Autumn kaleidoscope. The most active tour to Adygea

After breakfast, we take an all-terrain vehicle to the upper part of the gorge.

It is this part that is the most picturesque and remote.

We walk to the waterfalls along a path among the stone labyrinths.

The water breaks from the high terraces onto the vast expanses of the gorge. 

Vegetation gives the local places a flavor — beech thickets of trees entwined with Colchian ivy.

Refreshing air, a delicious snack on the route, a leisurely walk through picturesque places.

Return to the base, dinner.

After a delicious dinner, we suggest spending the evening in a light game atmosphere or watching themed movies.

After breakfast, we will be taken by car to the checkpoint of the reserve (20 km), from where the route will begin.

On this day we are going on a real hike!

It will take place on the territory of the reserve, in the area of alpine meadows. 

Our way lies through the Stone Sea.  

Ahead is the boundless expanse of the plateau with karst craters and dazzling white patches of snowfields, a breathtaking panorama from a height of more than two kilometers to the peaks of gray Oshten, Fisht and much more.

The route does not require special training — it is a simple tracking!

In the evening, return to the base, dinner.

After dinner, we "warm up" our emotions in the hot thermal springs. 

It's time to compare the sunset on the plain with the mountain views of the past day. 

The soft and relaxing effect of the thermal spring water, the diffused warm steam rising above the surface of the pool, the stars of the night sky, the play of light and sound — all this is an excellent end to a good day!

On an all—terrain vehicle with an open body, we are moving along an old forest drag, this front road runs through a fir forest - this in itself is great. 

Our first goal is to walk along the canyon from Universitetskiy Waterfall to Chinarskiy.

Along the way, it will be interesting to learn the history of the ruins of an ancient fortress lying above the canyon. 

We study the geological landscape, the world of relict plants, and swim if desired.

Leaving the canyon behind, we continue driving on our all-terrain vehicle. 

We pass the Old Russian farm with its distinctive outskirts and monasteries of monks. 

Next is the village of Mezmai. 

Seven kilometers from the village, or rather above it, there is a sheer cliff at a bird's-eye height, in which a human-sized groove seems to have been specially left so that people could walk and be impressed.

We are gaining altitude. 

The Kurjips River meanders below, and along it a narrow-gauge railway that goes into the famous Guam Gorge.

The valley, the mountains, the rocks — the place is incredibly beautiful!

The route is designed for beginner climbers on specially prepared trails (steep walls from 10 to 25 meters).

We are learning to climb by free climbing and descend by a roller coaster, all this will be very useful for us on the routes!

We are going on a journey through the labyrinths of the underworld — into wild caves. 

We are going on the road in an SUV.

Following the wild caves, we make a stop at the grotto (the parking lot of primitive man). 

Excavations are currently underway here, so there will be something to listen to, imagine, and feel.

So, wild caves!

You can know a lot about them, but once inside, you begin to really feel their beauty and primevalness.

Our wild cave is one of the most beautiful karst cavities.

Going down into the depths, you steadily feel the spirit of the researcher in yourself. 

This feeling does not leave you until the evening. 

Our experiment will also be remembered — the "magical sounds of music" in complete darkness. 

After the route, we return to the base, where natural home cooking awaits us, gatherings in warm company by the fireplace with a guitar.

Diversity is the specialty of mountainous Adygea.

The granite gorge is a grandiose sight, water and stone are a confrontation that generates beauty.

Photos in such picturesque places will be exceptionally successful!

We approach the narrow places where the water is trapped in a granite vise. 

The proximity to the rushing stream causes special emotions!

We have lunch on the loan of our raft base.

Then the alloy. 

The route begins beyond the threshold of Kishi-2, an obstacle of the fourth category, but the route is not difficult in shallow water. 

There are several beautiful waterfalls flowing into the river near the village of Khamyshki. 

The route ends at the entrance to the Granite Canyon.

After the route, we return to the base

After dinner, we are waiting in the cafe — we will play, chat, share our impressions.

After breakfast, we leave in the direction of the Lago Naki plateau. 

After reaching the Chute gorge (1700 meters above sea level), we climb to the observation point. 

From here you can enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the plateau, rock outcrops up to 100 meters high... It's all breathtaking. 

Next, we will walk through the wild forest above the Kurdzhipsky tract. 

When we get to the wildest and most beautiful places, we arrange a rest break. 

It will turn out to be extremely tasty and desirable.

The route is circular, so we manage to get to the most interesting places.

In the late afternoon, tired but happy, we return to the base, where we will have a delicious dinner, natural home cooking, gatherings in a warm company by the fireplace — a great end to our vacation!

Breakfast is served at 9:00.

10:00 Transfer to Krasnodar / Mineralnye Vody (extra charge).
