"Ice Age"

1 DAY - Husky and South Baikal

We leave the hotel in Irkutsk (if you arrived a day earlier for acclimatization) or meet at the airport in Irkutsk and start our trip.

• Ride Siberian Husky in the winter forest

After skating, it is necessary to communicate with dogs and try to take selfies with them. Dogs are kind and cheerful. And you'll be very welcome!
Money from sledding will go to the maintenance of an animal shelter

• Go to Listvyanka for lunch in a restaurant with panoramic views of Baikal

We warm up and dine with Baikal cuisine

• Visit the Fish and Souvenir Market

Colorful place. Here we will meet omul fish and harsh leafy saleswomen. The main thing is not to look them in the eye. You'll have to buy it.

• We go out on the ice - the first meeting with Baikal. Rite of salute

A very important ritual for a successful holiday. You only need the willingness to take inside the ingredients issued by the guide :

• Hivus walk (3 hours)

We sit in the miracle ship "Hivus" and on the ice go to the source of the Angara River. The widest river source in the world. It never freezes. Photo shoot at the water's edge.
Then we stop at the village "Baikal Port" and take pictures with ships frozen in ice. We're looking at an old engine.
The next stop is the Circum-Baikal Railway. Once it was part of the Transib, and now an open-air museum – exploring centuries-old tunnels.

• In the evening we checked into a hotel in Listvyanka.

2 DAY - 250 km of ice

Eviction from the hotel and boarding in the hivus. Today we will travel on the ice for about 250 km and explore the west coast. This means that we have the maximum chance to see both pure ice and all its forms (bladders, bubbles, cracks).

• Looking for bubbles in the Great Holoust and climb on the hummocks (heap of broken ice) at Cape Kadilil

• Stop for a walk and lunch in the Bay of Sandy

In summer, its beaches can not be distinguished from Thailand, and in winter from one of the observation platforms you can admire the sea that has paused, and take pictures with the famous stilt trees.

• Pre-sunset Ogo

Approaching Olkhon, we will make a stop in one of the most famous places - at Cape Dragon (Ogoi).

• Tasting world cocktails with Siberian flavor directly from the ice of Baikal

*A non-alcoholic option is also possible

• In the evening we arrive at the hotel on the island of Olkhon – the very center of Baikal.

Dinner, share impressions. We rest and prepare for the next busy day.

3 DAY - North Olkhon - 80 km on ice

Today we visit the top and secret locations in northern Olkhon.

• We travel all day on a hivus from Shamanka to Khoboy

We visit Shamanka Rock, Small Sea Islands, Cape Three Brothers, Cape. Khoboy and others are all those places where the most beautiful ice grottoes, caves and splashes on rocks up to 15 meters high are formed in winter.

• Master class on Yohor right on the ice

Learn to dance traditional Buryat dance. Very simple, but very cheerful and warm :

• For lunch, we have a picnic (lunch boxes) and bask in clay.
• We meet the sunset in the most photographed place of Baikal - at the Shamanka rock
• Late at night: Getting out of the rooms to watch the stars

There is no light pollution on Lake Baikal, so we see billions of stars every night.

• Night trip on the ice

If you still have the strength, then closer to midnight we go on the ice to listen to the whispers of Lake Baikal. From the temperature drop, the ice tears, which is accompanied by a terrible crash. It's scary, but you have to hear it :

4 Day - South of Olkhon and the road to Irkutsk

We have a whole day of ice adventures. Southern Olkhon is a space landscape

• Today we travel around the island on a harsh Siberian transport – UAZ ‘Bukhanka’

The pride of the domestic car industry. Therefore, at least once in life, every Russian should try it.

• Visit the observation deck at Cape Jelga - a chic view of the Gulf of the Small Sea

• Climbing the Trident Rock

Take a photo here and you can tell your friends that in addition to Lake Baikal, you also visited Mongolia - such are the landscapes here.

• We will consider the bubbles in Lake Nurskoe

A shallow lake with many ice bubbles

• Picnic lunch

While we are walking, our driver will prepare a Baikal ear for us at the stake.

• Return to Irkutsk by comfortable transport.

It's 4 hours. Check-in at a hotel in Irkutsk.
