You can stop very close to the lake, for example, in the village of Listvyanka, or in the more lively Irkutsk – and make outings to nature from there. It is better to think of excursions in advance (still it is the end of the season, and all the programs come to an end), but at the beginning of October many of them are still available.
So, you have a wide range to choose from for your wonderful holidays in October. Have fun, guys!
