Baikal is calling…
The dream of many – to be here and see it with their own eyes… People come from all over the world to do so. Nature’s favourite, which she finished with special care when she created it and endowed with a special power. Such, without a doubt, is Baikal, one of the most ancient lakes on the planet, some 25 million years old, and the most-most-most… large, deep, clean, transparent freshwater lake on Earth.
An ordinary lake lives a few tens of thousands of years at most, after which it turns into a swamp/goes into the ground/. Baikal, however, not only isn’t getting shallower, but on the contrary is widening, and there is an opinion that Baikal is a future ocean; many even now call it a sea. The nature is delightful and indescribable, both on the shores of the lake and in Baikal itself.
Here you can find all the natural zones of the world — from the deep taiga to the desert — and an enormous diversity of living things, more than 2500 thousand species, two thirds of which live only here…
To make a journey in August with like-minded people to Siberia, to Transbaikalia, to the eastern shore of the lake – to the Transbaikal National Park: Chivyrkuysky Bay, the Svyatoy Nos peninsula,
the Ushkany Islands archipelago with the largest haul-out of the Baikal seal, the nerpa, on Baikal — one of the cutest kinds of seal, …a journey after which it is impossible to remain the same… This unique, mystical place has been considered a place of shamans since ancient times…
I have been in touch with a guide, and it has come out roughly like this:
a flight Boryspil–Ulan-Ude (with a change), a minibus transfer to the village of Monakhovo and then a boat or a cargo catamaran, and on through the Transbaikal reserve, stopping at a tent camp for 2-3-4 days in the beautiful bays of Chivyrkuysky Bay, the water in August is 22-23 C. On the way back we can visit the Ivolginsky Datsan (35 km from Ulan-Ude), where the
incorruptible body of Lama Itigelov lies, and Ulan-Ude – Boryspil.
