8 days tour of Irkutsk and Lake Baikal from Mongolia on the Trans-Siberian Railway

There are many other attractions in Mongolia besides the prairie. Among them, the cultural landscape area called Orkhon Valley has many archaeological sites and historic sites, and the most famous is the Karakorum archaeological site. When the Mongolian and Turkish nomads who had lived in Mongolia for a long time founded the country, they chose the capital as the Orkhon River basin. Genghis Khan has also ordered the establishment of the capital of the Mongol Empire there. The city of Karakorum was built in 1235 by the order of Genghis Khan and is famous for being temporarily the center of the world. Eldeniso, one of the world heritage sites in Mongolia, the ruins of Kharkhorin. Suddenly appearing in the prairie, the ruins are a group of temples with a long history in Mongolia, with a total of 108 high-impact white pagoda and outer walls left surrounding the Buddhist temple. The "Karakorum History Museum" was constructed by Kameishi, a joint project of the Mongolian Cabinet and JICA, and Japanese ODA, which is a short walk from the ruins.


Trans-Siberian Railway

Many people in Japan yearn for the Trans-Siberian Railway. 1022km from Mongolia across the border to Russia.
Take the Siberian railway. The ultimate train trip with spectacular scenery. The train runs through the prairie and runs along Lake Baikal for a long time, so you can enjoy a break while enjoying the spectacular scenery. A shared dining car and toilet are also available, and a sleeping car compartment type can be used by 2 people per room.

Lake Baikal Irkutsk

Even in summer, the average temperature is 12 to 24 degrees. Tour the land of Siberia and Lake Baikal, a World Natural Heritage Site. Enjoy the unique cityscape of Irkutsk, board the Siberian Gulf Railway, and enjoy the great outdoors!

We will visit Vladivostok, the "Europe closest to Japan", which can be reached from Narita in about two and a half hours, Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world, and Irkutsk, the ancient capital of Siberia, using a round-trip direct flight from Japan. Feel the connection with Japan and enjoy the Siberian towns and nature with a nostalgic landscape.

Lake Baikal, which the locals call the sea, is unimaginably large. It is about 46 times larger than Lake Biwa, the largest in Japan, and 20% of the world's freshwater. I wonder if the surface of this large lake will be covered with more than 1m of ice in winter, and I am overwhelmed by the power of nature. It has the highest transparency in the world and is said to be the "pearl of Siberia." July-August is the beautiful season for wildflowers, and September is the beautiful season for yellow leaves. The lake, which was created in the rift of the earth 30 million years ago, nurtured a unique ecosystem. There are more than 1,500 endemic species that are currently certified. In early April, cute babies are waiting under the ice during the breeding season of the endemic Baikal seal. It's hard to meet nature, but you can meet Baikal seals at the Baikal Lake Museum.
