From Ulan-Ude
Excursions from Ulan-Ude: Buryatia, Baikal and one-day routes
If you are flying into Ulan-Ude, it makes more sense to see the eastern side of Baikal and routes across Buryatia rather than building the day through Irkutsk. That way it is easier to reach the Barguzin Valley, Chivyrkuysky Gulf, Yanzhima and the city's sights without a transfer through Irkutsk.

Where to go from Ulan-Ude
For a first introduction, Ulan-Ude itself works well. For nature — the Barguzin Valley and Chivyrkuysky Gulf. For a cultural route — Yanzhima and the Buddhist sites of Buryatia.
Why the Ulan-Ude departure matters
Buryatian routes differ from Irkutsk ones: a different side of Baikal, different distances and a different cultural context. So it is best to factor in where you are staying from the start.
