There are a few places in Laganya where you can have a snack. If you want variety, try exotic cuisine, then you have the wrong address. Most places offer everything from soups to fried fish. The average lunch or dinner will cost 200-250 rubles.

In Lagani you can find a couple of places, for example, the cafe "Hadris", where you can try the dishes of Kalmyk cuisine. What should I try? Large dumplings, milk, cheese, milk, butter, salt and nutmeg. In addition, tortillas in mutton fat and araku are milk vodka

Shops

There is not enough cafe in Lagani, but full of grocery stores. It seems that they were discovered almost for every fifth inhabitant. There are big ones like the supermarket "Mega", and a smaller one, where everything you need is sold, from chips to Kalmyk tea.

Kalmyk souvenirs can be found in Lagani. For example, the famous Kalmyk stone, in the reference books it is named as opal and agate. It can be white or milky. Looks good. Surely it is some kind of healing or, at least, useful for the destiny of the person who wears it.

Lahani Hotels

In this city, hotels can sometimes hide in unexpected places. Let's say you see a sign with the indication that there is a sauna. And there - bang! - hotel. So if you are sent to spend the night, for example, on the vegetable store, do not be surprised.

The hotels "Alenushka" and "Ulan-Zalata" are known in Lagani. They are designed for tourists and travelers. If you came here in the winter or autumn, then you can not worry about the places - they will definitely be. In the midst of summer it is better to clarify. Suddenly Lagan is experiencing an unprecedented influx of tourists who came here to go fishing. The hotels offer standard rooms and a junior suite. Accommodation will come from 1000 rubles per day

2 things that must be done in Lagani:
  1. Make a wish before the drum - before the Buddhist temples in Lagani there are hurde, prayer drums. Want to make your wish come true - roll the drum clockwise and bypass it three times. Another performer of desires is the Stupa with the Buddha figure. He receives gifts and also asks for something. Unfortunately, no one conducts statistics on the fulfillment of wishes.
  2. To see the flowering of pink lotuses - on the Volga there are whole plantations of these flowers. The lotuses blossom from late July to September. They can be seen in the delta of the river, where the Volga falls into hundreds of small rivers. Here, lotuses grow right in the water, replacing the river smooth surface.

Entertainments, excursions and sights of Lagani

In the Caspian city it is worth to visit the Buddhist temple, go fishing, and then visit the lotus valley.

Local History Museum

@ This is a branch of the Kalmyk Museum, which tells about the history of the region. People of many nationalities live in Lagani - Russians, Kalmyks, Tatars, Chechens, Dargins and others. Ethnographic expositions are constantly replenished. The most popular halls are devoted to the culture and life of the Kalmyks, the nature of the region, the stories of the first settlers

Lotus Valley

In the East, the lotus is considered a sacred flower. Buddhists appreciate it for its beauty and unique healing properties. The valley is in the delta of the Volga - there are excellent conditions for flowering lotuses. They reach a height of more than 2 meters.

It is best to observe them in the first half of the day - then the flower opens completely. Before sunset, this beauty you will not catch.

As there are lotuses in the delta of the Volga, it is for certain unknown. According to one version, the seeds of the plants were brought here by birds. Another option gives preference to Buddhist monks: they came and sowed.

Lagan Khurul

Lagan Khurul is a Buddhist temple. The money for its construction was donated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama XIV. Lama gave Khurulu a tank - an icon on which Buddha Shakyamuni is depicted, as well as plaster prints of his hands. These are the main relics of the temple.

The icons in Khurul are made on fabric. The most revered are the tanks with the faces of Amitayus, Maitreya, the White Elder and Tara. Each deity brings to the person something pleasant: happiness, luck, longevity, etc.

Fishing

There are a lot of canals in Lagani going to the Caspian Sea where you can fish. For tourists are open houses - here you can live a couple of days, rent from the owner of a boat. All the pleasure will cost rubles to 300-400 per day.

They say that the biting in Lagani is excellent. It's great to catch perch, pike, rudd, sazan and crucian carp.
