Ulan-Ude is the amazing capital city of republic Buryatia in Russia, situated in the east of fabulous Siberia. The name means "red Uda" or "red gate" in Buryat reflecting the communist ideology of the Soviet Union to which it belonged. Closed to foreigners until 1991, Ulan Ude is surrounded by vast, wild nature, boundless steppes, alpine and taiga forests, the landscapes are truly breathtaking and offer a plethora of opportunity for fans of the outdoors to enjoy horseback riding, hiking, trekking, boating and fishing. Decorated with Buddhist temples and a sprinkling of shamanism, this incredibly unique city offers a diverse landscape of culture, cuisine, religion and custom to the lucky few who choose to visit Ulan Ude. Approximately 100 km south-east of Lake Baikal and nestled between the Selenga and Uda Rivers is where you’ll find Ulan Ude, an ethnic and spiritual melting pot of European-Russian, Buryat Buddhist and Mongolian cultures and an unquestionable hub between Russia and the East. You will get acquainted with the three century history of the city, its development from the small settlement to the renowned merchant city. The Trans-Siberian Railway reached the city in 1900 causing an explosion in growth. Now Ulan-Ude is an old historic and cultural center in Siberia. One must not visit Ulan Ude without pausing for a moment to consider its colourful history, which is what makes Ulan Ude so unique.
