day 01
Jeeping through the Tajeran steppes, Valley of Stone Spirits, sunset in Khuzhir
Type of accommodation:Hotel
We will meet you in Irkutsk and embark on a real adventure — a jeep safari through the Tajeran steppes. They are compared with the Mongolian southern and dry steppes of Kazakhstan, and scientists estimate their age at 300-400 million years! Steppes stretch along picturesque bays, there are also purely steppe areas, and extensive pine forests, and picturesque rocky remnants.
We will see ancient petroglyphs, visit the valley of the Stone Spirits, climb the highest mountain of the Tagherans, Tan Khan, and visit the observation decks from which we will admire the water surface of the deepest lake in the world. These places are so deserted and endless that you can feel like you are the only one 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 in the "capital" of Olkhon Island — the village of Khuzhir — and meet the sunset with a view of the sacred place of Lake Baikal — Shamanka Rock (Cape Burkhan).
day 02
Khoboy, Three Brothers, Cape of Love and Uzura village
Type of accommodation:Hotel
After breakfast, a jeep safari awaits you again: this time we will go to the north of Olkhon — Cape Khoboy. We will drive through sand dunes, forest and steppe. You will observe the changing landscapes and admire the views from the highest points of the island's cliffs.
We will stop at the Three Brothers rock, or Sagan-Khushun, which translates as "white cape" — three protruding massifs ending in water. We will visit Cape Lyubov (Shunte), a high heart—shaped shore with magical powers, and the village of Uzura. You will hear many beautiful legends about shamans, their wives and children, and for lunch you will taste fish soup prepared by our driver.
day 03
Boat trip to Ogoy Island, Stupa of Enlightenment, free time
Type of accommodation:Hotel
In the morning, we will take a speedboat to Ogoy Island, famous for its snow-white Buddhist stupa of Enlightenment. Buddhist relics are kept inside it: texts, the water of all oceans and the land of holy places, minerals and tools, as well as a statuette of dakinis — demonic female creatures in Hindu mythology, to which this shrine is dedicated.
There will be free time after the tour. You can ride boots, take a horse ride along the shore of Lake Baikal, stroll along the 3-kilometer Saraysky beach barefoot or just sunbathe, look at souvenir shops and feel the powerful energy of the island.
day 04
Cape Khorgoi, Trident, Yalga Lake, ferry crossing and return to Irkutsk
Type of accommodation:Hotel
Today we will go back to Irkutsk, but first we will visit the south of Olkhon. We will visit Cape Khorgoy, from which we will admire the fascinating view of Ogoy Island, look at Cape Kobylya Golova and Lake Heart.
Then we will climb the Trident rock complex, covered with bright green lichen and resembling a dilapidated medieval castle with towers. It offers a charming panorama of Hull Bay. If the weather is right, we will swim in Yalga Lake. It is separated from Lake Baikal by a sandy spit and warms up well in summer — take your swimsuits with you.
We will have lunch outdoors — you will taste fish soup made from the freshest omul, local gingerbread and hot tea. Then we will take a ferry to the village of Sakhyurta, from where we will take a comfortable minibus to Irkutsk. In the afternoon, at one of the restaurants in the city, we will share our impressions of our trip with each other.
