Ulan Ude. The Taiga Pitch is a new campsite, still in the making just outside the city, at the foot of forested hills and along the main road from/to Irkuts. It's a perfect place to grow into an overlanders meeting point. Right now it has a fence, pit toilets, potable water from a well and electricity. In the making: WiFi, showers, yurts, open-air kitchen (496 mtrs/June '18). gps: 51.917385, 107.473413
