A small forest lake in Ivolginsky District — quiet fishing and short walks.

Region: Republic of BuryatiaCoordinates: 52°3′N 107°27′E

Lake Erban

Lake Erban lies in pine forest north of Ulan-Ude. Small, partly marshy shores; fresh, cool water even in summer. Popular with local anglers; almost no tourist infrastructure — no serviced beaches or cafés. For quiet, not entertainment. Forest roads; muddy after rain. High clearance or walk from the nearest road. Combine with other district forest lakes — Kotokel or datsan routes. Follow fishing rules and leave no fire scars — managed but fragile forest.

How to get there

Forest roads from Ulan-Ude in Ivolginsky District; navigation and fuel reserve.

Best season

June–September; winter ice fishing when ice is safe
