Organizer
Первый туроператор Калмыкии Приглашаем в Калмыкию — это край пустынь и степей между Кавказом и Каспием. Единственный регион в Европе с официальной религией буддизм. Путеводители по Калмыкии пишут, что это заповедный регион, где так легко проникнуться миролюбивыми идеями об единении всего живого, поймать «нирвану» и отдохнуть от кипучей жизни больших городов. В населенных пунктах вы увидите колоритные храмы, а за их пределами — бескрайние степи со стадами сайгаков.
