Artemy Lebedev recounted his trip to Olkhon in his characteristic style

Blogger and designer Artemy Lebedev spoke about his trip to Olkhon on his channel. He noted that he had long wanted to visit Lake Baikal but was surprised by the huge queues at the ferry crossing

Artemy Lebedev:

I flew to Olkhon. I’d wanted to go there for a long time, and I got incredibly lucky—the weather was beautifully warm, and it was even possible to swim in Lake Baikal. The only downside to Olkhon is the ferry crossing; it can’t handle the volume of traffic, and the situation there is absolute chaos. My advice: leave your car on the mainland, cross on the ferry as a foot passenger, and then take a taxi or sign up for a tour—or just explore on foot. There’s no need to drag your car over there, because you’ll end up waiting ten hours just to get on the ferry. Plus, there’s nowhere to buy water or *buuz*, and there is absolutely no infrastructure

Moscow is the "heart" of Russia, beating since 1147. This magnificent capital boasts splendid architectural landmarks, picturesque parks, and an abundance of entertainment options. Yet, many Muscovites prefer to spend their weekends outside the bustling metropolis, often choosing to travel to Lake Baikal. The "Blue Eye of Siberia" beckons with its fairytale beauty and natural charm

Many travel companies offer weekend tours from Moscow that include a complimentary unique excursion. The Belaya Chayka Hotel is recommended as a place to stay for visitors to the Lake Baikal region. Booking a room in advance at this cozy hotel on Olkhon Island ensures availability. The final cost of the tours depends on the choice of accommodation, the duration of the stay, and the excursions selected

Sightseeing tour itineraries

Many Russians travel to the shores of Lake Baikal to escape the city bustle, relax, enjoy the spectacular scenery, and recharge with energy and positivity. This unique journey offers the chance to encounter true wonders:

• The Ushkany Islands (Four land areas of varying sizes are part of Zabaykalsky National Park. Weekend tours offer the chance to see a freshwater seal rookery, massive anthills, deposits of white and pink marble, black-barked birch trees, ancient trees, and 280 plant species in this area)

• Cape Khoboy ("The Fang," located at the northern tip of Olkhon Island. This pillar-like rock formation resembles the sharp tooth of an animal from one angle and a petrified young woman from another. The site is notable for its multi-voiced echo, and practitioners from various spiritual traditions use the cape for meditation)

• the Khorgoy Peninsula (Steppnoy Cape, featuring the ruins of the Kurykan Wall—a structure used by the Kurykans for defense and the performance of sacred rituals)

• Cape Sagan-Khushun (a white marble rock formation featuring blood-red lichen; the summit offers fantastic views of the Maloye More, Cape Khoboy, and the Primorsky Range—it is well worth buying a ticket from Moscow to witness this spectacular sight)

• Saray Bay (A favorite spot for vacationers who enjoy swimming and sunbathing; 4 km of sandy beach surrounded by a pine forest and genuine dunes)

• Tashkine Valley (A picturesque valley in the east of Olkhon, framed by mountain ridges. Rocky outcrops are adorned with colorful lichens. The area contains a complex of archaeological sites, sacrificial altars, and burial grounds. It is a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts)

It is well worth booking a weekend tour to Lake Baikal from Moscow to witness the majesty and beauty of the "Sacred Lake" firsthand. You can discover unique endemic flora and fauna, wander along forest trails, and enjoy activities like cycling, riding ATVs, or ice skating. Bathe in the sacred waters and leave feeling truly revitalized
