Gamsutl — Chokh — Karadakh gorge.
Duration: 10 hours, 330 km.
Breakfast at 07:00. The program starts at 07:30.
Transfer to Gunibsky district. Gamsutl village, which is often called the ghost village or Dagestan Machu Picchu, is located at an altitude of 1,700 m. There is no road here, so you have to walk along the canyon for just over an hour. But it's worth it!
Gamsutl is considered one of the most ancient settlements in Dagestan, and although the village has been abandoned by people relatively recently, it seems that time has stopped here and everything around it looks more like the scenery for a movie.
On the opposite slope of the ridge is the mountainous village of Chokh, the birthplace of many prominent Dagestani scientists, educators and military aristocracy. The houses with colorful roofs are attached to each other, like floors in a high-rise building, with a mountain serving as one of the walls.
The Karadakh Gorge, which is called the "Gate of Wonders", is an extraordinary creation of nature. The height of the cliffs reaches 170 meters at the highest point, which creates the impression of an enclosed space. Steep slopes surround and squeeze from all sides, every step and sound echoes.
