Travel to Russia

Lake Baikal

Lying in the south-eastern Siberian region of Russia, the picturesque Lake Baikal is one of the most adrenaline-fueled places to visit in Russia. This water body makes for the largest freshwater lake in the entire world. Dating back to over 25 million years and being about 1,700 meters deep, this lake is considered to be the world’s oldest as well as the deepest lake.

Altay

Altay happens to be one of the ethnic tourist places in Russia, where people visit to experience the traditional Russian culture. The fascinating terrain of this republic is surrounded by the majestic Altai Mountains and packed with thousands of serene lakes and lush green alpine meadows.

A major part of the republic of Altay makes for protected areas with biodiverse reserves created to house umpteen varieties of wildlife species, including argali mountain sheep and snow leopards. Other attractions of Atlay include the pictorial Lake Teletskoye and the 4,506 meters high Mt. Belukha.

The Russian Tundra

The Russian Tundra makes up for around one-tenth of the total territory of the country of Russia. Spread across a thin coastal belt and featuring a maximum width of around 500 kilometers, the Tundra is a marshy treeless plain.

The soil of the Tundra region carries surplus moisture due to the low temperatures, which is the reason why this place does not experience a continuous and proportionate vegetation cover. The Russian Tundra features mostly bare grounds with some areas covered with lichens and mosses. Brimming with a rich wildlife population, the Tundra region lets you spot, reindeer, Arctic foxes, snowy owls, musk oxen, ptarmigan, lemmings, and beavers.
