Serene natural beauty, calm atmosphere, untouched lands - that's what awaits you at Olkhon Island! And the surrounding freshwater lake, Lake Baikal just seems to be the cherry on the cake!
Spectacular Landscapes
With unbelievable panoramic landscapes of the lake coupled with the raw beauty of the island with virgin forests and untouched wildlife to explore, Olkhon Island is the place to be for nature lovers and photographers!
Shaman Rock
Though you would have seen the pictures of the rock, however, experiencing standing at the rock, in reality, would be a different feeling, altogether!
If you visit by late August, you can swim in the pleasant temperature near the rock.
Horse Riding
Leave behind the cars, and experience exploring the huge island on a horse! The natural sandy beaches that surround the island are a great place to relax and even take a dip, during the summer months.
Spiritual Experience
Since ages, the island is spiritually important for the people of this region as it is believed that the Gods of Bilakal lived here.
Known to be the center of spiritual energy for Shamanism and Buddhism, the spiritual experience here is unmatched!
An Old West Experience
Khuzhir, the island's main settlement place, takes you back in time to the old west times!
Wide dirt roads, small wooden buildings on either side of the road, and old-style cafes serving smoked omul await you at Khuzhir.
Cape Khoboy
Capture some of the most picturesque landscapes at the Cape Khoboy with red cliff faces, crystal beaches, seagulls as well as Baikal seals in the vicinity!
Unconventional Transport
Have a calm kayaking experience on the shores of the island or explore the whole island on a quad bike apart from the horse rides, to have an unconventional transport experience!
