In the morning we stopped at Ogoi, a small island with a Buddhist stupa
(shrine). Ogoi island is located in Maloe More (the small sea), a
shallow productive body of water between the mainland and Ol'khon
Island. Next, in the town of Khuzhir on Ol'khon Island we toured a
museum focusing on the history and culture of the area. Finally, we saw
Shamanka Rock, sacred to the Buryat people. Unfortunately, considerable
erosion surrounds this sacred site because of unregulated tourism.
We travel on!
