Buryatia… This short tuneful word is the name of the region situated in the Eastern Siberia. In the North and in the West its territory is framed by world-famous sacred Lake Baikal and in the South by the endless steppe of Mongolia.

The location in the inner Asia, relief and remoteness from seas and oceans greatly determine the natural conditions of Buryatia.

Buryatia is a mountainous country. The highest point of in the western mountain chain is the Munku Sardyk (3491 m). “The Ancient Crown of Asia” is the name of this land.

Buryatia is a homeland of lakes, big and small, that form the most beautiful spots of nature. The deepest and the largest of them is the Baikal, the reservoir of the one fifth of the world’s reserves of fresh water of highest standards. Lake Baikal is a subject of spiritual worship and special concern. People call it the sacred sea.

Almost all the rivers of Buryatia carry their waters into the Baikal. The largest of them are the Selenga, the Barguzin and the Upper Angara. Only the wilful Vitim flows into the Lena – the great river of Siberia.

The vegetation and the fauna of Buryatia is rich. There is a great variety of unique and rare species that are found in the Red Book. World famous are such species as Barguzin sable, Baikal seal (nerpa) and omule. The rich flora of the region is inexhaustible treasure for the traditional oriental medicine.

The multinational character of the republic determines greatly the variety of modes of life. Friendliness and peacefulness, traditional respect for the elder and consideration for children distinguish the population of the republic.

Historically Buryatia emerged on the boundary of many cultures which got closely interwoven and mutually enriched. It is this fact that has become the foundation for the unique and distinctive culture of Buryatia.
