Olkhon Island (Khuzhir Town) - Cape Khoboy (North Line)

After breakfast, see Lake Baikal framed beautifully by the morning light. Winter at Cape Khoboy is profound enough to touch anyone's soul.

The blue lake freezes into crushed fragments, creating a frozen fairy-tale world. Due to tectonic pressure, ice cracks form and shards push upward, radiating a brilliant sapphire-blue glow under the sunlight.

Take the 4WD off-road bus to Cape Khoboy, the northernmost tip of Olkhon Island. Known as the "Little Cape of Good Hope," it is the island's second most sacred site and sits near the deepest part of Lake Baikal (1,637 meters).

Standing on Cape Khoboy, you can look out across the lake's widest span of 79 kilometers. Along the way, pass by Kharantsy, Three Brothers Rock, Cape Khoboy, Boy Mountain, and Girl Mountain.

Lakeside Wild Picnic: At noon, enjoy an outdoor picnic in the lakeside woods. Your local driver doubles as a chef, building a wood fire to cook a delicious local fish soup using Lake Baikal water and fresh Omul fish. Return to Khuzhir Town after the picnic.

Khuzhir Town: A tranquil, rustic town on Olkhon Island nestled between rolling grasslands and dense forests. It sits directly adjacent to the famous Shaman Rock and is dotted with Buryat wooden cabins of various colors and shapes.

In the evening, watch a gorgeous sunset from nearby Shaman Mountain. Once night falls, admire the island's romantic starry sky to completely soothe your mind. You can optionally choose to arrange a night photo shoot of the starlight reflecting off the ice (at your own expense).
