What flights do you recommend from the US or Europe to Kyzyl?
The easiest and standard way to get to Tuva from US or Europe is via Moscow. However the US has recently opened a Consulate in Vladivostok, so it should be getting easier to travel via Japan to Vladivostok and then either fly directly to Kyzyl or Abakan (with a 5 hour taxi ride to Kyzyl) or ride the trans-Siberian Railway. Here is how I would recommend doing it if you aren’t feeling that adventurous: Get to Moscow from the closest city to you that goes there. Then fly to Kyzyl or to Abakan (then Kyzyl with taxi ride). Or fly to Krasnoyarsk and connect to a flight to Kyzyl. For US to Russia flights I recommend a very nice and helpful Travel agent in Los Angeles CA: Riviera Travel (ask for Karen) (323) 466-1100 Riviera Travel & Tours Attn: Karen 6051 Hollywood Blvd Suite # 210 Los Angeles, CA 90028 Getting from Moscow to Kyzyl or Abakan: Two direct flights from Moscow to Kyzyl each week have been resumed as of fall 2007.
