Date: (Group A) 21–28 Feb 2026
Tour Fee: RM 9300
Group Size: Min 12 Pax
Lake Baikal, known as the “Pearl of Siberia,” is the deepest, oldest, and largest freshwater lake in the world by volume. It holds 20% of the planet’s freshwater resources and is also called the “Well of the World.” Not only is it abundant in water, but it is also rich in fish and other natural resources.
In winter, Lake Baikal takes on a completely different appearance — its unique blue ice and deep, alluring ice cracks create a mesmerizing spectacle, as if you’ve stepped onto a mysterious and beautiful icy alien planet. It’s an awe-inspiring sight.
Next winter, let’s witness this breathtaking “Frozen Wonderland” together!
