day 01
From Irkutsk to Olkhon, Tagheran steppes, Shamanka rock
Type of accommodation:Hotel
We will meet you at the hotel of your stay, if you are already vacationing in Irkutsk, or in another place by agreement, and we will go to Olkhon, making stops along the way. We will have lunch and look at the bronze monument "The Tramp" to the hero of the Russian folk song "Across the wild steppes of Transbaikalia". The figure of the wanderer stands in a picturesque place, offering a fascinating panorama of the lake and the Olkhon ferry. I'll tell you about shamanism, and we'll appease the local spirits.
Then you will have a guided tour of the Tajeran steppes, estimated by scientists to be 300-400 million years old! They are compared to the Mongolian southern and dry steppes of Kazakhstan. The steppes stretch along picturesque coves, and they are so deserted and endless that you can feel like you are the only ones in the universe here, feel harmony with nature, slow down and recharge with the strong energy of these places.
In the evening, we will arrive on Olkhon, the largest island of Lake Baikal, and walk to the sacred Shamanka rock with two peaks (Cape Burkhan), where, according to legend, the main deity of Lake Baikal lives.
day 02
Ogoy, Stupa of Enlightenment and ice caves
Type of accommodation:Hotel
After breakfast we will visit the southern part of the island. You will see ice caves, as if from fantasy films, and learn about the types of ice. We will visit Ogoy Island, where there is a snow-white stupa of Enlightenment. Inside it are various Buddhist relics and a bronze statuette of the mother of all Buddhas. It is believed that with certain actions here you can make a wish that will surely come true. After that we will return to Irkutsk.
