Chivyrkuyskiy Zaliv

Chivyrkuyskiy Zaliv extends along the northeastern section of Lake Baikal, bordered by the Svyatoi Nos peninsula and Barguzinsky mountain range.

The bay has maintained its ecological balance through generations of local communities who relied on fishing and natural resources for their sustenance.

Three settlements near the bay - Kurbulik, Katun, and Monakhovo - preserve traditional practices of sustainable fishing and natural resource management.

Visitors need permits to enter the Zabaikalsky National Park, and can access the bay via bus routes 302, 300, or 320 from Ulan-Ude.

Seven protected islands within the bay function as reserves for waterfowl nesting grounds, including Baikal teals, ducks, and goldeneyes.
