Kyzyl is the capital of the Republic of Tuva. It owes its fame to a peculiarity: its location corresponds to the geographical centre of Asia, marked by one of the most famous monuments in Siberia, consisting of an obelisk and a globe (on the banks of the Ulukh-Khem River, at the entrance to Komsomolskaya Street). Capital of a formerly nomadic people, Kyzyl proudly displays its pastoral roots: the Arat-Kadarchi monument (12 km from the centre, Kyzyl-Erzin road), Arat (Shepherd's) Square and other representations of horsemen. A little far from the Trans-Siberian Railway, but not so inaccessible, the city of the steppe is really worth the detour. If only for its landscapes and its atmosphere, which is so exotic... You will also discover the Tuva culture and shamanism, nowadays institutionalized and widely practiced.
