Itinerary

Day 1 - Arrival in Irkutsk. The road to Olkhon Island
After gathering the group in Irkutsk, you will go towards the most popular place on Lake Baikal – Olkhon Island.
Olkhon is an island, and it is accessed via a ferry crossing.
Your way to the ferry crossing will be along the "Martian Road", as our tourists often say about the Tagheran steppes.
These are kilometers of open space, in some places picturesquely decorated with rocky remnants, where the road winds like a snake between hills and hills.
After crossing to the island, you will find a road to the center of Olkhon – the village of Khuzhir, where you will settle at the recreation center.
In the evening, you will have free time, which you can spend exploring the surroundings of the village.
Within walking distance is the business card of Lake Baikal, the most popular, recognizable and at the same time energetically strong location – Cape Burkhan, Shamanka rock.
We will go for a walk there at sunset – the rays of the setting sun color the waters of Lake Baikal with burning shades.
You will have a rest before tomorrow's active and full of new impressions day!
Included in the price: group transfer, accommodation, lunch on the way to Olkhon.

Being near the edge of the cape, Lake Baikal seems endless, its greatness and spaciousness are felt!
You will also visit Cape of Love (or Cape Shunte-Left).
Locals say that childless couples used to come to the cape, and after the rituals and prayers, they soon had children.
It is believed that the cape has not lost its magical power to this day.
In addition, as part of the tour, you will capture Cape Sagan-Khushun (or "Three Brothers"), a sheer cliff of snow–white marble.
After that, you will go further along the island: there are picturesque steppes around and suddenly an almost eight–meter bronze sculpture in the form of an unusual tree appears in front of your eyes - this is the creation of the famous sculptor Dasha Namdakov "Keeper of Lake Baikal", his gift to Lake Baikal.
In the middle of the day, you will strengthen your strength by eating a fragrant lunch against the backdrop of beautiful Baikal nature!
The tour takes place with stops in the most beautiful places where you can take wonderful photos for memory.
