How is travelling in Buryatia compared to travelling in Tuva.

Buryatia and Tuva are neighbouring mongolic republics in siberia (I know Tuva speaks a turkic language but their culture is extremely similar to mongolian so ill include it here), I wonder which place is better to travel and which has a more authentic experience and where you could find richer culture. On the face value I would have said Tuva since it is 90% Tuvan (and increasing, they have one of the highest birth rates in russia) the Tuvan language is pretty strong (unlike buryat) and they are less russified. But when I look at Buryatia and Ulan ude, they have prettier temples, more larger monasteries, a more developed tourist infrastructure etc. I wonder what the the vibe is like travelling to these 2 republics and what are people's experience with these republics and how you enjoyed them.

If any of you have also been to Kalmykia (majority mongolic and buddhist but the language has died out there (more so than buryat)), Altai and yakutia (they are sometimes included in the uriankhai) feel free to comapre ti with Buryatia and Tuva. You can also include monoglia as a reference point since that is the country at the heart of mongolian culture (i went and i did see a large amount of soviet influnce there (but also korean)).
