Christmas multiactive on Elbrus. 3 gorges of Kabardino-Balkaria

We will visit the most colorful places of the CBD in a short time: walking tours, trekking in nature and jeeping to the most inaccessible corners of the republic await us. 

The tour opens with an introduction to the heart of the region — the city of Nalchik, where we explore its streets, history and culture. Most of the tour is devoted to exploring the amazing nature of the CBD, as well as the amazing peoples living high in the mountains. The techniques of national cuisine will help you get into the spirit of the highlanders' life. After crossing the famous gorge, we will see the Chegem waterfalls and the mysterious Blue Lake.
