Chara Sands
Zabaikalsky Krai is proud of its Chara Sands. The desert is stunning, especially because of the fact that it is located in the middle of a wasteland totally frozen all year round. There are mountains covered in snow around. The desert is not spacious (5×10 sq kilometres). However, the dune themselves are huge. More than that, they keep shifting. It’s even hard to tell how they appear! You can reach the site from BAM or you can try the Baikal-Amur Mainline too.

Lena Pillars
In Krasnoyarsky Krai you can see the Lena Pillars. These natural structures are reminiscent of a Chinese stone forest or the Giants’s Causeway situated in Northern Ireland. The pillars are older than 500 million years. They contain the fossils and skeletons of bisons, rhinoceros and mammoths. Some of the pillars are 100 metres tall. They run for around 40 kilometres along the river. You can get closer to the pillar if you take a boat ride. The closer you get to them, the more enigmatic and fabulous they appear. Remember to take photos – there are not too many places where you can see such magnificent pillars.
