Day 3 - Route to wild caves, geothermal springs
On this day, we invite you to an amazing journey through the labyrinths of the underworld — into wild caves.
We're going on an off-road vehicle.
Following the wild caves, we make a stop at the grotto (the site of primitive man).
Excavations are currently underway here, so there will be something to listen to, imagine, and feel.
You can know a lot about them, but once inside, you really begin to feel their beauty and primevalness.
Our wild cave is one of the most beautiful karst cavities.
Some of its leaky formations are composed of soft calcite, which makes it white.
As you descend into the depths, you steadily feel the spirit of the explorer within you.
This feeling doesn't leave you until the evening.
We will also remember our experiment — "magical sounds of music" in total darkness.
This evening (by agreement with the group) you can go to the hot springs.
The gentle 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 — all this is an excellent end to a good day.

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 hiking clothing made of synthetic materials, as it provides good ventilation, dries quickly, does not crease, and is more comfortable when moving.

The journey does not begin with the road, but with the preparation for it. You need to prepare especially carefully if you are going on vacation to a mountainous area.

The climate of Adygea.

Adygea has a unique climatic zone, which is determined by its geographical location. Mountain ranges, the proximity of the Black Sea, wide plains, forests, gorges of mountain rivers form a fairly warm and mild climate with the purest mountain air and moderate humidity.

On average, the Republic of Adygea has 200-250 sunny days per year and 115-150 days with precipitation. Precipitation distribution is uneven, especially in mountainous areas.

The wind depends on the terrain: strong winds can blow in the open space of the Lago Naki Plateau, and there is little wind in the forests and gorges. The main thing to remember is that a strong wind from the sea always brings warm and good weather.

Our routes and weather

To choose the right equipment for your vacation, you need to understand that our routes are located in two climatic zones. The base is located somewhere in the middle between them (1100 m above sea level). The higher up the mountain, the lower the temperature. In May and June, the contrasts are especially noticeable: everything is blooming and warm below, while in the mountains there are flowers and snow.

The "lower" routes are located in the foothills with a warm, mild climate: Rufabgo waterfalls, Khadjokh Gorge, Meshoko Gorge, Granite Canyon and rafting on the Belaya River, Guzeripl eco-center, Eagle Shelf and Guam Gorge, thermal springs.

The "upper" routes are located in the southern, but already mountainous part of Adygea, which is characterized by a cooler high-altitude climate: this is definitely the Lago Naki Plateau, climbing the city of Oshten and a walk through Kurdzhips, as well as wild caves. Snow in the highlands lies until the middle of May, sometimes until the end of the month. The main danger in the mountains: winds and sudden weather changes. Important: when climbing the city of Oshten, hail, snow, strong wind, and sudden temperature changes may begin.

Before traveling, be sure to check the weather forecast for your vacation week by location.

To make it easier to navigate, we divided the items into groups. Each one listed the required items. Additional notes as desired.

documents

Russian Federation passport (internal) - just in case, print out a copy of the main page of the passport and send the scan to yourself by e-mail.
Medical insurance policy (compulsory medical insurance and optional medical travel insurance against accidents).
Bank card (shops have card payments, there are ATMs in the village, many souvenir shops accept transfers).
Cash (to pay for the transfer, additional services in the form of baths and massages, for buying souvenirs and gifts).
Documents for the child: 1) passport, 2) birth certificate, 3) student's certificate (if you are traveling by train).

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.
In our database, only Beeline provides good Internet access. At the Gorny summer glamping camp, all operators are caught.
Powerbank or compact external battery (optional: our base has electricity).
Headphones (optional: for airplane, train, listening to music in the evening).
Sleep mask, earplugs, inflatable pillow (optional: for flights, trains).

You can leave the hair dryer at home – we issue it at the base.

MEDICAL PREPARATIONS

All that your doctor has prescribed for you. Additionally, we take: "from the head", "from the stomach", antispasmodics, from allergies.

USEFUL EQUIPMENT:

Swimming trunks/swimsuit and flip-flops (not flip-flops!) – for thermal springs, rafting, canyoning and swimming in waterfalls.
A small backpack (20-30 liters) – it is convenient to take things with you for a walk.
The tourist seat (trunk, podpopnik) is collapsible or with an elastic band. The price starts from 250 rubles.
Sunglasses (polarized ones are better, because they protect the eyes from white snow).
The poncho raincoat is thick (! required): cellophane bags for 100-200 rubles will not last even a day.
Hiking gaiters or flashlights for feet: from mud and rain. The price is 800-1000 rubles. It's a useful thing in the mountains.
A hermetic package for your phone and photo and video equipment (in case of rain and for canyoning). You can replace it with a cellophane bag as a last resort.
Gardening/construction rubberized gloves 1 pair (optional). The price is 50-250 rubles. They are great for helping with "dirty" weather.
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 your vacation.

Hygienic lipstick or lip balm (required! for both boys and girls – from the wind and the sun).

TRAVEL SHOES and CLOTHES

When choosing clothes to participate in an active tour, keep in mind that they should protect you from wind, rain (even snow in the mountains, miracles happen in summer), sun 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.

shoes. Comfortable sports shoes. Two pairs of waterproof and non-slip soles are required!

The first pair is lightweight and quick–drying sneakers with non-slip soles (for walking, canyoning and rock climbing).
The second pair is trekking shoes, cross-country sneakers. If you have trekking boots, they will also work (especially if the tour includes climbing the city of Oshten).
Rubber flip-flops for visiting thermal springs and walking around the base by number.

For cold weather

Jacket (windproof, waterproof).
Hiking pants (windproof, waterproof).
Fleece jacket (required! – for all weather conditions).
Down or fleece vest (optional).
A set of lightweight thermal underwear (optional).
Warm wool socks (merino, alpaca) 1 pair. Look at the fishing shop – they know a lot about warm clothes.
A fleece hat (believe me, it may come in handy).
Fleece gloves (believe me, they may come in handy).

For climbing the city of Oshten:

Thermal underwear for sports (for temperatures from -5.. to +15 ° C). It can be used as a bottom layer in the evening at a campground and at night instead of pajamas).
Fleece gaiter (buffy) / warm shawl – to insulate the throat and neck.
Note: do not forget the fleece hat and gloves! They are definitely needed here.

For warm weather

Synthetic T-shirts 2-3 pieces, one of them with long sleeves!
Shorts / light hiking or sweatpants.
Trekking summer socks 2-3 pairs. You can use the usual ones.

about tour - Summer adventures in Adygea

3 Dec, 2025

I booked this tour for my son, and I’m writing based on his impressions! He was very happy with everything, the organization was clear, and the program itself was interesting, though definitely meant for those who are physically fit! He loves extreme activities, so it was perfect for him! The mountain campsite is located in the forest, it wasn’t hot there, the cabins were cozy, and the food was hearty and tasty! His only regret is that the tour was just 5 days, he wished he could have stayed longer! He might even do it again in the fall!

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.
