Upon arrival in Irkutsk, your unforgettable journey will begin! (meeting place: Angara hotel or airport, the organizer will send the exact time the day before).
First, let's go to the village of Ust-Ordynsky and his datsan!
In the mid-90s of the XX century, during the revival of the traditional religions of Russia, the Tubden Darzhelin datsan appeared.
The datsan is located in the village of Ust-Ordynsky.
Lama Sergei Sutaev was appointed abbot.
He began the construction of a Buddhist temple known as dugan.
After visiting the datsan, we go to the National Museum of the Ust-Ordynsky Buryat District, founded on February 24, 1944.
The opening of the museum aimed to show and study the culture of the Western Buryats.
The museum has 7 halls, 4 of them with permanent exhibitions.
The main theme of the halls is about who we are among our family, nature and religion.
The first hall is also dedicated to archeology.
The museum has more than thirteen thousand items of exhibits, most of which are objects of ethnography, archeology, collections of paintings and graphics, photographic documents, etc.
On its territory there is an open–air complex "Buryat peasant manor of the late 19th - early 20th century", where there is a winter house, a traditional Buryat dwelling – a yurt, a barn.
After the museum, our journey continues, and on your way to Lake Baikal, you will stop at the Golden Horde Ethnic Park!
You will get acquainted with the ethnic and cultural identity of the indigenous population.
From the doorway, you will be hospitably greeted with a colorful purification ceremony with fire, khadak and white food.
