Search flights from OVB to UUD
Eastern Sayan Mountains
Sharp, alpine peaks rising significantly above the surrounding plateau during the cruise phase.
Khamar-Daban Range
High ridges that border the southern shore of Lake Baikal, offering dramatic elevation changes.
Southern Baikal Coast
The iconic area where the steep mountains meet the crystal-clear water of the lake's southern tip.
Selenga River Delta
Intricate wetlands and complex marshland channels visible just before landing.
Ivolginsky Datsan
Look for the colorful roofs of Russia's most famous Buddhist center located west of the airport.
Priority for mountain lovers. The Eastern Sayans provide a rugged backdrop for most of the flight. The descent over the Khamar-Daban range into the Selenga valley is particularly scenic in the late afternoon when the peaks cast long shadows.
Book Hotels in Ulan-ude
Ob River
Aerial view of the massive river system and the Novosibirsk reservoir shortly after takeoff.
Central Siberian Taiga
Dense, unbroken coniferous forest stretching towards the northern horizon for hundreds of miles.
Trans-Siberian Railway
Glimpses of the legendary rail line cutting through the wilderness near the Angara River basin.
Northern Baikal
Panoramic view of the lake's deep blue surface and Olkhon Island in the distance during the initial descent.
Ulan-Ude Panorama
The city's urban layout and the confluence of the Uda and Selenga rivers.
Best for capturing the northern horizon and the vastness of the Central Siberian Plateau. If flying in the morning, the left side avoids direct sunlight, making it easier to photograph the distant Lake Baikal horizon.
