MIR whose name means “peace” and “world” in Russian, has specialized in tours to Russia (and neighboring countries) for 23 years.
Seattle, WA, October 21, 2009 — MIR Corporation, a tour operator specializing in destinations at the crossroads of Europe and Asia for over 20 years, is proud to announce three new small group tours for the 2010 travel season, including a new tour to Russia, a new tour to Mongolia and a new Silk Road tour:
*Siberian Odyssey: Legends of Tuva, Lake Baikal & Buryatia.
Travelers can join a special tour to Russia exploring South Siberia – including the regions of Tuva, Khakassia and Buryatia – a remote and atmospheric land where mounted Scythians thundered across the steppe long ago. On this interactive journey, travelers will have opportunities to meet the locals of Tuva and the Khakass people, as well as the Buryats of UNESCO-listed Lake Baikal.
Dates & prices for this tour to Russia are available at http://www.mircorp.com.
*Mongolia’s Golden Eagle Festival.
On this unusual tour to Mongolia, travelers explore UlaanBaatar and Gorkhi-Terelj National Park before flying to Mongolia’s westernmost province, which lies in the shadow of the Altai Mountain. Here on the rocky ridges overlooking the snow-dusted steppe, a dwindling number of ethnic Kazakhs carry on a 6,000-year-old tradition, hunting with magnificent Golden Eagles.
Dates & prices for this tour to Mongolia are available at http://www.mircorp.com
*The Pamir Highway & Across Fabled Frontiers.
The Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan are some of the most rugged and beautiful on Earth, soaring upward where the Himalayas, the Tien Shan and the Hindu Kush meet. This adventurous journey over the Pamir Highway is a breathtaking route, in use since the time of the Silk Road.
