'''Severobaykalsk''' (Russian: Северобайкальск) is a city in [[Russia]], located in the northwest corner of [[Lake Baikal]]. Although it is administratively part of [[Buryatia]], reaching the republican capital [[Ulan-Ude]] by land from Severobaykalsk is not possible.

== Hitchhiking out ==
=== Northeast towards [[Nizhneangarsk]] and [[Uoyan]] via the "BAM Bypass Road" ===
* From the train station, walk along the avenue past the market to the intersection with Studencheskaya Street and turn right, crossing the BAM railway by bridge. After the bridge, turn sharply left and hitchhike there. Alternatively, cross the tracks using the pedestrian bridge and walk about 800 meters between the woods and the BAM to reach the same spot.

=== Northwest towards [[Ulkan]] and [[Ust-Kut]] via the "BAM Bypass Road" ===
* On the same Studencheskaya Street, turn left. There will be a petrol station at the northern edge of the city, and after another kilometer you'll see the city entrance monument "Severobaykalsk".

* You can camp along the wooded banks of the Tyya River in the southern part of the city, or on the pebble shore of Lake Baikal towards Nizhneangarsk. The city beach is less suitable for sleeping – at night, it tends to attract drunk locals who light fires.
* On Yarki Island, there is a guarded tent camp in the summer.
