Majestic Siberian nature has always attracted the attention of travelers. Mountain rivers and springs filled with clean and cool water are a real paradise for a weary traveler. Even those who like to relax in the resorts of Thailand and the Maldives are delighted with the beauty and diversity of Siberian wildlife landscapes. In this region, one of the most breathtaking places for relaxation and enjoying the beauties of the surrounding world is Lake Baikal. Rest in this place is an incomparable pleasure. Rich nature and developed infrastructure, wild, untouched corners and recreation centers famous among tourists are closely intertwined here. Many travelers travel a huge distance in order to at least for a moment see the world's largest freshwater lake.

"Savage" to Siberia

Of course, many are primarily interested in an inexpensive holiday on Lake Baikal. And this is no coincidence: after all, the worldwide popularityof this place played a role in the cost of boarding service. Rest "savage" here is somewhat less developed than on other lakes in the country. The reason for this is the abundance of recreation centers and sanatoriums. As a rule, residents of nearby cities prefer to relax away from civilization and soft beds. However, even among travelers who have come a long way to the majestic freshwater lake, there are those who prefer relaxation in tents. This, as you know, is the most inexpensive vacation on Lake Baikal. For this pastime option, it is better to choose a quiet place where there is not a huge crowd of tourists. Baikal surf and Kultushnaya cannot be attributed here. These "islands" of Siberian nature are very crowded. Unfortunately, there are very few territories where an inexpensive vacation on Lake Baikal in the style of "savages" is still possible. Almost all the land near the reservoir is leased. Therefore, the second option is a boarding holiday.

Purchasing a ticket

Today, there is a huge variety of hotels, hotels and resorts around the lake. Some establishments offer tours for tourists, including accommodation, meals, excursions and outdoor activities. For example, if you want to purchase a tour package along with various activities, then the option called "I have never seen such a miracle" may be suitable for you. This tour is nine days long. This includes hotel accommodation, meals, a sightseeing tour of Irkutsk, museum visits and a tourist voyage. Duringthe latter you will be able to see the extraordinary beauty of the islands of the Baikal Range, Olkhon Island, the Tazheran steppe, Shebetsky, Khul, Saraysky and Togay bays and much, much more. Overnight stays in tents, evenings by the fires, alluring heights of the starry sky - a lot of unforgettable impressions await connoisseurs of Siberian nature. The estimated cost of such a tour is 19,000 rubles. However, this is far from the most inexpensive holiday on Lake Baikal.

Let's relax on the island

There are simpler options. So, for example, the recreation center "Solnechnaya". This institution is located on the largest island of the freshwater lake - Olkhon. Here, travelers are offered not only accommodation, but also transfers and excursion packages. As for any other place, seasonality is also a feature that characterizes recreation on Lake Baikal. Prices for accommodation from the first of July to the end of August in almost every institution grow. So, this season, the Solnechnaya base provides travelers with the opportunity to relax in a cozy economy class room for 1,200 rubles per person. If you want to live in a house - the cost increases by two hundred and fifty monetary units. The price includes three meals a day.

Until the first of July and after the twentieth of August, similar apartments will cost the traveler 950 and 1200 rubles. Private rooms with dry closets are available. This establishment is one of the most inexpensive vacation options on the island.

Private sector

Someboarding houses and tourist bases allow you to cook in shared kitchens. Then the cost of living per day decreases. If you want to spend your holidays on hikes and excursions, you should not order a set lunch. You can choose to cook on your own, visit cafeterias or order food at the chosen hotel. Any of the opportunities is provided by the guest complex "Rainbow", located in the village of Maksimikha. Despite the opinion that it is quite expensive to rest in this area, here you can find a very acceptable option that can be an excellent alternative to overseas resorts. Accommodation in this village can give you the best vacation on Lake Baikal. The private sector or commercial boarding houses - any of the establishments offers tourists a wide range of services. At the same time, the range of services varies depending on the preferences of customers and their financial capabilities.

Beds and shared kitchen

So, an institution called "Rainbow" offers travelers a separate house with three entrances, the total capacity of which is twelve people, and a complex for sixteen people. Both rooms can be fully rented. The house has three rooms, two of which are designed for three people, and the last - for six. The cost of living for one person is seven hundred rubles. In the guest complex - nine hundred monetary units per day. This does not include meals. You can cook your own food on the stoves installed in the guest house or order in a complex.

Bedrooms are also located here: on the top floor of the guest complex there are small rooms with single and double beds. The cost per person is 400 rubles.
