Chechnya in the middle of summer. Guided tour

In just 4 days you will discover Chechnya from the most interesting angles. You will start with the dazzling Grozny, and then set off towards the summer coolness — into the very heart of the mountains.

The legendary lake Kezenoy-Am awaits you, where after the excursion program, a real mountain picnic with kebabs awaits you on the shore. You will feel the power of the ancient towers in the mysterious Argun gorge, and you will hear the sound of its waterfalls. 

The trip will end with a visit to the modern Veduchi mountain ski resort, where the mountain coolness will refresh and cheer you up, and the cable car will open up breathtaking views of the mountain ranges.

    Overall, everything was fine. The only downside was that there was a bit too much repeated information in the chat, so it was sometimes hard to remember which file contained the information I needed. Otherwise, everything was great
