Hello everyone!
I'm a volunteer with Great Baikal Trail and would like to invite you to take part in our 2015 volunteer projects! It's a unique opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful and miraculous lakes in the world (Lake Baikal), learn about new culture, enjoy life in a primitive and natural setting, and meet new friends - all while contributing to regional eco-tourism development and having a lot of fun!
A usual GBT trailbuilding project lasts two weeks, which volunteers spend living in tents, taking turns to make their food over campfire and working six days a week (5-6 hours a day depending on the weather). There are days off, which give volunteers a chance to go hiking or visit places of interest in a local area.
GBT projects are run at a variety of locations around the lake - you can take a look at 2014 project descriptions now, and we'll have 2015 projects up before December.
Until then, we'll be happy to answer your questions! Or, you can take a look at our website: www.http://greatbaikaltrail.org/en
