Once famously written up as unvisitable, Tuva remains a destination for the determinedly dedicated. For those few who go, the region offers not only shamanic cults, Buddhist centers, world-famous throat-singing and a living nomadic culture but also outdoor activities such as river rafting and riding that can also be enjoyed in neighboring Altay - one of the most beautiful parts of Siberia. The whole area is archaeologically rich; it was here that the fabulously-wealthy Kurgan warlords flourished and cannibal cults once practised their extreme cuisine in the region.
