It's important to know

Documents

The first and most important thing is the documents! PASSPORT and birth certificate of the child (if you are traveling with children). What for? Firstly, in your travels you will cross the borders of the subjects of the Russian Federation and therefore passport control is possible. Secondly, there is a discount for children on all cable cars, but only upon presentation of a birth certificate!

Clothes

Clothes should be light, comfortable and warm. Traveling through the mountains, you will most likely have to cross several climatic zones at once, which means that the temperature difference is guaranteed. Therefore, do not be lazy to put on several things at once. Let's have a T-shirt, a warm sweater, and a down vest on you. You can always take off the top "layer", or vice versa, quickly insulate yourself as needed. And be sure to wear warm, waterproof shoes. Don't forget your swimsuit and slippers. And also take spare dry socks with you (take them with you on excursions if your feet get wet). For women, a headscarf for visiting mosques and temples

Cosmetics

Sunscreen in order to avoid sunburn is simply necessary! After all, it is much easier to get them in the mountains than on the flat part. Do not forget a hygienic lipstick, because it is often windy in the mountains and you can chafe your lips. As well as sunglasses.

Every day, the company's manager will contact the tourists: inform them of the bus number for the tour and specify the boarding time. For morning excursions, the bus number is reported after 20:00 on the eve of the trip, for lunch excursions, the bus number is reported an hour before the start.

The manager calls all tourists before arrival to clarify all the details of the tour.

There is no meeting with a representative of the tour operator during weekend tours.

The place of boarding on the tour depends on the chosen place of residence.

When purchasing an excursion tour without accommodation, boarding on the tour is carried out at the address of the ave. Kirova 23 (entrance to the Flower Garden Park), regardless of the place of residence.

BESHTAU Hotel – boarding at the Beshtau Hotel (1st Bulvarnaya str.);
Hotel "MASK" – boarding at the hotel Mask (Pyatigorsk, Inozemtsevo village, Gagarina str., 213a);
MASHUK Hotel – boarding at Tarkhany sanatorium (14 Karl Marx Street);

PYATIGORSK Hotel - boarding at Tarkhany sanatorium (Karl Marx str., 14);
YUZHNAYA Hotel - boarding at the entrance to the Flower Garden Park (23 Kirov ave.).

The tourist must:

report to the meeting place of the group at the appointed time;
have a passport or a substitute document with you on the route, and a birth certificate for children;
have sturdy shoes and travel-friendly clothing with you, including weather protection;
observe the rules of personal safety and security of personal property during the tour;
respect the customs, traditions, and religious beliefs of the local population.

The organizer reserves the right to change the order of excursions, and if it is impossible to conduct any excursion, replace it with an equivalent one, without reducing the total volume of the program.
