The lotus blossom awaits us in the best possible summer adventure. 

At the end of summer, a comfortable train will take us to the magical land, where we will have the opportunity to swim in the salt lake Baskunchak, taste the fruits of Astrakhan melons and, of course, take away with us memorable photos, including those with beautiful lotuses, which are few in the world.
