From Ulan-Ude to Baikal
Baikal from Ulan-Ude in one day: the eastern shore, Chivyrkuysky Gulf and Buryatia
Ulan-Ude is a convenient base for seeing the eastern side of Baikal and routes across Buryatia. This starting point fits if you have already flown into Ulan-Ude, or you want not the Irkutsk scenario with Olkhon but the Buryatian shore, gulfs, valleys and cultural context.
