Adventures among the Caucasus Mountains: from the Bermamyt Plateau to the Chegem Waterfalls

About the tour

This trip is a cross between jepping and hiking.

The journey begins with one popular place that everyone who visited Karachay-Cherkessia has heard about – the Bermamyt Plateau.

And then our journey will pass through less studied and popular locations.

These places are a kind of steppe, only at high altitude, unique in their flora and fauna, their geographical features, as well as geology. And we will try to carefully touch these secrets.

As for the surrounding species – they are ideal for those who want to look the mountains in the eyes!

The best panoramic points, heights, ideal to be located just above the fog, but just below the clouds, and autumn colors will not leave anyone indifferent.
