Natural grandeur strikes the travelers to Baikal lake. Baikal region located in the Asian part of Russia is a place on earth where you will feel a true power of Nature and will share the greatest reverence to it with the locals who refer to Baikal in no other words but “He”, “Sacred Sea”, “Father”, and “Lord”. The world’s biggest freshwater lake size of Belgium is called the well of the planet for containing 1/5 of the world’s sweet water reserves and is listed by UNESCO as a World’s heritage site.

The unique lake itself with crystal clear water and amazing biodiversity, however, is far from being all that awaits the traveler. Baikal gave its name to the surrounding area with magnificent diverse landscapes. Wide steppe with endless horizons of blue sky and sheer space that give you an intense feeling of freedom turns into dense austere taiga, dramatic mountains around the lake give way to sunny valleys colored by the multitude of flowers, peaks covered with bright snow overlook hot springs, and tumultuous whitewater rivers flow in the Sacred Lake.
