Ice grottoes of Olkhon, evening fire on the ice of Baikal and the meeting of the sunset

Individual car trip-phototur with elements of learning and adventure in the company of a travel photographer

Ice trip oh. Olkhon will pass on a comfortable crossover and take a full day. Every winter I travel around Baikal this way, looking for and photographing the top places. In our adventure, together we will find the best ice grottoes and frozen splashes, extract the purest Baikal water from under meter ice and cook mulled wine on fire. I will tell you and show you how to make the best shots of the day. The highlight of the trip will be an evening on the ice by the fire and the meeting of the sunset. With my tips and a couple of professional secrets, your Baikal photos will be a bomb!

The beginning/finishing of the trip is possible as in Irkutsk, and so on. olkhon

What awaits you:

Beautiful winter road along the snow-covered Buryat steppes

The white steppe and the black thread of the road. The path to the ice will be a stylish object for the first shots. And, of course, we'll go out at Obo, places of worship revered by the locals. We'll bumble. You know what this is? All right, let it remain a mystery for now.

Breakfast at the Buryat cafe

We will eat on the way to the Buryat cafe dishes of national cuisine. Have you tried booze, boozer or tsuywan? Satisfying, tasty, instagramming.

The best viewpoints of the south of the Small Sea

We will make a stop in the Tazheran steppes near the area of Sakhurt. Panoramic views of Baikal from the surrounding hills fill with delight. On the left is the Little Sea. Ahead is Olkhon Island. We assess the ice situation, add a couple of juicy shots to the piggy bank and move to the lake. The hunt for the ice treasure begins!

Olkhon's Secret Ice Grottoes

There are many ice caves in the winter Olkhon. Much more than most people think. Baikal freezes differently every year. Every year, ice grottoes change their position and number. Every year we look for them like a hidden treasure on an old pirate map. Every year, rare in beauty specimens go to us. Damn gambling, friends.

Evening camping and sunset meeting on ice by the campfire

Time top photos for your Instagram. At the stake, a pot of mulled wine bubbles. The smell of haze calms thoughts, and the heat of fire envelops the legs. The reddish-orange sky is reflected in kilometers of ice shell. Silence. Only wood in the fire is occasionally snapped, throwing sparks in the twilight. Just Baikal and you.
