Baikal is not just an exotic spot on the map. It’s a journey inward, into something greater.
Something real.

Baikal-Alaska: More Than just a Trip
Two continents – one spirit
Once, Russian merchants and Cossacks set sail from Lake Baikal, crossing Siberia’s rivers to the Pacific Ocean, then reaching the shores of Alaska and California.
In 1812, Irkutsk fur traders, built Fort Ross in Northern California, a Russian outpost in the New World.
It was the era of the Russian-American Company, whose double-headed eagle still symbolizes this daring frontier spirit — a spirit born in both Siberia and America, shared across the ocean.

Invitation for Alaska Travel Agency Owners
June 25th of 2025, we are honored to invite a select group of travel agents
and tour operators from Alaska to experience Lake Baikal and Irkutsk firsthand!
Join us for an exclusive exploration of Siberia's wild beauty.
Experience these majestic lands not from brochures, but side by side with those who call it home.
If you feel the call of a new frontier, let’s connect.
You’re Probably Wondering…
Yes, it is absolutely legal to visit here. There are no restrictions on the US or the Russia side.
It is not difficult to get a visa if you use an agency, like “LetsRussia.com.” You can get plane tickets but you will have to fly from a country that is friendly with Russia, like China, Turkey or Georgia.
The Russian travel industry is highly developed. You can rent a modern apartment or stay at a hotel with all the conveniences, like Baikal Alaska. However, if you want to experience the nature of Baikal and stay in a tent or log cabin, this option is also available.
There is no threat of being arrested in Russia as long as you obey the laws and adhere to the traditional values of this country. The mainstream media has exaggerated this issue by focusing on the small number of Americans who run afoul of Russian laws.
Thousands of Americans come to Russia every year. Statistically, you run a bigger risk of getting killed in a car accident in America than in getting arrested in Russia.

Yes, you will be able to access the Internet and use your phone. It is advisable to get a Russian phone/data plan and phone number for the duration of your visit. Russian phone plans are easy to get and inexpensive.
However, you will have to buy a Russian sim card to get a Russian phone plan. That can be somewhat complicated but our team will help you.

That’s correct. However, you have at least two other options. One is to bring American dollars in cash and exchange them for rubles at a Russian bank or currency exchange kiosk. But the dollar bills should be in perfect condition (no folds, wrinkles, creases or marks).
The second option is the crypto route. Set up a crypto account, then find a person or online exchange that can exchange your crypto into rubles. In any case, you can talk with our team about solutions.

Siberia is safe with friendly people that are always willing to help. When venturing into nature, caution is advised and you should speak with a local expert first. The food and water is very clean and healthy.
In addition, emergency rescue and medical services in Russia, and especially in the Irkutsk area, are highly advanced. You are especially secure when traveling with Russian tour operators, such as Baikal-Alaska. The Irkutsk area also has a strong network of hospitals, emergency rooms and pharmacies.
