Olkhon is the largest of 26 islands on Lake Baikal. It is called the "heart of Baikal". It is the geographical, historical and sacral center of the lake. Here, according to local legend, the Buryat people appeared and the first Buryat shaman received his shamanic talent. Olkhon is tremendously rich in local originality, shamanism, ancient Buryat legends and beautiful views of the lake. We recommend you to visit Cape Burkhan and Shamanka Rock.
Accommodation at a holiday center upon arrival. Dinner - at the holiday center.
You take a tour to the northern extremity of Olkhon – Cape Khoboy (10:00-16:00). On the tour you enjoy the magnificent Baikal views, listen to ancient Buryat legends and visit some places of shamanic power. Dinner - at the holiday camp.
10:00-16:00 Transfer to Irkutsk
We spent many hours at the agency planning a tour of Baikal, but it was worth it! The employee with whom we developed the program was very kind and very thorough, and so were her colleagues who tolerated staying for hours with the air conditioner off as I had a bad cold.
The excursion to the Circum-Baikal Railway was very interesting, I discovered that some of the architects who built the tunnels came from Friuli Venezia Giulia, the region where I live in Italy. Extremely cooperative staff and guides. During the days in Listvyanka, the speedboat trip to Peschanaya Bay was really exciting: wonderful landscapes, and the group, together with the guide, extremely close-knit. The visit to the "Taltsy Architectural and Etnographic Museum", the "Baikal Limnological Museum" and the "Aquariums", as recommended, very interesting.
But the most enchanting experience were the days spent on Olkhon Island. UAV excursions in the midst of dream landscapes, here too the driver-guide and group are very close-knit and affectionate. Excellent accommodation with large, clean room overlooking the lake. Everything went smoothly, the minibuses were always on time. An unforgettable and also inexpensive experience. I hope to return one day and maybe do it again!
