Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Arrival in Ulan-Ude. The road to the village of Maksimikha

    The program starts at 10:00.

    After arriving in Ulan-Ude, your Baikal journey will begin. 

    After gathering the group, you will go towards the southern shore of the Barguzin Bay – the village of Maksimikha. 

    On the way, we will stop at the Sretensky Monastery. 

    The village of Baturino, located in the Zabaikalsky district, is home to the Sretensky Convent, the only Orthodox women's monastery in the Republic of Buryatia. 

    The monastery is located in the valley of the Itantsa River, among picturesque hills, just 50 km from Lake Baikal. 

    In the spring of 2000, Bishop Eustathius of Chita and Transbaikalia founded this monastery. 

    Despite its young age, the monastery already attracts many spiritual pilgrims. 

    Our path will also pass through the village of Turka.

    It is located on the east coast of Lake Baikal, 169 km from Ulan-Ude. 

    "Turka" in translation from Evenki means "omul road".

    The village is known for its picturesque nature and hot mineral springs, and is part of the Baikal Harbor special economic zone. 

    It is planned to build about 45 recreational facilities here: hotels, yacht clubs, cottage settlements, etc.

    On the way to Maksimikha, we will stop at the Turtle boulder, which is located in front of the Turk, officially recognized as a natural monument protected by the state.

    The boulder is named for a reason: it really looks like a turtle that has entered the water. 

    One of the most famous symbols of Turki is the lighthouse. 

    It entered the top 8 most interesting lighthouses in Russia. 

    In the evening in Maximikha you will have free time, if you wish, you can walk along the embankment or relax in a hotel room. 

    Tomorrow you will have a tour of the Chivyrkuy Bay. 

    You will see: Turk, lighthouse, Turtle boulder, Maximikha, Sretensky Monastery.
