Rest on Baikal, one of the main natural attractions of Russia, has always attracted not only domestic travelers, but also foreign wildlife lovers, stunning landscapes and ethnographic rarities. It is here that you can really feel what it means to be alone with the most mysterious reservoir of the planet. Whose origin is still covered with a veil of mystery

Rich flora and fauna, most of which endemic, and therefore live only within the lake, is protected by the World Heritage and the Baikal National Park in the Irkutsk region. Also of interest are the natural attractions of the Barguzin Nature Reserve in the North Baikal region, the Djerginsky reserve in Kurumkansky district and the Tunkinsky national park in the same area.

Lake Baikal and the adjacent territories have been considered sacred places since ancient times and have been covered with numerous legends. Today, it is unlikely that anyone will take the traditions of the Buryats seriously, but other explanations, except for irrational ones, are hard to find. One of the main questions is the age of the lake. He is at least 25 million years old, but the signs of aging are still not observed.

Excursion tours and photosafari

Unfortunately, we are extremely few know about the unique peoples of the North, their culture, customs, beliefs, and simply life . At the e everything connected with local traditions is of great interest for anyone who views the trip as an occasion to get acquainted with the new ethnos and, at the very least, expand their horizons . For the national color of the inhabitants who have chosen the coast of the lake, it is best to go to the Republic of Buryatia , at least to visit the famous Ivolginsky datsan, Buddhist monastic complex, 30 kilometers from Ulan-Ude, the capital of Buryatia . No less interesting will be the Siberian Old Believers, the descendants of the first Russian settlers who appeared and Lake Baikal in the late 17th century, is worth a visit . "Taltsy", an open-air museum of wooden architecture in the Irkutsk region, with four cultural zones of the Baikal region: Russian, Buryat, Evenki and Tofalar and walk around the old Irkutsk .

Buryats believe that Lake Baikal has no bottom and that all water bodies flow into this gigantic sea (this is what Baikal is called local). And indeed, the deepest lake of the planet contains a huge number of rivers.

Hiking

Love to hikes lives in the heart of almost any Russian. One of the projects created to visualize such trips is the Great Baikal Trail. This system of hiking trails around the lake now includes several routes. In the future it is planned to connect the network of three national parks and three reserves. More detailed information can be obtained at the project website www.greatbaikaltrail.org

The trekking around the lake can be combined with an ornithological tour, held from May to August. Observation of rare birds is a great opportunity to get to know the nature of Baikal
