Active trekking on Lake Baikal

Today we will climb one of the most famous peaks of the Tunka Chars – Lyubov Peak 2124 m (takes about 4-6 hours).

We take a snack, tea or water (at least 1 liter per person), a blouse or jacket, a raincoat and hit the road.

Our road will pass through the taiga forest, giving way to rocks closer to the top.

At the top we relax, take pictures and admire the breathtaking panorama of mountains and forests.

Then we go down to Arshan village.

Meals: self-catering.

Transfer to the village of Mondy.

From the bridge over the White Irkut River, we will set off along the ancient trail to the Nuhu-Daban pass (about 2.8 km).

The trail passes through the famous rock with a hole.

This arch is considered a sacred “place of power.”

According to tradition, an offering should be made here to the owner of the mountains.

According to legend, the hero Gesar Khan, in pursuit of a magical silver fox, made the shortest path for himself by shooting an arrow through a passage in a mountain wall that became an obstacle on his path.

That's how the sacred gate appeared.

Then a walk along the summer trail towards Munku-Sardyk (we do not climb the peak).

Be sure to take at least 1 liter of water with you!

Return to Mondy.

Free time.

Meals: self-catering.

Walk along the shore along the trail to a very picturesque point of the lake — Mount Skriper (6-7 hours).

The Skriper Rock is a large isolated mountain range composed of a rare rock on Lake Baikal — the Jurassic conglomerate.

At an altitude of 200 meters from the lake level, there is a cave in which an ancient human site has been discovered.

At first, the trail goes right along the shore with a magnificent view of the lake, and then it goes into the forest and winds along the serpentine to an observation point.
