background
The Transbaikalia region was created through the merger of the Chita Oblast with the Agin Buryats Autonomous Okrug.
The Chita region resembles Buryatia in the great diversity and beauty of its landscapes. However, it is far less visited than its western neighbor. The Chita Oblast owes its importance to Russia primarily to its proximity to China. As such, it served as a starting point for international trade, migration, and even war. Today the Chita area has a large Russian military presence - for this reason Chita was a "closed settlement" during the Soviet era.
language
About 50 languages are spoken in Transbaikalia. The most common are Russian, Buryatsky, Ukrainian, and Belarusian.

is about 13.5 km west of Tschita. It has a stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway. There are airlines from Moscow-Ural Airlines and S7 (Siberia) with regular flights. Direct flights to / from Yekaterinburg are available. For Moscow, it is recommended that everyone in Chita take the train to Irkutsk and fly from there, as it is much cheaper. There is also an occasional connection to Beijing twice a week via Hailer with Air China, but this is regularly canceled, so you have to take the train.By train
Chita is the main arrival point for most visitors, usually with the Trans-Siberian Railway although the main Baikal-Amur route also runs through the more remote north of Chita Oblast.

security
You should prepare for extreme climates, especially in winter you need suitable clothing to protect yourself against the cold. It is helpful, whenever possible, to use local sources of information to be warned of floods, forest fires, etc. There are forbidden areas that you should avoid as much as possible.
Nature is very pristine and represents a danger for the inexperienced. If you are in the forest, you should watch out for snakes, which usually warm up in the sun on the stones. There aren't many of them around, but some could be venomous vipers. The other problem these (and other regions of the Northern Hemisphere) have is ticks. Your bites may be infectious, vaccinations are recommended.
One should never stray further from human settlements without the appropriate equipment and leave the path, destination and intended period of the hike or rafting tour behind with every tour.
