The Caucasian Gambit. North Caucasus Sightseeing Tour

We offer you to plunge into the charm of the North Caucasus and enjoy the taste of national cuisine.

We will embark on an exciting journey to the pearls of Kabardino-Balkaria — the Chegem gorge and the Blue Lakes, the most beautiful gorges of Ossetia — Digorsky, Mamisonsky and Tseysky, as well as enjoy the performance of folk vocal, instrumental and dance groups.

We will visit the renovated capital of Chechnya, Grozny, and solve the riddles of the Dzheyrakh Gorge in Ingushetia. The center of Vladikavkaz also deserves our attention. Ancient buildings, merchant houses and architecture from different eras create a unique atmosphere of the city.

It's important to know

Personal equipment you need for the tour

You need comfortable shoes to walk around the city. For trips to the mountains, you can wear sneakers or other comfortable shoes. In the off-season it is cool in the mountains, the wind blows, so a jacket and a hat are mandatory. In summer, you can do with a light blouse, cap and glasses. For thermal springs — bathing accessories.

In this tour, all hotels are urban, so you can dress up at your discretion for evening walks around the city.

    My husband and I took this trip and were absolutely delighted. The itinerary may look quite full, but it was carried out in a very comfortable and relaxed way. Majestic landscapes, delicious food, and wonderful company! What more could you ask for in a getaway?! Our guide, Damar, brought such positive energy to the experience. He shared so many fascinating stories and truly made us fall in love with Dagestan :) Our driver, Hasim, was a true professional, we felt completely safe with him, even on mountain roads and rough terrain :) Many thanks to the providers and the entire team for such a fantastic experience!

    Everything was very well organized. The transport for the excursions always arrived on time. The hotel was also great (we stayed in a "Planet Suite"), and it was cleaned every day. The staff were polite and attentive. I liked everything and would love to come back again. Many thanks to Big Country, we’ll definitely be checking out your other tours in the future.
