Planning a trip to Lake Baikal (Sep–Nov 2026): Has anyone been there?
Hey everyone! I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to Lake Baikal, Russia, tentatively sometime between September and November this year. I know it's pretty off the beaten path and connectivity there can be a real challenge, so I figured this community would be the best place to get some honest advice.
If you've done this trip before, I'd love to hear about it:
- How did you get there and navigate around?
- What time of year worked best for you?
- Any tips, gotchas, or must-dos?
All input — big or small — is genuinely appreciated!
