    14:00-15:00 Check-in at the hotel.

    15:20-16:20 Lunch.

    16:30-18:30 Elista City Tour.

    Let's go for a walk around the city. We will walk through the city center, through the Seven Days Pagoda, which is the hallmark of our capital. It symbolizes the exit from samsara and the achievement of nirvana.

    The largest prayer drum in Europe, the Kurde, is installed in the Pagoda, which is filled with 75 million mantras. After making a wish, walk around it three times, and it will definitely come true!

    You will hear the music of the wind as you walk under the Golden Gate, decorated with 28 paintings by local artists.

    The Kalmyk people have a tragic page in their lives – the deportation of 1943-1957. We will visit the monument "Exodus and Return", dedicated to the victims of Stalinist repression, created by the outstanding contemporary sculptor Ernst Neizvestny.

    19:00 Dinner at a cafe/restaurant of national cuisine.
