Welcome to Baikal - baikal lake tour.
Lake Baikal is a unique and mysterious natural phenomenon whose untouched and magnificent beauty impresses all people who come to see it. They call Baikal "the pearl of Siberia". The distance from Irkutsk to the lake is 60 kilometers and one can reach it in two ways – by land and by river. The highway to Lake Baikal runs along the Angara. The traveller soon leaves behind the suburbs of Irkutsk with their new residential areas. The taiga moves in on the highway. On the left it is thick and dark. On the right one catches glimpses of water through the trees – first, the Irkutsk Reservoir with its quaint-shaped coves, and then the Angara itself. Sometimes the highway goes past settlements between Irkutsk and Baikal.
