Two gorges of Kabardino-Balkaria in one day

Chegem Beauty and the City of the Dead

Three mountain waterfalls are one of the main centers of attraction in the region. You will be able to appreciate their enchanting landscapes both in summer and winter, when the rocks are decorated with ice tiles. You will learn a dramatic legend about their origin. Later, passing through the Chegem cliff, you will feel the full power of the Caucasus Mountains. And then I will take you to the small village of Eltuby, in the vicinity of which you will visit the City of the Dead. I will tell about burials of the 5th century AD, crypts of the 9th-11th centuries, explain the historical value of the finds and share local mystical stories. See the security tower of the 14th century and get acquainted with the work of the “people’s poet Kaisyn Kuliev” In the popular project "Book in stone"

Gizhgit and the splendor of the “three thousand”

To Lake Gizhgit you will pass through the picturesque Aktorak pass, which offers chic views of the surrounding Baksan gorge. Here you can take stunning pictures of powerful “three thousand” and then go down to the reservoir. I will show the best observation deck, from which the lake can be seen in the palm of your hand, and along the way I will tell you how it appeared and what its uniqueness is. The return road will lie along the bed of the Baksan River in the gorge of the same name.

During the trip, you will hear not only the legends and history of the region, but also learn about the different ethnic origins of the peoples who gave the name to the republic: Kabardians and Balkars. And according to the traditions of local hospitality, I will definitely treat you with freshly brewed tea from mountain herbs.
