End of April - beginning of May is the unique spring time when Baikal is getting rid off the ice cover. Spring is a period of change, ice begins to move, greens break through melted snow and the air is completely unusual, but so pleasant. Tubular ice crumbles like glass from any movement, and the noise of the awakening aikal does not stop for a minute. The spring on Lake Baikal is filled with Olkhon's yellow fields, beautiful clouds and white ice floes migrating through blue waters, becoming part of them.Travel to Baikal in May to see and listen the Baikal Awakening.

Rodney, Australia: The tour was a very good introduction to the Russian subcontinent
I was a solo traveler in a small group and found it so well worth doing this way. Great experience, great country worth to explore more. Our tour leader Katya was fantastic; she was so helpful, and really made the trip fun. I bought warmer shoes but she said that in fact this winter was not cold at all. Very surprising vibrant like in winter wonderland.
