Listvyanka, Bolshie Koty and Bolshoe Goloustnoe are located on the southwestern shore of Lake Baikal. In spite 3 villages are not too far from each other, their history and character differs a lot. The trail from Listvyanka to Bolshoe Goloustnoe is one of the most comprehensive, naturalistic and beautiful trip possible in relatively short time of three to five days to spend at Baikal. The trail always gets along the lakeside in the larch and pine tree forest, through the steppe slopes, pebble beaches, and green meadows with gorgeous view to the turquoise-blue immensity of the great lake.

The tourist-wise Listvyanka settlement is 70 km away from Irkutsk. This old-style Siberian village situated at the source of Angara River is famous for its trade history. The Museum of Lake Baikal (Limnological Museum) provides information about the origin and wild life of the lake.

Bolshie Koty is a small village, located on the lakeside of Baikal shore 20 km northeast from Listvyanka. Surrounded by hills and picturesque rock cliffs this solitary village has its own life rhythm measured not by hours but seasons making you really relaxed of tight schedule, traffic and rush hours.

Bolshoe Goloustnoe is a former Buryat fisherman and logging settlement, where in 17th century there was a base for official crossing to the Eastern shore of Baikal. The name Goloustnoe means something like 'nude, barren river-mouth' and reflects the barren steppe around the marshy river delta. The village has 800 inhabitants.

The route is 52 km long. We provide an experienced guide, food, tents, sleeping bags, isomats, other camping outfit.
