Steppe is the landscape of large meadows with tempered climate in drz regions. It is also called tampa in Latin America. In Russia, mz first steppe has been the one in the south of Buriatie republic close to Mongolian border. I expect to see more of it towards Altai and later along the border with Kayakhstan.

The republic of Buriatie has its own anthem, its parlament, and its capitale is Ulan Ude. This city is a true mix of religions and nationalities living together in peace, but buddhism represents the main religion. It is present via numerous temples and monasteries called datsan. The biggest is Ivolga, which is also the center for buddhism relgion in Russia.
