Among the mountains, high and mighty. Winter Tour

The winter Caucasus is the best place to escape from the gray everyday life, get rid of annoying installations and challenge yourself! On this tour, we will be able to immerse ourselves in the magical atmosphere of the Caucasus and be filled with inspiration and freedom of the mountains.

We will drive along the most popular route through the Daryal Gorge, go to Grozny — a very beautiful and hospitable city, reborn from the ashes of a distant war, and also learn the secrets of the construction and location of medieval defensive structures.
