Youth autumn-winter tour to Dagestan

An active tour for the most energetic guys: thrills, safety, magnificent nature and an unforgettable adventure in the land of mountains. During the day we will conquer the beauty of Dagestan, and in the evenings we will sit around the campfire and listen to interesting legends from the guide. 

We will ride a buggy through the mountainous area and rafting on mountain rivers — we will get a powerful charge of strength and energy. Let's take a boat with the breeze and run along the dune for the sake of that one, but very beautiful photo.

    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!
