FEATURED DESTINATION:
TOP 7 ATTRACTIONS AROUND LAKE BAIKAL
|
For many travelers, Lake Baikal is a popular destination and a stopover on the Trans-Siberian railway. Included in UNESCO's list of World Heritage sites, it's the planet's deepest and oldest lake.
Irkutsk, the unofficial capital of the Baikal region, is both a modern city and excellent introduction to Siberia's past. This is where most of the tourists arrive to stay a night before moving on to either Listvyanka, or Olkhon Island.
Listvyanka - a resort village and the closest access point to Lake Baikal. Listvyanka houses numerous museums, shops, cafes, saunas, and more. It offers a variety of tours from boat and horse rides, to trekking, hiking, rafting, or rock climbing.
Olkhon is the largest island in Lake Baikal. The population of the island is less than 1,500 and consists mostly of indigenous Buryats. Olkhon Island is a spiritual epicenter for ancient shamanism. The panoramic views from the island are amazing.
How to get there: The most interesting and scenic way to get to Irkutsk is via train from Khabarovsk - this is the most scenic stretch of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. If you're in a hurry, though, Aeroflot and IrAero operate multiple nonstop flights per week between Khabarovsk and Irkutsk. Yakutia Airlines also operates frequent flights with connections through Yakutsk, and there are daily flights between Moscow and Irkutsk.
Top attractions: We've assembled a list of the top 7 attractions around Listvyanka and Olkhon Island for you to enjoy during your stay at Lake Baikal. Read more...

TRAVEL TECHNOLOGIES THAT CAN MAKE YOUR RUSSIA TRIP EASIER
|
With the help of travel online technologies and numerous apps, you can navigate Russia more easily than ever. Below is a list we've assembled that can make you trip less daunting.  Russia Travel Guide by Triposo offers you complete and up to date city guides for Moscow, St.Petersburg and many other travel destinations including cities in the Russian Far East and Siberia, such as Khabarovsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Vladivostok, Yakutsk, Magadan, Anadyr, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, and others. Explore dining options, hotels, sightseeing, activities, nightlife, and more! The app features an offline map of Russia and offline city maps for all major cities.  With Google Translate, you can say or type a sentence in English, and a computer voice actually says the translation in Russian (or hold up your smartphone screen to show someone the written translated message).  Yandex.Maps is a very accurate app which builds routes and gives directions for driving, walking and using public transportation. It also shows you traffic levels rated from 1 to 10 points. Other options may include Google maps, Apple maps, or 2-Gis, a street map app with over 250 Russian towns available on it (in Russian only).
 A few years ago travelers had to buy tickets and view train timetables at the station - a nerve-wracking prospect even for Russian-speakers. Now you can do it on the website of Russian Railways.
Domestic and international flights can be purchased from a smartphone at Any Way, Any Day (anywayanyday) or visit their website version.
 KamchatKarta (in Russian only) is a travel app for the Kamchatka peninsula. It offers a detailed map and up to date addresses and contact information of local organizations in Kamchatka.
 Love postcards? With apps like SnapShot Postcard, you can snap a photo with your phone and turn it into a custom postcard, which will be printed and sent via snail mail to anywhere you want.
If you know any other apps or travel resources that can be useful during trips in Russia, let us know.

Ecologist Chris Morgan travels to far eastern Russia, in search of the Siberian tigers that hold rank in the frozen forests. The film features the work of Korean cameraman Sooyong Park, the first individual ever to film Siberian tigers in the wild. Park spent years in the forest tracking and filming the world's biggest cat. Park's tracking technique was unconventional, but produced more than a thousand hours of wild tiger footage and captured the saga of a Siberian tiger dynasty. Morgan spends time with Park, learning firsthand just how hard it was for him to achieve his remarkable accomplishment. This film premiered October 10, 2012. Siberian Tiger Quest won Best Human/Wildlife Interaction, Best Presenter/Host, and tied for Best Cinematography at the 2013 International Wildlife Film Festival! | | NATURE | Siberian Tiger Quest Preview | PBS |
