Getting to know the Chechen Republic

9:10 Excursion to Kezenoi Am (107 km). 

The journey from Grozny to the lake takes about 3 hours.

The road to the lake passes through the village of Kharachoy, a village remarkable for its location and history. 

The road connecting Chechnya and Dagestan has been passing through it since time immemorial. 

Stop at the monument to Abrek Zelimkhan u, here is the Maiden Spit waterfall.

To get to the lake, you need to overcome the Andean ridge. 

The road continues along the right treeless slope of the deep gorge of the Hulhulau River.

Lunch.

Next, an excursion to the ancient village. 

From the western bay of Lake Kezenoy Am, it is only two kilometers to the fortified fortress city of Hoi.

Its battle and signal towers loomed over a deep gorge.

The mountain slopes here are lined with dozens of ancient artificial terraces for agriculture.

On the way back from the lake, we will stop in the city of Shali to visit the grandiose mosque of the Pride of Muslims, admire its architecture in night illumination, luxurious oriental decoration, enjoy a beautifully planned garden with hundreds of rose bushes.

Return to the city after 19:00.

09:10 Transfer to the southern part of Chechnya for a tour of the Argun gorge.

The ancient road that we follow into the mountains leads up the gorge of the stormy Chanta-Argun River. 

We will follow it to reach the villages of Itum-Kali and Tazbichi, then turn up to glamping. 

A short stop at the Nihaloy waterfalls. 

Next to the waterfalls in a picturesque place is the Nihaloyskie Waterfalls campsite.

On the way you will see the ancient twin towers.

In the village of Itum-Kali, you will have an exciting excursion to the Hussein Isaev Museum of Local Lore, on the territory of the Phakoch castle complex. 

This museum is located in an amazing place: it houses ancient weapons, utensils, household items, tools, a luxurious dress of a noble Chechen woman, which are more than a hundred years old.

10:30 Departure to Choi Pede. 

Attention! The route provides for a short hike of low difficulty, however, it requires strength. We ask you to measure your strength.

Tsoi-Pede is a place of sacred burials. 

The atmosphere of the past is untouched here, tourists rarely get here. 

Translated from Chechen, "tsoi-pede" sounds like "the settlement of the deity." 

There are 46 cultural heritage sites of the XVI-XVII centuries in this place. 

Including stone crypts and two battle towers, one of which is decorated with mosaics. 

It is not long to climb up from the road, while the slope is sensitive, so we go slowly.

There is enough free time for photo shoots and a short walk.

After that, descent and return to glamping for lunch.

Important! Without a passport, the border guards will not let you through to Choi Pede.

Lunch. 

Free time after lunch.

The top of Tichh Duk mountain, on which glamping is built, is the ancestral land of the Magomed and Elina Bataev family. 

Magomed knows 11 generations of his ancestors by name. 

You are welcome guests on the lands of an ancient Chechen family.

Glamping is located next to a cultural object of federal significance — the skeleton of the ancestral tower.

The tower is about 600 years old. Magomed and Elina are building a home museum. 

Each object can be touched and interacted with. 

Try to turn stone millstones, which are about 200 years old, for fun. 

Or to let the wheel of an ancient spinning wheel spin. 

Strum the dechig-pondar strings. 

And if you dare to do a feat after lunch, knock down the butter in the churn of the century before last!

The main thing that happens to our guests at glamp is a soft reboot, relaxation, getting rid of disturbing thoughts.
