Big Country Travel: Trips to Russia, Adventure Tours & Vacation Packages

11 more

The best tour to explore Bashkiria! A real digital detox: you will live where there is no mobile connection. You will climb the most beautiful cliffs of the republic and appreciate the unique landscapes of the Southern Urals.

And then take a trip to the famous Muradimov gorge, which amazes the imagination. On shihan Toratau, you can get into the past, because it was here that the sea was 230 million years ago.

Ufa, the capital of Bashkiria, a fusion of national and modern, where even fast food has a unique local flavor, will be a great end to the tour.
