Legends of Lake Baikal and sacred springs

Cape Khoboy is a sacred place with incredible views of the Baikal Ridges and amazing natural energy.

Together with our guide, you will immerse yourself in the world of ancient myths and legends.

The group will perform small rituals to appease the local gods.

With their patronage, the road will pass without problems. 

Let's go by UAZ SUVs, or "loaf". 

Even the route to the cape will be a real event. 

You will see dense forests, steppes, sand dunes and high cliffs. 

During the journey, our guide will tell you about the many legends associated with the history of the island.

Cape "Lyubov", rock "Three Brothers", "Sandy tract", sculpture by Dasha Namdakov "Keeper of Lake Baikal" – we will make a stop at each memorable place.  

But most of the legends have been preserved about Hoboy. 

When you go down the slope, surrounded on all sides by the boundless waters of Lake Baikal, everything inside shrinks with delight! 

Since ancient times, there has been a lively and wild energy of renewal at this point.

You can feel it in the air, in the grass, even in the way the sun shines. 

Here you can feel yourself on the edge of the world!

Then, right under the clear Olkhon sky, we will have a small but very tasty picnic.

Let's give ourselves up to the moment and properly enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature!

Included: breakfast, lunch picnic.

You can spend your free day at your discretion.

Take a walk around the neighborhood of Khuzhir, sit in one of the cafes. 

We recommend a ride on the sap boards: from the water there are interesting angles to the Shamanka rock and the coastline. 

You can also go on one of the presented excursions for an additional fee.

The excursion to Ogoy Island will take place on a speedboat. 

We will make a stop at the holy spring with healing water enriched with silver ions.

On the island itself, we are most interested in the Buddhist Stupa of Enlightenment. 

Walk around it 108 times and achieve enlightenment – the main goal of Buddhism! 

But you don't have to walk that much. 

For example, in order to just make a wish, it is enough to go 7 times. 

There is incredible energy on the fire, so it will definitely come true! 

A car tour of the island is an opportunity to see the best views of Olkhon, secluded bays and interesting places with their own history. 

You will find stunning landscapes on the coast of Khuzhir, the Buddhist Stupa of Enlightenment, the Small Sea and open Lake Baikal. 

Our guide will tell you the legends about the birch tree in the Seven Towers and about the mysterious Kurykan wall.

The route will pass through Khargoi Bay, Cape Kobylya Golova, lake "Heart" and the amazing natural castle "Hula". 

It will be incredibly beautiful, interesting and magical!

Included: breakfast.

Get enough sleep and have breakfast in a leisurely and peaceful environment. 

Today we are leaving the shores of Lake Baikal. 

Be sure to come back – there are miracles here that are worth it! 

Transfer to Irkutsk. 

In our free time, we will walk along the central streets. 

The city is known for a large number of preserved historical wooden buildings.

Many houses have been adapted to the modern needs of the townspeople. 

You can see them in the 130 block. 

Here you will also see a statue of a beaver, the coat of arms of the Irkutsk region. 

We recommend you to take a look at the well-groomed Kirov Square, the blooming Yunost Island and the landscaped Lower Embankment. 

Each location reveals the appearance of Irkutsk from a new perspective. 

The next day, we continue our spiritual journey with renewed vigor!

Included: breakfast. 

Let's go to the beautiful “Siberian Switzerland"! 

Arshan is famous for its picturesque views, green meadows and mountain waterfalls. 

You will see only the best! 

On the way, you can admire the endless steppes of the Tunka Valley and the dense forests that replace them. 

And at the entrance to the village, the snow-capped ridges of the Sayan Mountains will appear in front of you.

We check into a hotel in Arshan. 

You will have some time to rest, after which we will go to the market. 

Here you can buy souvenirs from Mongolia and herbal preparations, including the famous Sagan-Dailya. 

We set off along the mountain trail along the stormy Kyngyrgi river. 

Here you can get cold and hot mineral water for yourself, and upstream you can visit the famous eye spring. 

You will also see a statue of a boy installed here with a jug from which healing water flows. 

Be sure to taste it! 

There are sprawling forests and picturesque mountain views ahead. 

The spring freshness and beauty of these places is amazing! 

The path to the waterfall can be overcome at a calm walking pace. 

Crashing against the mountain boulders, the water splashes in different directions.

It seems that at any moment these stone masses will fall down the river! 

But no – they are tightly soldered to each other. 

Only nature can create such unusual stone sculptures! 

On the way back closer to the village, we will try the water from the mineral springs again. 

In the evening, the whole company will gather for the last time to share the emotions of the whole trip.

Included: breakfast.

We will visit the village of Zhemchug. 

The water in the local hot springs has unique healing properties. 

The composition of water includes methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and radon. 

For an additional fee, you can swim in these springs. 

After the trip to Zhemchug, we get into a comfortable minibus and return to Irkutsk. 

Arrival is approximately at 19:00. 

This is where our adventure comes to an end. 

See you soon!

Included: breakfast.
