Trip to Baikal

What could be better than starting your summer holidays with a new journey?

A trip to a new place is always a unique opportunity for every child not only to improve their knowledge of the traditions of the regions of Russia, to get acquainted with new culture but also to have a fun vacation that can become one of the most vivid memories of a lifetime.

For Years 9-12, we have fulfilled our cherished dream and organised the tour to Lake Baikal. The first stop after a 6-hour flight from Moscow was Irkutsk. This city is not just a stage of our route: in addition to many interesting features, one cannot stay away from the amazing architecture of the city.

The next stage of our journey was Olkhon, the largest island in Baikal and a real reserve of amazing landscapes and majestic landscapes. Then we went to the Republic of Buryatia and got acquainted with real Buryat traditions and games.

During these 10 days, the students were able not only to enjoy the unique pristine nature of Lake Baikal and the Baikal region but also to learn a lot about different regions of the country.
