Breakfast at the hotel.
The whole-day excursion "Two shrines of Lake Baikal".
Boarding a comfortable speedboat that will take us to Ogoy Island.
The Buddhist stupa, erected on Ogoy Island in the summer of 2005, is officially referred to as the Stupa of Enlightenment, the Conquest of demons, containing a statue of a Female form, the mother of all Buddhas.
In other words, this stupa belongs to the type of stupa in which various Buddhist relics are embedded.
We will take a boat through the waters of the Small Sea, admire the rocks of Olkhon Island, climb to the top of Ogoy Island, enjoy the silence, feel the incredible energy of this place and of course make a wish.
Then we go on the same boats to the island of Olkhon – to Khuzhir.
And here we have a wonderful view of the "calling card of Lake Baikal", one of the nine Shrines of Asia – Cape Burkhan or Shamanka Rock.
Shamanka was the most revered holy place on Lake Baikal, where sacrifices were made and vows were made since the appearance of the first shamans.
The cape cave was considered the residence of Eugene, the island's owner.
Shamanic rituals took place in the rock closest to the shore in a through cave, and later, after the Lamaization of the Buryats, there was an altar of the Buddha in it.
Here we transfer to the UAZ and go on a tour of the Baikal off-road.
The loaf – aka UAZ-car has already become one of the symbols of the tourist Baikal, and a trip on it is definitely on the list of travelers.
We are going on this tour in it – a highly passable and ideal car for traveling in this area, anticipating your questions: all cars are modern, with excellent cross-country ability.
North of Cape Burkhan there is a magnificent sandy beach of the Sarai Bay, which stretches for 3 km between Cape Burkhan and the village. The Harans.
Sandy ramparts hide cozy glades deep in the shore, surrounded by a pine forest.
Then we move to the north of the island to Cape Khoboy.
The Sandy tract – (miniature of the famous Sandy Bay).
Constant winds blowing from the sea carry sand from the shore and form sand deposits, which are called "Moving Sands".
At the edge of the forest, you can find stilted trees that have risen above the sand by 30-40 cm on their roots.
Their height is much lower than that of the famous stilt trees in the Sandy Bay.
Sagan-Khushun – "white cape" is an extremely picturesque rocky cape with a length of about 1 km.
Sagan-Khushun rocks are included in the list of natural monuments of Lake Baikal.
This place stands out among the monotonous coast with spectacular pyramid-shaped rocks, known to the local population as the "Three Brothers", the legend of which you will learn during the tour.
And here we have the main goal of our journey: Cape Khoboy.
Khoboy is a sacred place, a place of strength and powerful energy, the northernmost cape on the island of Olkhon.
In appearance, it resembles a sharp canine (just "canine" is translated as "hoboy" in Buryat).
After a walking tour to Cape Khoboy, we will have a picnic lunch with fish soup from Baikal fish.
Transfer to the hotel.
