At the Golden Horde Ethnographic Park, we will participate in a concert of throat singing and dance the Buryat national dance, yokhor. You will also learn what Buryat buuzy, boovy, bukhlyor are, the peculiarities of tea drinking among nomadic peoples, why it is so important for local residents to share what they eat and drink with spirits, and what dishes are prepared in a Buryat family for important rituals.

Khan Khuit Baabai, resides.

Today we will have an excursion to Khoboi, the north of the island.
The program includes visits to places such as Three Brothers Rock,
Cape Shunte and Uzury, with scenic views of rocks, water, as well as sandy
and pebble beaches. Legend therapy, which will allow you to answer your own
questions and come to the right decisions with the help of easy and fascinating stories.

You will also be able to plunge into the clear water of Lake Baikal, as it is believed that the water of this sacred lake has healing properties and gives its guests youth and longevity.

In the evening, we will learn all about the Baikal amulets, or ongons, and discover the secrets that the shamans put into them. We will also create our own protective amulet. We will charge it with our own intentions and energy.

In the morning, we will meet the sunrise with an amazing view of Saraysky beach. Learning to play the national instrument - the vargan, will allow you to feel the vibrations of your body and tune into a positive mood.
After breakfast, you will go on a cruise on the Small Sea – the strait, which is separated from the big Baikal by the island of Olkhon. You will admire the diversity of the small islands, and some of you even have a chance to meet the Baikal seal. You will feed the silver gulls and try the healing water from the "holy" silver spring, which has two branches - male and female.
We will also dock at the uninhabited island of Ogoy. This is the largest island of the Maloye More, one of the "places of power" of Lake Baikal. The island is recognizable from afar by its snow-white Buddhist stupa.
