# Olchon Island

[**Edit this place**](https://cycleplanet.org/poi/91b1abbc-32f9-498d-9ba3-6e4aa0b913e0/edit)

If you take a trip to the Bajkal lake (Biggest fresh water body on earth) take the 2 min ferry to Olchon island where you can explore shaman rituals, see random cows in the morning, witness incredible silence and even see seals if you are lucky.

In the end of may, the lake which is frozen solid most of the year will melt and sometimes break the silence of the tundra with the sound of shattering glass

The island has had electricity since 2015
