The five jewels of the autumn Baikal. Educational tour

Today is a free day in Irkutsk. 

We offer several excursions to choose from, which are desirable to purchase when buying a tour.

A tour of the Circum-Baikal railway (starting from 7.00 a.m. to 21.00 p.m. (the exact time on the ticket). 

The tour is interesting because the road runs along the steep cliffs that descend directly to the lake. 

The Baikal Railway is considered unique and is a historical and cultural complex! 

You will see tunnels, stone galleries, bridges and viaducts. 

And all this is 85 km away! 

The meeting place of the group is on the ticket or voucher for the tour. 

We can offer a boat trip to Sandy Bay. 

The tour is conducted only on Lake Baikal, it will be almost impossible to get there on your own. 

You will see unique natural monuments, rocks, a sandy beach and stilted trees. 

And another equally interesting car tour to the Tunka Valley, where you will see the Bolshoy Vostochny Sayan massif in the south of Lake Baikal. 

All excursions end in the evening, return to Irkutsk.

The power is on: breakfast.

We have an early breakfast and move (approximately from 8-30 to 17 o'clock) as part of a team group to Olkhon Island in the village of Khuzhir along a picturesque highway, noticeably different from the road to the village of Listvyanka (escorted by 6 people). 

The steppe landscape already prevails here, and in the distance, to the right and left, the mountains behind which Lake Baikal is located will be visible. 

At a stop on the way, we have lunch at a roadside cafe, here you can try the national dish of buuza (payment at your own expense).

We drive up to Lake Baikal (the Strait of the Small Sea) and move by ferry.

The Olkhon Gate will open the eastern side of Lake Baikal in front of you. 

We drive about 30 km. along the island of Olkhon along a country road to the village of Khuzhir.

There are no paved roads here.

Here we check into the tourist base. 

Accommodation in rooms depends on the selected option.

A short walk will introduce you to the village and the famous sacred place of Shamanka.

Dinner on your own in the cafe of the village. 

We advise you to try bouzas, khushurs, bovas, buchler, etc., or just have a picnic on the shore.

The length of Olkhon Island is 80 km and today we have a trip to its north.

When entering the Baikal National Park, we show a permit (it will be issued to the driver beforehand). 

On the way, visit the legendary "Three Brothers" rock and the romantic Cape of Love.

From the northern point of the island there is a view of both shores of Lake Baikal. 

Khoboy means "fang" in translation. 

A certain energy is manifested on the cape, so it serves as a place of meditation for various spiritual schools. 

In these places, it is not recommended to get angry, shout and swear.

A Buddhist Stupa is a structure with a cult significance and means "support for offerings" in translation.
