Baikal Museum
Another 2km towards Irkutsk at Rogatka, tour groups are herded into the Baikal Museum, where gruesomely discoloured fish samples and seal embryos in formaldehyde are now supplemented with tanks containing two frolicsome nerpa seals and various Baikal fish that you’d otherwise encounter on restaurant menus.

Baikal Dog Sledding Centre
