Whatever images the thought of Siberia conjures up, it’s so much more than sprawling, barren, freezing tundra. Its vast reach covers more than five million square miles and the scenery varies wildly from endless steppes to dense taiga thickets to lush green forests packed with rare and beautiful flora and fauna. It has soaring mountains set with sparkling, icy lakes, pretty cities whose streets are lined with historic architecture and charming outlying towns surrounded by ancient temples.
Discover the adventures that lie within this motley of group of terrains. Hike and trek in the glorious Altai Mountains and raft the white waters of glacial rivers. Explore the islands and shores of Lake Baikal - the jewel of Siberia. One of the deepest and purest lakes in the world, its magical drawing force is not to be resisted. You can even take a private helicopter ride and experience these stunning landscapes from the air. Meanwhile, in an area far greater than the USA but with only one tenth of the population, meeting local Siberian people from many diverse ethnic groups and experiencing their indigenous cultures and colorful customs is all part of the journey, from the Buryat shamans to the throat singers of Tuva.
