day 01
Jeeping through the Tajeran steppes, sunset with a view of Cape Burkhan
Type of accommodation:Hotel
We will meet you at any address in Irkutsk by agreement and go on an incredible 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! The 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
Jeep tour of the north of Olkhon
Type of accommodation:Hotel
Today, a jeep safari awaits you again: this time we are going 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
South of Olkhon Island, Yalga Lake, picnic and ferry crossing
Type of accommodation:Hotel
After breakfast, we will drive 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.
