Thanks to our wonderful guide Natalia Gomboeva and Metropol'-Ekspress agency for making our visit to this beautiful Tibetan Datsan unforgettable. Everything about the place was interesting - the location, offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains, the architecture - rather new-age but keeping traditional values, manipulate grounds with gorgeous flowers and trees, stunning Buddha statue inside, but most importantly, it was our guide’s knowledge of history, culture and Buddist religion that she kindly shared with us. If you are interested in finding a truly knowledge and gracious guide - ask the Metropol-express agency for Natalia Gomboeva!
