Tour to Dagestan: reboot of beauty and emotions

Tour dates: April 30 - May 8.

Your impressions.

• Admire the rays of the sun at sunset from the top of the largest sand barchan in Europe. Here you can sit on the warm sand and look into the distance, or you can frolic like a child, taking absolutely unthinkable photos.
• Visit the water mill where urbech is made - a very tasty paste of flax seeds and nuts. The owner will tell you about the production and, of course, treat your products!
• Get acquainted with the technology of production of buroks and people who all their lives are engaged in this craft. Unique people and a unique place in the whole Caucasus!
• Be enchanted by the waterfall Tobot - one of the highest waterfalls not only in mountainous Dagestan, but throughout the North Caucasus. Views from here amaze even experienced travelers!
• Surprise the unique fault in the rock, which is a monument of nature. The Karadakh cliff is only up to 2 m wide and as much as 150 m high. Feel like a pioneer!
• Visit many ancient villages of Dagestan, plunge into their leisurely life, observe it and meet very hospitable people.
• Enjoy the endlessly interchangeable mountain scenery. Snow-white peaks, flowering slopes, grazing sheep and goats, tiny houses scattered like a toy installation.
• Feel the beating of your heart looking at the ancient art of tightrope walkers. To overcome the abyss with minimal insurance is not for everyone.
• Learn about how handmade jewelry and folk crafts are made. Immerse yourself in the art process and discover some secrets!
• Visit the colorful markets. The atmosphere of the local bazaars is a delight for any traveler and photographer.
• Be enchanted by the turquoise waters of Sulak Canyon and Chirkey Reservoir. Watching eagles hover over the mountains is endless!
• A trip to Dagestan is an opportunity to take photos that all your friends will envy!
