Itinerary

  • Day 1 - With the breeze on the boat
    • Meeting at the airport: at 7:00 Uytash airport, this pick-up point is suitable for you if you arrive on the first day of the tour (I recommend choosing arrival before 6:00 so that flight delays do not affect the tour program).
    • Meeting in Makhachkala and the start of the tour: at 8:00 at the southern bus station, 344 Amet Khan Sultan Street, this collection point will suit those who arrived in Dagestan in advance.

    The program of the day:

    • Sarykum dune is a Dagestan desert, one of the largest sand dunes in Eurasia and the largest dune in Europe. I advise girls to take their best outfits for spectacular shots. We will visit a mini-desert, run along the sand and get a boost of energy from the local environment. 
    • Lunch at Glavryb – ecotourcomplex, the best trout farm in Dagestan, is located on the banks of the turquoise Sulak River. In Dagestan, it is customary to feed the guest first, it is in Glavryba that we will taste fresh trout, from which you will lick your fingers (those who wish can replace it with a lamb, beef or chicken kebab).
    • Boats along the canyon are my favorite, you and I will ride with the breeze through the canyon itself and sail under the most beautiful waterfalls of Sulak. To ride a boat through the canyon, you need to go down in jeeps from the Main Fishing along the beautiful road along the canyon itself to the river pier in the village of Zubutli. 
    • Sulak Canyon is the business card of the Republic of Dagestan, the deepest canyon in Europe, depth 1920 m. length more than 53 km. 
    • The Hadum observation deck is the most popular observation deck located in the village. The oaks are at an altitude of 860 meters above sea level.  Climbing the highest observation deck of the canyon, we will admire the turquoise waters and enjoy the power and beauty of the canyon. 
    • The mother–in-law's Tongue observation deck is a rocky ledge overlooking the beginning of the canyon and the Chirkeyskaya Dam, which is the largest arched platinum in Russia. This viewing room is suitable for fans of extreme sports and thrills. 
    • The Chirkeyskoye reservoir is the largest reservoir in the North Caucasus, formed on the Sulak River, with a depth of 220 m and an area of 42 t. sq. km.  We will find ourselves on this observation deck, where we will have time to spend the sunset with our loved ones and new friends. The locals call it the Chirkei Sea. 

    After all the adventures and cultural delights, we are going to stay in the legendary barn house - these are modern and cozy houses among high mountains and rocks.

    The territory has all the amenities: a cafe, a kitchen, cold and hot water, relaxation areas and free wi-fi. 

    Dinner – after accommodation, we will have dinner in the complex itself, a dinner of local national dishes. 

    After dinner, there will be an opportunity to gather around the campfire in a specially equipped place and continue communication and acquaintance, as well as listen to legends from the guide.

    about provider
    The organization of the tour was at the highest level, any issue was resolved as quickly as possible. A very well-designed program. Well, the guides were giving their attention to everyone. The family atmosphere they create would not leave without a slight sadness of saying goodbye. Our guide Ruslan took a separate place in my heart!
