Arshan Resort

Arshan is the perfect retreat for those seeking hot springs, fresh mountain air, and a sense of time slowing down. This small village in the Tunkinsky Valley attracts travelers with its simplicity, natural splendor, and authentic Buryat atmosphere. The hot mineral springs located right in the village are an ideal spot to rejuvenate after a long journey or exhausting hikes. Surrounded by mountains, pine forests, rivers, and crystal-clear springs, the area feels like a wild haven, despite its well-developed tourist infrastructure. Its proximity to the Tunkinsky National Park makes it an excellent base for day trips, multi-day treks, lake visits, and mountaineering adventures. Cultural highlights include Buryat cuisine, shamanic and Buddhist traditions, and the warm hospitality of the locals. You can reach Arshan from the nearest cities, Ulan-Ude and Irkutsk, by bus, minibus, or a rented car.
