It's important to know

Documents

The first and most important thing is the documents! PASSPORT and birth certificate of the child (if you are traveling with children). What for? Firstly, in your travels you will cross the borders of the subjects of the Russian Federation and therefore passport control is possible. Secondly, there is a discount for children on all cable cars, but only upon presentation of a birth certificate!

Clothes

Clothes should be light, comfortable and warm. Traveling through the mountains, you will most likely have to cross several climatic zones at once, which means that the temperature difference is guaranteed. Therefore, do not be lazy to put on several things at once. Let's have a T-shirt, a warm sweater, and a down vest on you. You can always take off the top "layer", or vice versa, quickly insulate yourself as needed. And be sure to wear warm, waterproof shoes. Don't forget your swimsuit and slippers. And also take spare dry socks with you (take them with you on excursions if your feet get wet). For women, a headscarf for visiting mosques and temples

Cosmetics

Sunscreen in order to avoid sunburn is simply necessary! After all, it is much easier to get them in the mountains than in the flat part. Do not forget a hygienic lipstick, because it is often windy in the mountains and you can chafe your lips. As well as sunglasses.

There is a certain excursion route on each day of the tour. On the day when it is proposed to choose an excursion, the tourist needs to decide on an excursion when buying a tour. Otherwise, the organizer reserves the right to determine the tour at its discretion and in this case no claims will be accepted.

The manager calls all tourists before arrival to clarify all the details of the tour.

A meeting with a representative of the tour operator is held from 13.00 to 14.00 in the hotel lobby. The exact time in the notification the day before.

Daily communication with the tourist:

Every day, the company's manager will contact tourists: inform them of the bus number for the tour and specify the time and place of boarding. For morning excursions, the bus number is reported after 20:00 on the eve of the trip, for lunch excursions, the bus number is reported an hour before the start.

The place of landing on the tour:

When purchasing an excursion tour without accommodation, boarding on the tour is carried out at the address of the ave. Kirova 23 (entrance to the Flower Garden Park), regardless of the place of residence.
