Top 5 Unknown Beauty of Russia

If you are not interested in standard excursions or you have visited all the tourist places that you only know, then in this article we will offer 5 absolutely extraordinary, fascinating phenomena of nature that will not leave indifferent any person.

Man-Pupu-Ner Plateau, Republic of Komi

Surely you have heard about the world-famous Stonehenge in England, but you hardly know about the Man-Pupu-Ner Plateau (or, as they are also called, the pillars of weathering). The monument is located in the Troitsk-Pechora district of the Komi Republic, but not everyone will easily get to it. Therefore, if you are among the avid and, most importantly, hardy tourists, then the path to this place will not be difficult. At the moment, there are 5 options for visiting the Man-Pupu-Ner Plateau: automobile, walking, skiing, water routes, helicopter tours. Having coordinated the upcoming excursion with the administration of the reserve, you can enjoy the beauty of nature and get acquainted with the legends of these neighborhoods. For lovers of mysterious and fascinating landscapes, it is recommended to visit the pillars of weathering in fog or in winter. Unforgettable impressions are guaranteed!

Char sands, Trans-Baikal Territory

Undoubtedly, the Char sands are not inferior in their beauty to the desert of Egypt or the UAE. Walking through the golden barchans, you can feel like a Bedouin for a while. This place is unusual because it is surrounded by snow-white mountain ranges. It is recommended to visit Charsky Sands in the summer, because snow may fall in September. It is very difficult to get to these parts in the spring, when the rivers open from the ice. Arriving to admire the Char sands, you will be surprised by the water flowing from under the sands, which forms a stream.

Lake Kezenoy-am, Chechen Republic

Attract picturesque Austrian mountain scenery and lakes? If you do not have the opportunity to visit these places, do not worry! We offer to go to the Chechen Republic to Lake Kezenoy-am. It can be called the most real miracle of nature. The Chechen Republic is famous not only for its artistic crafts, but also for its truly fascinating nature. The excursion to the lake will be especially interesting not only for amateur photographers, but also for fishermen, because trout is found in water spaces. Fans of rest with a tent will definitely like this place!

Ivolginsky datsan, Buryat

For lovers of architecture and peaceful atmosphere, we recommend visiting the Buddhist monastery-datsan. For tourists who decided to look into this quiet corner, all the most interesting things have been created: on the territory there is the residence of the Hambo Lama, a library, a hotel, a museum, sacred stupas, lama houses, a roe deer enclosure, souvenir rows. There is also an information center where you can find out about accommodation in guest houses. Unlike other proposed tourist places, the location of the Ivolginsky datsan is very convenient: from Ulan-Ude 30-40 km (to the village of Upper Oriole).

Lake Elton, Volgograd region

Did you know that Russia has a real analogue of the Dead Sea in Israel? Yes, this is Lake Elton in the Volgograd region! If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, then this place will be a paradise for the soul. In addition, “mud baths”, which can be taken on Lake Elton together with the hot rays of the sun, have a therapeutic effect. We can safely say that it is absolutely safe to take children with you to the lake, because its depth is only a few centimeters. Therefore, this trip will not only benefit you, but also bring pleasure and joy to your children!

These and many other corners of our country are waiting for you to surprise with its beauty and once again prove that Russia is full of secrets and mysteries that have not yet been fully mastered by us. Travel with pleasure and discover new places!
