Encounters with the wonders of the Caucasus

Breakfast (lunch box, except the Yuzhnaya hotel).

From 06:00-06:30 gathering at the hotels for an excursion to the wonderful mountainous region, praised by Vladimir Vysotsky and won the hearts of millions of people — in the Elbrus region.

The Elbrus region is a land where the majestic Elbrus reigns over the whole world, like a giant frozen in eternity.

Its snow-capped peaks pierce the azure sky, and the sun's rays dance on the icy slopes, creating a play of light and shadow. Coniferous forests, shrouded in morning mist, whisper ancient legends, and mountain rivers carry their crystal-clear waters through picturesque valleys.

The road running along the Baksan Gorge meanders like a ribbon, sometimes climbing steep slopes, then descending to the rushing waters of the Baksan River.

The air here is filled with the scent of pine trees and the freshness of mountain winds, and every turn opens up new, breathtaking landscapes.

When you reach the Azau clearing, you will be greeted by the silent might of Elbrus, its double-humped peak shining in the rays of the sun, as if inviting you to climb.

The cable car, like a thread connecting the earth and the sky, smoothly lifts you higher, revealing panoramas that seem to be the creation of a brilliant artist.

With each turn of ascent, the world around is transformed: dense forests remain below, giving way to alpine meadows, and then eternal snow.

At an altitude of 3,850 meters, you find yourself in the realm of silence and eternal winter, where even breathing becomes part of this splendor. But the journey does not end there — the Cheget glade awaits you, where chairlifts will carefully take you to an altitude of 3,100 meters.

From here, Elbrus and Mount Donguz-Orun are clearly visible, their peaks seem to float in the clouds.

Lunch at Cheget glade or Azau glade (included in the price of the tour)

The tour program also includes a visit to the Narzan meadow, where you will taste the real narzan.

Departure to Vladikavkaz from 06:00-06:30.

The road to Vladikavkaz becomes a meditative passage through mountain valleys, where the landscapes outside the window change like the pages of an illustrated chronicle.

The capital of North Ossetia welcomes the quiet whisper of century-old lime trees on its ancient streets, where each mansion preserves the silent history of merchant glory and architectural pursuits.

A walk along the cobblestones is a journey through temporary layers, where the air smells of old wood, history and fresh pastries from a nearby coffee shop.

The Memorial of Military Glory appears as a natural extension of the urban landscape, a place where silence acquires a special density and significance, and granite slabs store not names, but whole destinies.

Lunch (included in the price of the tour).

And after lunch, a complete change of scenery! This day will be a journey to the roots, a dialogue with a civilization carved in stone.

After leaving the city, the road will gradually begin to wind into the heart of mountainous Ingushetia.

The Targim basin opens before your eyes — an ancient valley sacred to the Ingush people, surrounded by majestic ridges, as if guarding its peace.

This is a place of power, where the earth breathes legends about sleds and ancient heroes.

Here, time stood still, allowing you to hear the echo of the footsteps of long-gone generations.

Next, we will meet stone giants — the Targim and Egikal tower complexes.

These are not just ruins, but the ingenious creations of medieval architects who embedded entire villages in the rocks.

You will touch the rough walls of battle towers that soared into the sky to protect the family, and look into the openings of residential buildings where life was in full swing.

The temple of Thaba-Yerdy will complete the immersion into the depths of time. A twenty-minute walk along the path leads to it, which in itself clears thoughts.

The temple, one of the oldest in Russia, stands modestly in a valley, representing an amazing fusion of Christian and pagan symbols.

Excursion to Grozny, we go to see the symbols of the new Caucasus. Get the cameras ready: the view from the height of Grozny City will overwhelm you!

You will learn the history of Chechnya's rebirth at the Akhmad Kadyrov Modern Museum and see some of the most magnificent mosques in the world — the "Heart of Chechnya", "Mother's Heart" and "Pride of Muslims". Each of them is a unique architectural masterpiece.

This day will give you an incredible contrast: from the classic look of old Vladikavkaz to the futuristic glow of the new Grozny.

This day will end in Pyatigorsk in a modern hotel, but a kaleidoscope of images will be spinning in my head for a long time: from the cobblestones of old streets, ancient towers to the reflection of minarets in the glass of skyscrapers, creating a holistic but strikingly contrasting picture of the region.

09:00 Departure to the Chegem gorge.

Here you will witness a unique natural phenomenon — "crying waterfalls".

Hundreds of thin streams, like living silver, seep right out of the monolithic rock, creating a magical curtain ringing with coolness.

The sound of the river rushing down below and the soft rustle of these streams add up to an ancient symphony.

And after diving into this pristine beauty, you will be greeted by its warm and delicious reflection.

A mini-bazaar of local delicacies will open at the exit of the gorge.

Here you can try and take with you the most authentic hospitality: freshly baked, steaming khichins, fragrant collections of mountain tea based on medicinal herbs, natural urbech for energy and traditional oriental sweets.

This day will be the perfect balance between the harsh power of nature and the generous warmth of the Caucasian table.

16:00 Return to the hotel in Pyatigorsk.

From 06:00-06:30 hotel pick-up.

A day in Dombay is not about a tick in the list of attractions.

It's about understanding why all the ski legends and trekking routes converge here.

The secret lies in the unique geography: the valley, enclosed like an amphitheater, creates its own, perfectly protected microclimate.

It's not just beautiful here, it's functional for nature and for those who explore it.

Dombay-Ulgen Mountain is not just the highest point, but the main architect of this area, which determines the weather and wind currents.

A cable car ride (for an additional fee) is not an attraction, but the fastest way to experience all the climatic floors of the Caucasus: from dense beech forests to thin air, where only lichens and eternal snow remain.

And lunch in the clearing is a tradition that was born out of necessity: travelers, climbers and scientists have always stopped here to catch their breath and exchange maps.

This is a place of power where the landscape dictates its own rules, and understanding this turns a standard trip into a conscious journey.

Lunch (included in the price of the tour).

We will go to the natural wonder of Mount Koltso, a rock with a through hole described by Lermontov.

On the way we will stop at a cozy Tea house.

And the final, most striking chord will be Honey Waterfalls, where you can descend into the canyon and feel the power of five streams of water cascading from granite ledges.

Lunch (extra charge).

The second part of the day is dedicated to the resort of Kislovodsk.

Acquaintance with the city begins with its spiritual heart — St. Nicholas Cathedral, a snow-white temple, domes shining in the sun. Nearby, contrasting with it, are the ancient walls of the Kislovodsk fortress, a silent witness to the founding of the resort.

From here begins the journey to the famous Kislovodsk Park, one of the largest in Europe.

The paths lead through picturesque corners: the elegant bridge "Lady's Caprice" over the Olkhovka River, to a perfectly smooth Mirrored pond reflecting the sky and trees.

Next, the route passes by the cool Glass Stream grotto, where water flows over smooth stone, and the monument to Alexander Pushkin, which reminds of the inspiring power of these places.

You can not pass by the bright Floral calendar and the majestic entrance to the park — the arched Colonnade.

The culmination of the walk is a visit to the Main Narzan Gallery, where you can taste healing water from various sources.

Next, the path leads along an elegant Resort Boulevard to an impressive building of ancient Narzan baths.

18:00 Return to Pyatigorsk.
