The mountainous Dagestan is amazing and unbelievable. The mountains here are sharp, heaving, they stick up into the sky like plates on the backs of dinosaurs: aggressive in appearance, but so photogenic, especially when their peaks are wrapped in soft clouds. And the villages lost between them are cozy and do not disturb the overall landscape.
In three days you will visit a huge number of incredible places, which will not leave anyone indifferent.
Itinerary features:

• The route is very scenic, there will be many viewpoints;
• In fall, winter and early spring it gets dark early (about 5:00 pm), it may make sense to leave early to take your time and have time for everything;
• This route involves several cross-country walks, allow more time for them if you have children or elderly companions with you.

Recommendations:

• It's not always easy to find a cafe for lunch along the way, so it's wise to take a snack with you during the day.

- Make sure your gas tank is not empty. Not all gas stations have gasoline, and not always the right kind, and there are very few in the mountains.

• Weather in the mountains varies unpredictably, it is always better to have a raincoat, sunscreen and comfortable shoes, which is not very sorry to get dirty.
• Communication in the mountains does not work, download the off-line map to your smartphone in advance, so it is always easy to navigate.
