Visiting the highlanders. Winter trip to Chechnya and Ingushetia

During the tour, you will get acquainted with two regions: the Chechen Republic and the Republic of Ingushetia — and make a powerful impression on the life, culture and way of life of local peoples.  

In Chechnya, you will visit the visiting card of the region — the mosque "Heart of Chechnya", as well as the mosques "Pride of Muslims" and "Mother's Heart"; the latter will amaze you with its height and modern architectural solutions. As a bonus, you will have a gorgeous photo shoot in national costumes!

Ingushetia, the smallest republic of the North Caucasus, will reveal to you its secrets, which are kept in ancient castle complexes. The tour program includes the most famous "business cards" of the region — Thaba-Yerdy, Vnushki, Erzi, Egikal.

Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Arrival. Fearsome

    Meeting at the airport of the capital of the Chechen Republic — the city of Grozny or the railway station.

    Accommodation in hotels is possible only after the excursion program.

    Lunch.

    The order of the tour can be changed at the discretion of the guide.

    Acquaintance with Grozny will begin with an excursion to one of the largest mosques in Europe – the "Heart of Chechnya", which is an exact copy of the "Blue Mosque" in Istanbul and the hallmark of Grozny – its exterior and interior walls are decorated with the rarest travertine marble, and the interior is richly decorated with white marble, which is mined on the island of Marmara Adasy in The Sea of Marmara.

    Visit to the Grozny City high-rise complex: the panoramic platform allows you to admire the urban surroundings from a height of 33 floors (during opening hours). 

    Next to the complex there is an amazingly beautiful flower park, where we will have a photo shoot in the alley of hearts.

    Also during the tour we will visit the Church of the Archangel Michael, built at the end of the 19th century by the Terek Cossacks, which houses an ancient icon that survived the destruction of the temple during the war.

    As part of our tour, we will visit the architectural pearl of Grozny – an English castle opened after restoration, which combines elements of Romanesque and Gothic style.
