Goal
A Different Kind of Travel Experience
My trips are designed for comfort and deep immersion. You’ll stay in a peaceful village with almost no tourists, where evenings mean cozy nights in a warm cabin and relaxing sauna sessions. From here, we’ll venture out to explore Lake Baikal’s stunning landscapes—glide across its icy surface on skates, hike scenic trails, and capture unforgettable photos.
Dive into a fairytale adventure where Lake Baikal transforms into a glittering ice kingdom! Feel the thrill of walking atop the world’s deepest frozen lake, explore hidden ice caves sparkling like diamonds, and witness the dramatic cliffs of Olkhon Island rising from the crystal-clear ice.
Your Authentic Siberian Escape Awaits:
Stay Like a Local: Sleep in a charming wooden guesthouse steps from the lakeshore, nestled in a quiet village untouched by mass tourism. Cozy evenings by the fire, steaming herbal tea, and warm, welcoming locals will make you feel like family.
Taste Siberia’s Soul:
Savor hearty, home-cooked meals bursting with local flavors – freshly caught fish, aromatic pine needle tea, and traditional Siberian dishes passed down for generations.
Unforgettable Winter Wonders:
Glide across Baikal’s mirror-like ice on a thrilling skating adventure.
Discover surreal ice caves adorned with nature’s frozen sculptures.
Learn age-old customs from Buryat elders and hear legends of the “Sacred Sea.”
