When done with a regular sightseeing in Irkutsk and Listvyanka we suggest you to take off for Olkhon Island to admire wilderness and Baikal sceneries found at this remoter destination of Lake Baikal. For many centuries Olkhon used to be a sacral center for Shamanist believers. Nowadays, many Russian tourists visit Olkhon for recreation and leisure on sand beaches at warm shallow bays of the Maloye Morye (Small Sea) strait separated from the main Baikal waterbody by the island. Besides that, Olkhon Island is renowned for a variety of natural landscapes. These include sand dunes at a small desert, vast steppes with stunted grass and even a small salty inner lake at the southern part of the island. As moving to the north-east the scenery is changing to deep forest and steep cliffs along the rough rocky shoreline.
