Lake Baikal 4 years ago

I participated in the Great Baikal Trail Project, and spent two months in Siberia building trails and hanging out. Lake Baikal is amazingly beautiful, I loved the people, and it was the best summer job ever! If you can have the money for the plane ticket, you won’t spend much more on living there (food and boarding is cheap, especially if you are camping and building trails like I was).

Lake Baikal Travel!!!

Sacred Baikal! Inaccessible and scanity explored part of the planet. The country of the mountains and crystal-clear water. Beautiful landscapes of the bright green of conifer forest obscured by the snow-covered peaks. The primordial nature stretches for hundreds of kilometers.
We invite you to visit the great lake-sea Baikal!
We won’t speak a lot about the beauty of Baikal because you have to see it by yourself. Baikal is not a mere reservoir that contains H²O. First and foremost it is an ineffable miracle of a scale which amazes and defies comprehension. And though all reference-books define it as a lake, the word “sea” comes to mind when looking at Baikal. Its dimensions cannot but impress, and the figures are not sufficient enough to convey what one really feels on its shores…
Travelers visiting this area always yield their hearts to the severe beauty of Baikal once and forever.
