Multiactive on Elbrus. Three gorges of Kabardino-Balkaria in autumn

As part of the tour, you will not only be able to visit the most colorful places of the CBD in a short time, but also enjoy various types of tourism: walking tours, trekking in nature, and jipping to the most inaccessible corners of the republic, which not every traveler can visit. 

The tour opens with an introduction to the heart of the region — the city of Nalchik, where you will explore its streets, history and culture. Tasting dishes of national cuisine will help you get into the spirit of mountain life. After crossing the famous gorge, the participants will see the Chegem waterfalls, after which they will be jipped through the Aktopark pass, behind which are located the crypts of the ancient Balkarian village of Eltuby (XIII-XVIII centuries). And what is the view of the Blue Lake, which will end one of the routes!
