Reverse Itinerary Available

Only got time to make one stop? This itinerary offers a three night stopover in Siberia. Spend two nights with a family on the shores of beautiful Lake Baikal, which at 600 km in length is the largest freshwater lake in the world. This is followed by a night in the historic city of Irkutsk - once the main trading route with Mongolia and China in the 18th century and still home to many traditional wooden houses. This trip operates year round.
