The Republic of Ingushetia is rich in objects of ancient civilization, medieval spirit and enchanting nature.
Each tower complex, and there are several dozen of them in the valleys of the republic, has a rich past. They take their history from the 12th-17th centuries to the present day, without restoration, and are very well preserved. Of course, not all of them, but even the ruins of some are shocking in scale. Within the walls of each such complex, without exception, there are legends that are known on the ground. There are sanctuaries, mausoleums, and crypts preserved. Separate elements from older epochs and more.
Nature deserves special attention. Alpine meadows, mountains, waterfalls and mountain rivers are truly a resort area with the cleanest air.
We recommend using a prepared off-road vehicle on the route.

On the way along the winding serpentine we will spend about 1.5 hours before the first stop, we will have time to get used to this region and enjoy the views. Closer to the pass we will go to dozens of valleys and hills. We will see the remains of the medieval villages of Lyalakh and Salgi with preserved towers, as well as the unique watchtower of Magoy Jel. Approaching the Assin gorge, we will see the largest and excellently preserved tower town Egical. On the way, we will look at a small plateau, which opens the opposite bank of the Assa River and the Targim tower complex. Returning from the tower village of Vovnushki, we will take a look at another highlight of the region - the Christian temple of Thaba-Yerda of the 9th century.
