Description of the 1 day tour to LISTVYANKA (All year round).
You’ll be picked up from my hostel (or train station or any other place in Irkutsk) at 10 am. Vehicle: a 8 sit minibus or a car.
We start from 1 hour introduction tour of Irkutsk – we’ll visit 3 highlights of our city: Church of Our Savior, a Lace House and a Kazan Church.
After a short city tour, we’ll head to Listvyanka.
Our first stop in Listvyanka is in front of famous SHAMAN ROCK.
Lunch (not included, expect to pay 200- 300R)
Then we drive to the middle of the village to see “RETRO PARK” – it is very positive and nice collection of metal sculptures and old Soviet cars.
After that, we drive to the end of the village and walk along the shore for few kilometers to take some wonderful photos of the lake.
On our way back to the centre of the village, we check out the Fish Market. Smoked OMUL – Baikal endemic testy fish – is highly recommended to try.
And finally, we make our way up to the observation point, known as a STONE OF CHERSKY (MORE ABOUT JAN CZERSKI) from where you will see the breathtaking panorama of lake Baikal and Angara river mouth.
Return by road to Irkutsk by 6 PM.

Ralph Hobbs , New Zealand: Hi Jack! Just wanted to pass on our thanks again for our brilliant trip to Listvyanka a few weeks ago. The tour of Irkutsk was really good beforehand, and it was amazing to go out to the lake and see it from a few different places. The lunch we had was also very good, and the view from the lookout was unreal. Thanks again for looking after us. It was a very memorable day, and not just because I dont think I’ve ever been that cold before!! Haha!! All the best, Ralph and Lorna
