A high point on Barguzin Bay's east shore — views over Baikal and the river mouth.
Mount Mituha
Mount Mituha rises above taiga on Barguzin Bay's east shore. ~800 m; summit and slopes view the bay, Barguzin mouth and far shore. Routes through forest and rock; trails not always marked. Several hours' climb — treaded shoes and water. Not a developed tourist site — no lifts or summit cafés. For prepared hikers, not a one-hour stroll. Best in dry summer; mud and snow in spring and autumn. Winter only for equipped climbers. Base in Ust-Barguzin or bay villages — allow a full day.
How to get there
Dirt roads from Ust-Barguzin or bay villages to the foot; then on foot.
Best season
July–August in dry weather
