• Group meeting at 8:00. We will immediately go to the village of Listvyanka, located on the shore of Lake Baikal. Our transport for today is a Hivus, a hovercraft. • The first day and a great adventure are ahead. The journey will take place along the legendary Circum-Baikal Railway, the most expensive and beautiful railway in Russia! You'll often find yourself thinking, "Isn't this where the footage of the Harry Potter train crossing the bridge was shot?" • We will race on a khivus across the crystal ice of Lake Baikal under the amazing stories of a professional guide, along ancient structures and up to Cape Polovinny. After an unusual lunch, which will be served in the snow, we will continue our journey. The main thing is not to clog your phone's memory with photos on the first day, there are still so many interesting things ahead! • In Listvyanka we will visit the famous fish market, where the eyes will run away from the assortment of Baikal fish: smoked, fresh, dried. • After a breathtaking trip, we return to Irkutsk.

• After breakfast, we will go to the very heart of Lake Baikal - to the island of Olkhon. We'll stop more than once along the way, because man-made landmarks have been erected here and there. A giant monument to an eagle, a monument to a tramp - it needs to be seen! • On the way to the island, we will cross the ice crossing between the village of Sakhyurt and the village of Khuzhir.* Olkhon is the most popular place on Lake Baikal at any time of the year. The island is big and there are plenty of natural beauties in winter outfits. The main decorations of Olkhon are splashes of frozen water on the steep slopes of the peninsulas and capes of the island. It is impossible to get enough of these winter natural landscapes no matter how much you look. • After a comfortable stay in the cabins, we will have a short rest from the road, and then we will go to meet the sunset, overlooking the sacred Shamanka rock. Such landscapes seem to cut the soul and tears come from the beauty, it is impossible to believe that all this is happening now. There will be tears of admiration, they always are.

• The crystal ice of Lake Baikal awaits us today. We are going to the south of the island of Olkhon by UAZ. Frozen grottos, ice figures created by Mother Nature herself are a sight that can hardly be compared with anything! • Next, we set a course for the uninhabited island of Ogoy. These places have their own story, which the local guide will tell us. We will definitely visit the Buddhist "Stupa of Enlightenment". We are sure that you have seen it in photos more than once, and now you are here and making your most cherished wish! • We will stop at the Dragon's Tail rock and take photos against the background of magnificent views of winter Lake Baikal. • Let's have lunch today right on ice, with hot, freshly prepared omul soup. • We won't stay up too late in the evening, we need to get a good night's sleep before tomorrow.

• Today is the most physically active day, after breakfast we go to explore the "Arctic" station, this ice base exactly recreates the Arctic camp at the North Pole. • A 7-kilometer hike through the snow-covered ice and we are at the destination - the Boro Boro ice station. After a long walk, it will be magical to be in a large warm room, and tasting delicious hot dishes will warm not only the body, but also the soul! This base, standing in the middle of an icy desert, seems to be something cosmic, as if unreal. An ice bowl, a carousel, a photo zone with tulips in ice - there really is something to see! What is the "ice tunnel" worth, where you can hear the breathing of Lake Baikal, the cracking of ice - such things leave powerful impressions. • There is a mail service at the station. Being in the middle of Lake Baikal, each participant can send a postcard with a company stamp to his family or to himself in order to open the mailbox upon arrival and smile again. • After so many impressions and a delicious lunch, the way back will seem unnoticeable. And in the evening in Khuzhir it will be possible to ride dog sleds / horses or just walk around the village and buy souvenirs.

• After breakfast, we take a UAZ to the north of Olkhon Island (the day before yesterday we were in the south of the island). Today's main goal is Cape Khoboy, it is located in the widest part of Lake Baikal and it is not only a beautiful, but also an energetically charged place, it has always been chosen by shamans for their rituals. To this day, followers of various spiritual schools come here for meditation. From the water, the rock resembles the outline of a female body and it has its own instructive legend, we will definitely tell you about it. • Today will be a busy day, we will see many natural attractions.: - Kharantsi — an observation deck with a view of the Lion and Crocodile Islands. - Gerbil — sand dunes on the shore. - Cape Sahagan-Khushun — marble rocks with red lichen. - Cape Shunte is a heart—shaped rock. Do you still have gigabytes of free space on your phone? • Your inner aesthete will be launching fireworks today, because a little later, right on the ice in the middle of the lake, we will have a festive dinner with a beautiful setting. And the "cherry" of Valentine's day will be "a kiss with Baikal." • Today is the day when you can take not only bright, but also a little crazy photos. We will skate, cut through the ice and fly into the wind. Take fluttering dresses, bright sweaters and accessories - a drop of courage and you will be the owner of stunning pictures against the background of shining blue ice!

• We are moving towards Irkutsk, but there is still a lot of interesting things ahead! • On the way, we will stop at Tubden Darjalin Datsan, which is a Buddhist temple and the entrance to it is free for people of different religions. • Visit the huge marble quarry, which is much older than the lake itself. And in the Golden Horde Ethnopark, we will have a rich program during which we will get acquainted with the local culture and traditional way of life. For a bright and colorful finale, we will have lunch in a real Buryat yurt. • Here we are in Irkutsk, our journey has come to an end. These were intense days, full of beauty and emotions. We are sure that the memories of this incredible adventure will keep you warm in any weather and under any circumstances.
