Irkutsk – Olkhon - Shamanka Rock
Type of accommodation:Hotel
On: without power
In the first part of the trip, you will see the multifaceted Olkhon in all its manifestations: from the harsh beauties of the northern capes to the hot sandy beaches. You will find not only well-known “business cards” like Shamanka Rock, but also truly wild places with a real Baikal soul and the energy of the local ethnic group.
The road won't be boring either! Time will fly by unnoticed while chatting with an experienced guide and other members of the group. Try Buryat cuisine in local cafes. After the ferry crossing, you will settle down at the recreation center, where you will have time to relax a little.
In the evening, we will go for a walk around the surroundings, where we will find fascinating views of the lake and original shops with Baikal decorations. Among other things, we will visit the most famous place on the island – Shamanka Rock or Cape Burkhan, surrounded by sacred pillars of Serge and ancient legends.
And in the evening, on the coast, you will meet your first sunset in these parts. Believe me, he will not leave anyone indifferent. Tourists compare the bright, flaming Baikal sunsets with Balinese ones.
day 02
Olkhon - Cape Khoboy
Type of accommodation:Hotel
Included: breakfast, picnic lunch
On the second day, you will see the northernmost and most mysterious point of the island, one might say, the local “edge of the world” - Cape Khoboy. This place captivates fans of large-scale panoramas and places of power. On an exciting journey, the road away from civilization will seem rather bumpy, but the views of the mountains of the Primorsky Range and the endless waters of Lake Baikal make up for it in full.
After connecting with the spirit of Lake Baikal, you will have a picnic in a gazebo in the fresh air, after which we will set off on our way back. On the second day, you will create a personal collection of the most beautiful places: Cape Lyubov, Three Brothers Rock, Sandy Tract. Get acquainted with the sculpture of the Buryat artist Dasha Namdakov, which tourists loved for its remarkable appearance and made a favorite photo location.
You can spend the evening at your own discretion - relax in your room or take a walk along the shore.
day 03
Olkhon - Ogoy Island/south of Olkhon (optional)
Type of accommodation:Hotel
Included: breakfast
We suggest that you spend this day the way you want. Take a walk around the island on your own, which holds many more secrets and beauties, or relax on the beach with golden sand in a more relaxed manner. By the way, since the middle of summer, the water in the bays has been warming up, you can swim and sunbathe.
For those who are restless, we can arrange a ride on bicycles, ATVs or horses. If you haven't tried it, we especially recommend skiing. Sliding on a board on the blue surface, examining the rocky bottom, watching vacationers on the shore is a special pleasure that gives unity with the lake.
Or you can take another car trip to the south of the island to Khargoi Bay, Cape Kobylya Golova, lake "Heart" and the natural "castle" of Khula. The guide will tell you the legend of the Kurykans– a mysterious people who left the ruins of ancient buildings. On this trip you will discover even more panoramas of the lake!
At your discretion, another guided tour by speedboat to Ogoy Island is possible, with a stop at a healing spring and a Buddhist shrine, the Stupa of Enlightenment, at the base of which the sages once immured books and handwritten manuscripts. Together with your guide, you will perform an ancient ritual: you will walk around the building 7 times to get rid of heavy dark energy, find lightness and fulfill your innermost desires.
