About the tour

Jeep tours around the Caucasus is not only a fascinating journey, it is an excursion into the world of magnificent nature, gorgeous landscapes, mountain routes, into the world of secrets and legends of local peoples.

We invite you to a unique journey to the Inal Plateau. We will go through the Baksan gorge to the lake Gizhgit, we will see the Naudzhidze peak, people call it "Tushina teeth" - a kind of rock that rises 700-800 meters above the area, the Almalykaya massif. We will visit the Khakuafa tract and reach the Inal plateau! It is from here that one of the brightest and most memorable views of Elbrus opens!

Tour Program:

Transfer by SUV to the Baksan Gorge.

The Baksan gorge is known to all fans of mountain excursions and climbers. It is from here that the ascent to Elbrus begins. It is here that you can admire the mountain beauties, breathe in the cleanest air and recharge yourself with the energy of this place. There is a legend about the origin of the gorge. Once a local Saint met the Devil and touched him, he in a rage began to chaotically beat his tail, dividing the earth into gorges, including the Baksan one. This is one of the most visited places in the Caucasus. Hundreds of thousands of tourists come to see this amazing corner of nature every year.

Lake Gizhgit - attracts tourists with the incredible color of the water - sky blue. It seems that the sky has dissolved in it. The lake fascinates tourists at any time of the year: in spring the landscape around it blooms and smells fragrant, in summer eagles soar above it, in autumn the surroundings change into a great crimson outfit, and in winter the lake freezes and turns into a real mountain skating rink.

Transfer through the Khakuafa tract to the Inal plateau.

Inal Plateau - through mountain serpentines incredible emotions from the trip, we climb the Inalsyrt Plateau. Breathtaking views, majestic rocks, clouds clinging to the peaks, all this is impressive and mesmerizing. It seems that time has stood still here. Ringing silence, complete freedom of thought and peace.

Mother-in-law Teeth - rocks of an unusual shape, several rocks standing close to each other. Many tourist routes are laid through this area, as the picturesque landscapes around cannot leave any tourist indifferent.

A trip with us on an SUV to the amazing places of the North Caucasus will give you a lot of positive emotions and impressive photos.
