Mountainous Dagestan is the path of the Emperor. Autumn trekking

You will regain a childish sense of great adventures, fun dangers and genuine excitement. Descent along the trail to the canyon, ascent to the plateau, the road to the ancient village, climbing the mountain and hiking along the trail of the emperor!

Extreme entertainment: rafting and quad biking. The bonus of the authentic Caucasus is the national Dagestani cuisine, the cordiality and hospitality of the highlanders.
