Expeditions along the GBT and project “ON TRAIL”

The GBT Association has signed a cooperative agreement with the travel-blogger Sergey Nakonechny.

We are launching two new projects at once: an educational expedition and a new GBT tourism cluster.

An educational expedition will take place from August 8-12, 2021 along the route Listvyanka - Bolshiye Koti - Bolshoy Kadilny Cape - Bolshoe Goloustnoe- Podkamen border. The program includes an introductory course in trail building. This service will be available to a wide range of people next year by pre-order at pr@greatbaikaltrail.org.

The new GBT tourist cluster consists of hiking 56 km of the GBT trails and obtaining the appropriate certificate and medal. The project is called ON TRAIL and is designed to popularize domestic tourism, promote a healthy lifestyle and support GBT.
