Baikal Warm Lakes

Tour to the Warm Lakes

In the south of Lake Baikal lie three small lakes, nicknamed «warm lakes.» This name is not without reason: in summer, the water in the lakes warms up to 30 degrees Celsius!

People come here not only to bask in the warm water and relax on the beach.
Guides suggest tourists visit the Warm Lakes to see the unique Relict Forest and the «Skazka» (translated as «Fairy Tale») Waterfall. Those interested can also climb the small mountain called «Shapka Monomakha» (Monomakh’s Cap), or climb the Taltsinsky Peak.

Route description to the Warm Lakes

You can reach the Warm Lakes by car or train. Tour operators most often use minibuses, and the journey from Irkutsk takes approximately three hours.

The three Warm Lakes are the highlight of this tour, but equally beautiful natural attractions are within walking distance.
A one-day tour might include climbing the low peak of Shapka Monomakha, basking on the shores of the Lakes, and strolling through the Relict Forest.
However, a two-day tour will give you much more! Overnight in a comfortable campsite, you’ll have enough time to visit waterfalls, go paddleboarding or catamaraning, explore the southern part of Lake Baikal and visit the village of Kultuk, or even climb Taltsinsky Peak. However, in the latter case, the ascent and descent can take a full day.

The Warm Lakes is the wonderful place to relax, where natural beauty meets familiar comfort. If you’re interested in visiting the Lakes, welcome — we’re here to help!
