Tour UU-1-6. Cultural Experience: Buryat People, 4-6 hours
The ancestors of the modern Buryats are Mongols who made their home near Lake
Baikal long before Genghis Khan swept through Asia during the early thirteenth
century and have remained in the area until modern times. Sharing land, as well
as cultural traditions, political structure and certain norms of interrelation
with other nations of Lake Baikal region, the Buryat People developed their
original culture in which centuries-old traditions interweave with influences of
recent ages, and managed to preserve it despite all troubles that the nation
came through during its history. After 1990 there was a rapid revival of Buryat
shamanism, and the number of shamans increases to this day. Buddhism also
revived, and new temples have been built in most major Buryat towns. The
teaching of the Buryat language has been re-instituted in schools and writing of
poetry, literature, and history about Buryatia in both Buryat and Russian
flourish without ideological controls. Today there are about 250,000 Buryats
living in the Republic of Buryatia out of 520,000 of all Buryats in the world.
Legend tour invites you to experience history and culture of this ancient
people, taste their cuisine and see a fascinating folklore performance.
