Cycling is almost certainly the best way to experience the wild beauty of Olkhon Island of Lake Baikal in Russia Siberia, and the unique culture of the people who inhabit this remote place, bound by majestic cliffs and the abyssal depths of the world’s most ancient lake. Cycling along the rugged, hilly off-road trails that ring the island allows you to forge a real connection with nature, feeling the ground beneath you, savouring every whiff of air and soaking in the scenery at your own pace. Travelling by bike, you’ll also be able to reach the most isolated and picturesque points of the island.
