Then we are off to see the city and also to visit the port town of Listzyanka on the shore of Baikal, with its Ecological Museum. If there is time, we also visit the ethnographic museum nearby, where visitors will find representative homes, farms and fortresses from the various historic epochs of Irkutsk. Back in the city, there is an excursion around town, a meal and a chance to shop. Then the group makes its way to the train station for the next segment of your adventure. In Buryatia our partners and your hosts meet us.
Placements can be in the city or more frequently in a village.
