg here in 1647.



Smoking fish for sale.



Smoked Baikal omul.
