Along the South Ural trail. A trip to Bashkiria

This adventure in the Southern Urals is like a real little expedition.

The full version of the 700-kilometer South Ural Trail passes through the mountainous parts of the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Chelyabinsk region.

We will visit a part of the trail where you will find picturesque ridges and Inzer jagged peaks, the top of Iremel and the mysterious Kapova cave. The tour combines active tracks, rafting and comfortable overnight stays in shelters and hotels, allowing you to enjoy nature without unnecessary equipment.

We will discover new landscapes every day and take with us the desire to return for the full version of the trail.
