What’ll we do?
Day 1, TREKKING
We set out on a jeep early in the morning to travel to Slyudyanka village. After driving for a little over two hours, we begin hiking a forest path to reach a base camp located near the bottom Chersky Peak at an elevation of 1500 meters. As all necessary supplies as food and equipment are already waiting for us at the top, we are traveling light.
A relaxing experience at a mountain base camp where we can have a barbeque, enjoy nature and optionally take a banya(sauna) and drink tea made from local herbs. In return for completing a challenging hike, visitors can experience a magnificent starry sky and serene quite unique to mountain environments.
DAY 2, ASCENT TO CHERSKY PEAK
We’ll Trek up Chersky Peak, which is the highest point of the Komarinski ridge at a height of 2090 meters. The climb is planned after a good rest and a hearty breakfast. The hike follows a mountain serpentine road that passes by the Great Tea Road, once used by ancient trade caravans traveling from Kyakhta to Irkutsk city. The highlights and magnificent views on the route are breathtaking and must be experienced first-hand rather than being described. 😊 After reaching the summit, we take a break and have a snack before beginning to descend. Along the way, visit a local natural landscape feature – Heart Lake named “Serdtse” – located amidst the valley. After lunch, we celebrate our successful climb before descending to Slyudyanka village and returning to Irkutsk city.
