Round Baikal Railway

Round Baikal Railway / Circumbaikal Railway TOUR

Duration – 11 hours

Available: Wednesday/ Saturday (Irkutsk – port Baikal) Thursday/ Sunday (port Baikal – Irkutsk)

 

Take a full day train tour on the most exotic part of the Trans-Siberian Railway. The sacred lake with all its awesome beauty passes before the eyes of its passengers. On the one side, the rocks pile up unimaginably high. On the other side the waves from the lake lap over the carriage-wheels.

The Round Baikal Railway is a unique monument of history and engineering architecture with numerous tunnels, elegant arches and protective walls placed on picturesque landscape. The part from Sludyanka settlement to Port Baikal is abundant in tunnels, arches and bridges supporting the walls. Foreign tourists respectfully name it as the museum of Russian engineering or the Golden Buckle of the Great Siberian Trail.
