Description

Type: Multi-day activity
* We are going to the Trans-Baikal Territory, to the valley of the Chara River, where there is a unique natural landscape – the Charsky desert or Charsky sands. And we're going to photograph all this charming Wonder, or just look at it, if you're not a photographer. But we are traveling at an unusual time - in winter. In recent years, this natural site and photographic location have become increasingly recognizable and popular. Not only tourists, but also many landscape photographers tend to come here. But there aren't many people here in winter, and there aren't many winter photos to be found online. We will try to use this advantage. In addition, in winter you can enter the sands by car, and in summer only by snowmobile. And this circumstance makes it possible not to spend the night in the sands, but to come here for filming every day. Accordingly, it will be possible to spend the night somewhere in more comfortable conditions. Unlike the hiking format that we offer here in May, it is almost impossible and unnecessary in winter. Therefore, in order to avoid the extreme conditions of travel and filming, we will be based in the village of Novaya Chara and spend the night in a private house. And we will go to the shooting every day in a passable car. We will use the opportunity to drive to Pisky in winter for our work. Additionally, we can, for example, set aside one day for a trip to Lake Zarod. We recommend combining an airplane and a train in logistics. But here everyone has to evaluate their own capabilities over time, and it also depends on which part of the country you have to travel from.
