In addition to the mountains, you can admire the picturesque gorges and canyons, mountain rivers and green valleys, mixed herb alpine meadows, hazels, berries and rich wildlife - all this will give a lot of vivid impressions to all tourists without exception.
Tour program
We will make our first stop near the village of Karasu. A few kilometers from the village of Karasu, right by the road, a crystal-clear waterfall flows down. Although it is quite small, it is very picturesque. Water flows not over bare rocks, but over multi-colored moss. Passing through the rocks, the water becomes very tasty. It is absolutely clean, you can drink it and take it with you on a trip.
We will visit one of the highest mountainous ancient villages - Khulam. It has been severely destroyed by time, but the foundations of the walls and the strongest energy have been preserved! This is a trip to the last century. We will see a dilapidated medieval tower, the ruins of a mosque, and parts of the preserved buildings. Here you can contemplate the incredible beauty of the Bezengi wall and just listen to the silence. Admire the mountain eagles soaring in the open sky. We will make a stop near a kind of rock ledge, which is called the locals "Troll's Tongue".
Alpine camp "Bezengi" is located at the intersection of the Bezengi and Mizhirgi gorges. This is a specially equipped sports base for the training of climbers. Thousands of people come here to train and just relax in a picturesque resort in the mountains. A variety of hiking and trekking routes are organized for tourists.
The camp is located high in the mountains, not far from the base you can walk to the waterfalls, go to the glade Misses Kosh, climb to the Kundyum-Mijirgi glacier and admire the scenery, try the rejuvenating water from a natural spring. Every tourist can find an adventure to their liking here.
