Autumn kaleidoscope. The most active tour to Adygea

Travel for active people. We invite you to enjoy the autumn charm of the mountains of the Western Caucasus. 

We will have 6 active days on the tour: endless expanses of plateaus with karst craters and dazzling white patches of snowfields, a breathtaking panorama from a height of more than two kilometers, jeeping and rafting. 

And the soft and relaxing effect of the thermal spring water, the diffused warm steam rising from the surface of the pool, the stars of the night sky, the play of light and sound will be an excellent end to a good day!

It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour

Documents:

  • Russian Federation passport;
  • insurance policy (medical);
  • medical preparations for individual needs. All that your doctor has prescribed for you. Additionally, we take: "from the head", "from the stomach", antispasmodics, from allergies.

When choosing clothes to participate in an active tour, keep in mind that they should protect you from wind, rain, sun, insects and mechanical damage (branches, grass, stones). 

We recommend taking specialized clothing for tourism and sports made of synthetic materials, as it provides good ventilation, dries quickly, does not crease, and is more comfortable when moving. The main principle is layering: hot – undressed, cold – insulated.

In autumn, take clothes for warm and cool weather. 

For cool weather:

  • The jacket is windproof, waterproof;
  • down or fleece vest (optional);
  • warm sports/fleece suit (sweatshirt, pants);
  • fleece jacket (required! – for all weather conditions);
  • a set of thermal underwear (optional). Can be used as a bottom layer;
  • warm wool socks (merino, alpaca) 1 pair. Look at the fishing shop – they know a lot about warm clothes.;
  • scarf / warm shawl – to insulate the throat and neck;
  • a cap;
  • gloves are warm (fleece is better).

For warm weather:

  • synthetic T-shirts 2-3 pieces;
  • light sports trousers (required!). You can also take shorts (if the weather permits) or transformers trousers-shorts.;
  • socks (2-3 pairs of regular ones);
  • a hat for sunny weather is a cap/panama hat.

Footwear:

  • comfortable sportswear. Two pairs with non-slip soles are required! The first pair is high waterproof boots (if you have trekking shoes, it is better to take them). As an alternative for autumn: lightweight rubber (without liner) EVA boots. The second pair is sneakers with non–slip soles.;
  • rubber flip-flops for visiting thermal springs.

Useful equipment:

  • a small backpack (20-30 liters) – it is convenient to take things with you for a walk.;
  • sunglasses (preferably polarized);
  • The poncho raincoat is thick (! required): cellophane bags for 100-200 rubles will not last even a day.;
  • swimming trunks/swimsuit – for thermal springs;
  • hiking gaiters or flashlights for feet: from mud, rain and snow. The price is 800-1000 rubles. A useful thing for autumn weather;
  • gardening or construction rubberized gloves 1 pair (optional). The price is 50-250 rubles. Great help in "dirty" weather;
  • a hermetic package for your phone and photo and video equipment (in case of rain). You can replace it with a cellophane bag as a last resort.;
  • refillable water bottle or small 500 ml thermos (optional);
  • trekking poles (optional). If you have a problem with your knees, hip joints, or ankles, they will help you a lot. If your sticks don't fit in your luggage, don't worry – we'll give you sticks at the base for the whole week of rest.

Gadgets:

  • Smartphone and charging: there is almost no steady Internet signal in the mountains, so if you need offline maps, music, books, videos, and TV series, it's better to download them in advance.;
  • portable charger or compact external battery (optional: our base has electricity);
  • a device for storing and transferring data (USB flash drive) or an external hard drive (optional) – for sharing photos and videos from routes. The guides live in the mountains and can't send you photos that they take along the route.;
  • you can leave the hair dryer at home – we give it out at the base.;
  • for photo and video equipment, take care of airtight packaging in case of rain.

The organizer provides all the necessary equipment for the active part of the tours (equipment rental is included in the price of the tour).

    The glamping site is set in a beautiful, picturesque location. I’d especially like to highlight the dining - every dish was delicious, and you could tell that a lot of care went into the menu. Nothing was ever repeated, which was a nice touch. The only downside for me was that the showers didn’t always work reliably. I hope this will be improved in the future.
