Do you like to travel, learn new things,visit nice places, meet with interesting people and their culture? Thus, our proposal is definitely for you! We propose you a memorable trip to one of the most beautiful and mysterious places in the world- Lake Baikal. You can spend hours by describing the unique and magnificent nature, the beauty and power of the deepest lake in the world. You can find a lot of pictures, video in the İnternet, you can also learn some comments of the people who have already visited the lake but anyway you cant feel the magic power of Baikal which it has millenniums and which attracts people from all over the world. You must see it with your eyes! More information on facebook: around-baikal

Baikal is the world's deepest and oldest lake which holds about 20% of the Earth's surface fresh water. The lake is roughly the size of Belgium; it takes about 2 days to pass by its narrow south side by train. In the past, lake Baikal was respectfully referred to by the Russians as the "Baikal Sea" for its size. Baikal is home to more than 1,700 species of plants and animals (such as nerpa - the only fresh water seal, fish golomyanka, Baikal sturgeon and omul), two thirds of which can be found nowhere else in the world. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996

Lake Baikal is the oldest, the deepest and the largest by volume fresh water lake in the world. Each year thousands to tourists head towards Russia to experience the world-renowned railway that passes the whole continent. The lake's largest island Olkhon - the sacral center of Shamanist believers - offers a rare opportunity for leisure and water fun at the warm sandy beaches of the lake. Baikal boat and yacht cruises leave long-lasting vivid memories of the magnificent secluded shores, pristine bays and rocky coves found in totally uninhabited areas of the northern and central Baikal.
