Ural vs. Maldives. Lake Turgoyak
Ural vs. Maldives. Not everyone knows, not many people remember I started with small posts for Instagram, so to say tourist battle, that trips to the Urals are no worse than trips to the Maldives.
It was called “Ural vs. Maldives”. This trip is over two years old, but it's as valuable as the others, you know why? Because the sand, the color and the composition of the water, and most importantly, are my desires. Let me explain!
It was a completely different plan at first, but our lives are so unpredictable and everything has turned out better than I expected.
Yes, Turgoyak was one of my 50 wishes, but I crossed out 2. When my second wish came true, I didn’t even think about it.
Do you remember the story of the snotty dreams of a bird or how to make wishes? It was on my Instagram. Well, no one gave me a Kinder this time. Every year after the New Year, I prescribe 50 wishes (from the most banal, for example, to go to the movies, to the most unreal, to meet the dawn in a balloon).
Going means such on the yacht and then I click that this is one of the wishes that I made this year, but did not expect that it will come true here (to ride a yacht).
So what happens, Turgoyak is not only a beautiful place, but also magical? I'm sure!
So what's with the Maldives? Sand and water are the main components of these places, the only thing that tells you that you are not on the islands, are needles in the sand.
By the way, there are also islands there (for example, the island of Vera, we were there too). It has a history associated with archaeological research, the history of the Old Believer hermitage and legends, yachts, sapas and catamarans, on which you can get to the right place.
The nearest peaks (by the way, near Nurgush, Iremel, Taganai and Sonkin Laguna) I called tea plantations, from afar resembled these beautiful places.
The advantage of our “Ural Maldives” is that it is not necessary to pay hundreds of thousands to lie on the white sand near the blue water (white sand already flaunts in my home in a bottle of black sand from Kamchatka).
But the water here is considered almost as clean as in Baikal, and in general, Turgoyak is called the brother of the deepest lake - it is like that!
This place will be interesting to you as a noble traveler (there are recreation centers and all conditions for a comfortable stay) and as an avid tourist who loves to live in tents (there are specially designated for this place).
You can get there, both by yourself and with travel agencies, our road took about 8 hours by minibus. Flying abroad, remember that in Russia there are many beautiful places no worse than the islands with advertising Bounty, which are worth visiting.
