Tour Overview

Here is a marvellous route to diversify your stay in the south of Lake Baikal and to enjoy a 18-km (11-mi) horseback ride between the villages of Listvyanka and Bolshiye Koty. Departing from Listvyanka situated 70 km (44 mi) southeast of Irkutsk we will follow an old trail linking these two villages. First kilometres will be done through taiga and then we will go down to the shore of Lake Biakal. During the ride we are going to enjoy plain but plentiful meal prepared on bonfire by our guide.
