BAIKAL LAKE, SIBERIA 2020: Road Trip Ulan Ude - Irkutsk | Russian MUST SEE PLACE

In August 2020, one of my dreams finally came true - I visited the deepest lake in the world - lake Baikal. It is located in Siberia and a must-visit place in Russia. This road trip will always remain in my memories as one of the best and most beautiful in my life!
For a week I travelled around the lake Baikal with a group of amazing people, starting from Ulan Ude, where I visited several Buddhist temples. We hiked to the mountains with a local where we saw incredible views and real Russian taiga. We travelled to Irkutsk and went to explore the largest island of the lake - Olkhon Island.
In this video I told you a lot of interesting and useful information, and showed you stunning views of this unique place in Russia!

I lived just the other side of the Olympics from the place that Twilight was filmed, and where you are reminds me much of Washington State where I lived for a while. Have wanted to see Lake Baikal for ages, but its so far into the interior that it would take a long time to visit there. Please take very good care of yourself.

    Very nice film making! A lot of nice work. And for a very small audience a year ago. I agree the nature reminds me of Washington and Oregon, and also of here in New Zealand. I was shocked by the NZ Pies in Irkutsk!!! I took some screenshots and will send to a friend here in NZ who is from Irkutsk/Baikal region and still visits every summer (at least before COVID). The other thing that shocked me was the Vincent Price words from "The Last Man on Earth". Did you add that, or it was somehow playing on the street? ("I don't deny that there's some strange evolutionary process going on. But mankind won't be destroyed. The fact that you and I are working here today is evidence of that")
