Hiking to the Caucasus. Hiking in the Caucasus Mountains
The Caucasus is an amazing place. The legendary peaks Elbrus and Kazbek crown the local ranges, united into mountain systems - this is where the Greater and Lesser Caucasus begin. Looking at the snow-covered rocky slopes supporting the sky, you feel all the power wildlife. The Caucasus is quite harsh mountains, in winter time On the passes here, five meters of snow falls, and in the summer the heat reaches thirty degrees. Numerous hiking routes in the Caucasus are very diverse and at the same time not simple. Mountains and passes attract both experienced tourists and those who are just beginning to explore amazing world tourism. Alpine meadows here alternate with stormy mountain rivers, carrying their foamy streams into real foothill jungles. Stunning colors and amazing silence are the hallmark of these places, and here, in the Caucasus, you can truly enjoy both to the fullest.
There are several features of hiking in the Caucasus. Firstly, it’s worth talking about the weather. The rains here in summer are rarely prolonged, but they come often, and sometimes it happens every day. A windbreaker is a must when hiking, and a raincoat too. If the sun is shining, it's shining so good, especially at altitude, so don't forget to take sunscreen with you so as not to get too sunburned. Good weather that lasts for a week in a row is rare in the Caucasus, but it does happen. Besides, there are no problems with water in the Caucasus; there are many springs and rivers that we will cross from time to time.
Secondly, I will mention a slight feeling of hunger. We usually carry all the food with us, since on most routes there is no place to buy it, and since you can’t take on much, otherwise you simply won’t go, we have to take into account the amount of food per day compared to the same Crimea. A vicious circle - the pressures in the Caucasus are heavy, you will want to eat a lot, but you won’t be able to take much with you, in general, you will have the opportunity to lose another kilogram.
Hiking In the Caucasus, our routes usually last 9 and 12 days. And here you need to be strong in spirit and realize that you will have to go to the end. Because there is simply nowhere to get off here on the route. There are only mountains around. To leave the route, the whole group will have to leave and go to the nearest village, and this is often a couple of days of travel in order to leave there those who want to end the journey prematurely. But I will add that we have a couple of not very difficult routes, especially for beginners - along Tkhachi in Adygea and along the Kodori Gorge in Abkhazia.
Let me remind you that we have routes that go along the border and nature reserves. This imposes its own characteristics on hikes, nature reserves as nature reserves, but you need to obtain permits for some routes in advance from the border guards; for Russians, the pass is issued a month in advance; for citizens of other countries, two months before the hike, we issue the pass; all we require from you is your data. Well, that’s all, have a good hike!
We bring to your attention reviews and impressions of participants in the May 2016 campaign in the Caucasus.
Alexey, Moscow
This is my first trip to the mountains, it’s hard to describe in words the emotions that you experienced throughout the entire trip, it would seem only 4 days... 4 days that partially change you from the inside. Much has been written and said like this, but in reality you really reconsider yourself and come back a little different person and believe me, this person has only become better!
On the very first day we started rafting down the river, boarding a catamaran and moving towards the water elements, I absolutely did not know and had no idea what awaited me ahead, this was my first experience and despite the fact that I was in shorts and in a light jacket, the cold of the water was absolutely not felt, the adrenaline was warming with all my might, I concentrated only on rowing, tried to follow all the instructor’s commands, there is always a chance of capsizing, this only added fire to the water, how well you will pass depends on each person in the crew this or that threshold, it greatly unites people!
Conquering the mountains is another test, there is a great atmosphere on the climb, everyone helps and encourages each other, if someone is a little behind, they definitely wait before moving on. Since it was rapidly getting dark, it was decided to set up camp on the foothills of Oshten and there, personally, I still have one interesting moment in my memory. I have always been quite scrupulous in terms of food, there are a lot of foods that I absolutely do not eat, for example lard, but when you tramp up the mountain with an incredibly heavy backpack on your back, a sandwich with a centimeter piece of lard becomes for you the best food in the world, very interesting and pleasant feeling).
It makes no sense to describe the ascent to Oshten itself, and to be honest, I don’t want to, these emotions simply cannot be conveyed, you’ll feel them when you go), it sounds banal, but it’s true.
Upon reaching the top of the mountain, those who reached it earlier than the rest brightly greeted the people who were just climbing. And here is the finale, that same joint photo of the Vandals that is taken on every trip. The main goal has been accomplished, it’s time to return to camp, pack your things and leave for the world of offices and routine work.
If you have a desire to travel, conquer heights and mountain rivers, DON'T WAIT! Don’t wait for friends, or for some special moment, I myself waited and could have waited for a very long time until I made the decision to go on a hike at all costs on these May days. Just throw away all unnecessary thoughts, start packing your backpack and hit the road, or look further beautiful pictures vkontakte, those who have already decided long ago. Again, these seem like banal pretentious words, but think about what your free weekends and vacations are spent on. Perhaps you are spending it on the wrong things?
In conclusion, I will say that I was going to spend money and go to music Festival this summer, so I’ll probably postpone this event...
Such trips are addictive and personally I’m already hooked.
I'm waiting for the announcement of the Vandals' new campaign!
Alexander, Vologda
Thanks to the Vandals project, I realized my old dream - I visited the mountains, rafted down a mountain river and climbed to the top. During the trip I met interesting people, experienced a lot of positive emotions, gained invaluable experience. The only negative is the Everyday life I miss the extreme experience experienced on the hike! Getting ready for the next...
Ekaterina Moscow
Returning from another trip with the Vandals, sorting out your things, looking through photographs, sorting the souvenirs you brought, you realize that all the most vivid impressions remain “behind the scenes.”
Not a single material thing can compare or convey the emotions and feelings that you will experience while traveling. 
From the very first day, when you just meet with the whole team and there are kilometers of road ahead of you, a whole bunch of funny stories, and discussions of a variety of topics, you understand that you made the right choice by going on a hike with the Vandals.
The trip program consisted of two parts: rafting and climbing mountain peak Oshten. And it seems that not a single word written in the future will be able to convey what happened in these four days.
No words can describe the sensations that you experience during a night rafting, when in front of you you see only the seething elements into which you are about to find yourself, you feel everything, fear, adrenaline, and pride in yourself that you coped with this by the elements. Then, as a reward, you get cozy gatherings around the fire with hot tea and chatting with friends.
And climbing the mountain was one of the most difficult tests of the hike.
The weight of the backpack on your back makes itself felt after half an hour of climbing to the base camp, but you continue to walk despite the fatigue and difficulty of the path, because ahead of you awaits all the greatness of nature, which can be observed from the top of the mountain. What shocked me most was the night sky in the mountains. You see not just stars, you see a whole world that is hidden from us in the everyday life of the city. Stars in the mountains are something that no camera can photograph, something that not a single word of admiration can convey; you need to see it with your own eyes. This is beauty to tears...
Now I understand all these quotes about travel that tell us that everything material is nothing compared to what travel can give us...
These four days of the hike are like one little story that united all the participants into one whole, and it will remain with us and with each of us forever.
Special thanks for the excellent photos

And when the forest ends, ahead, in the evening light, we will be greeted by the one who rules the wind. In the evening we set up camp at an altitude of 2700 m, near the Narzan resort called Djily-su (Karachay-Cherkessia), unfinished in the last century, with healing mineral springs or on a tour. base (depending on weather conditions).

From the Ring Pass you can clearly and beautifully view the southern spurs of Elbrus, the valley and passes of the Kukyurtlyu River.
Descent back along the right side of the left tributary of the river. Bityuktube, after passing a large scree.
At the finish line there is Narzan and a swimming pool.))
Day five. Enukol Ridge.
The most beautiful and panoramic transition, a trip to the Caucasus, in good weather. After a short descent, we are faced with a long, steep climb to the Enukol ridge.
In these places there is an old, well-trodden cattle drive, Sut-Jol (Milk Road). We will take advantage of the invitation of the trail, first asking if it is possible?)) And having heard - “Bon voyage”, we will rise to the heights of the ridge. The Milky Way is beautiful, panoramic and impressive with its views of Oshkhamakho (where the gods live - another name for the beautiful Elbrus) and the surrounding mountains.
We will set up camp right on the ridge, not far from the Enukol pass, at an altitude of about 3000 m. This will be our highest overnight stay.
Day six. Enukol Ridge – Lake Khurla-Kol
An easy and spectacular trek to the lake. The lake is located at an altitude of about two thousand meters above sea level. The age of this unique thing among the lakes of the Caucasus is 15 thousand years! Can you imagine?!
On a wide mountain terrace, bordered by pine forests and magnificent landscapes, the lake looks like a beautiful tribute to these places. Beautiful purity, crystal transparency, cold and attractive. Sit and watch for a long time. What else do you need?))

Day seven. Lake Khurla-Kol – Kart-Dzhurt – Nevinnomyssk
Early rise and departure. We have breakfast, clean our feathers and head down to our native land.)) Today is the last day of a trip to the Caucasus, a short and glorious journey!
After climbing to a small pass, a long descent awaits us to probably the most ancient village of Karachay-Cherkessia, the village of Kart-Dzhurt, an educational place for historical facts. Not far from the village, on the way home, at the confluence of the Kuban and Khudes rivers, there is a stone, the Black Stone of Karchi, sacred - it has been lying for an eternity, and passing travelers consider it their duty to stay near it, knowing that this stone has given a lot of good to the people, living here.
We will ask the driver to stop here for a moment and also be with him for a little while, paying tribute to the history and traditions of this small but glorious country.
A minibus will be waiting for us in Kart-Dzhurta, which will take us to Nevinnomyssk.
You can see photos of the trip to the Caucasus
The Caucasus Mountains have a well-deserved reputation for being harsh and difficult - it is better to go here after first conquering several lower Crimean or Carpathian peaks. But, on the other hand, our club offers hikes in the Caucasus 2016 of varying difficulty - among them there are those that are accessible to beginners without special training. Moreover, you can even go to or with children.
Parking features
Most routes around the Caucasus involve overnight stays at popular tourist sites, where there is convenient access to water and plenty of space for tents. In general, there are no problems with water in the Caucasus - during the transitions you will not have to carry a large supply of water with you, and at rest stops you will have the opportunity to wash yourself every day.
The situation with firewood is a little worse - not every parking lot will have enough of it. As a rule, hikes in the Caucasus Mountains are carried out with a gas burner; it completely solves the problem of cooking.
Separately, it is worth saying that most of the more or less difficult Caucasian routes pass away from villages and cities. This means that it will most likely be difficult to leave “for civilization” halfway through the hike - plan to complete the hike to the end. For example, in our hike to Fisht, a convenient opportunity to leave the race occurs only on the 7th day. It also follows that you will have to carry a supply of food with you - there will be no opportunity to buy anything along the route.
When is the best time to go hiking in the Caucasus?
You can go on stationary tours with an overnight stay at a hotel at any time of the year - clean air, luxurious landscapes and useful mineral springs tourists are always welcome. But for hiking in the Caucasus, the optimal season is, of course, summer. And not at the very beginning of summer, but closer to its middle - when warm weather sets in even in the mountains.
Please note that at an altitude of over 2500 m above sea level. Even in July there may still be snow. On the one hand, this provides a unique opportunity to play in the snow at the height of summer, but on the other hand, it obliges you to take care of a warm set of clothes for the hike and appropriate shoes.
The best months for this are July and August. This is a time of more or less stable weather, when the air has already warmed up well, and the autumn coolness has not yet begun. Beginners can still go to the mountains in September, albeit with the expectation of colder nights. But October, November and the winter months are only for experienced hikers who are prepared for serious difficulties and have good winter equipment. That is why our club does not plan hikes in the Caucasus later than September.
The Caucasus Mountains are one of the amazing places, which every person should definitely visit, and more than once! And not just for a couple of days, but for at least a week, to take in their grandeur and unique landscape! We were able to experience exactly this on the most popular route Thirty in August 2016.
First day. Meeting. The village of Kamennomostsky. "Long live the waterfalls!"
Our hike began with a meeting at Krasnodar 1 station. We were met by conductor Evgeniy Pavlovsky. His first reaction was to my two backpacks: “Do you have that much stuff for two of you?” - he asked. My answer surprised him very much. I answered: “Of course, for one, just food in one, and things in the other. Nothing superfluous, everything is according to the list. Everything then has to fit into one.” During the hike I realized why I had caused so much surprise on his part, and that the main reason was too many things.On three mountain minibuses, our group was in the village of Kamennomostsky in 2.5 hours Krasnodar region, and from there to Khadzhokhskaya Gorge to the Rufabgo waterfalls. From here you could enjoy the Belaya mountain river and the rising ridges of the local mountains.
Many of our group decided to swim at the waterfalls. Especially after the intense heat and the long journey on minibuses, this helped to understand that the hike had started successfully.
Day 2. Caucasian reserve Lago-Naki. Lago-Naki plateau. Instructor's Gap.
The second day was very eventful. We were brought to the checkpoint of the Lago-Naki nature reserve, from where a full-fledged hiking trip through the Caucasus Mountains began.At first everyone was amazed by the amazing view of the mountains from the observation deck. Many have already realized that they are finally in the mountains, and the hike will be bright and unforgettable.
For several hours we walked along the plateau from spring to spring, making small stops and communicating with each other. Our path ran past karst sinkholes, in which lay snow that had not yet melted from the winter. There was neither a tree nor a bush around. Small hills with white snow spots were visible on the horizon.
In the evening we arrived at our campsite, at Instructor's Gap, where we immediately set up tents, fetched water from a mountain spring and began to cook dinner on gas, since there was no firewood nearby. Many of the same tourist groups gathered here.
The evening was spent in a close circle mountain tourists, sang different songs with a guitar, talked and looked at the scattering of stars in the sky.
Day 3. Climbing Mount Oshten.
Early in the morning, after oatmeal with condensed milk, our gang set off to conquer Mount Oshten, 2804 m high. A distinctive feature of the mountain is a huge bowl covered with snow.The conquest began with a small hill, the climb of which seemed endless to me personally. Step by step, our group finally reached its top, but our journey did not end there. We now had to walk along the ridge of Oshten itself all the time upward. Here I would like to especially mention trekking poles. With their help it was much better to go up the mountain. In addition, because of my knee, the poles were a real salvation on the way back down the mountain.
What a stunning view that opened up after the tired but unbroken tourists reached the very top of the mountain! Here you truly expand your worldview, you feel all the power and at the same time the indescribable grandeur of the mountains. This is one of those moments when you want to stay, dream, determine your purpose in this world!
From the top of Oshten, in clear weather, you can see Mount Fisht, which is not much higher than Oshten, and also get a gorgeous panorama of the Caucasian mountain ranges and passes.
For some reason the way back seemed shorter to me than the ascent. Despite this, our entire group, together with our instructor, was caught for the first time by a powerful thunderstorm front with hail.
We spent the rest of the trip in the rain. By evening the sky cleared and the sun came out again.
Day 4. Forced march to Mount Fisht. Shelter Fisht. Radial to the lower glacier.
On this day, we got ready early again and went to the Fisht shelter. The path ran along a winding narrow path. On the left, the mountain ranges are like huge backs of whales in the ocean, and on the right is the mighty Oshten.
Along the way, we managed to swim for the first time in a mountain lake with fairly warm water.
Closer to lunch we came to observation deck, from which one could clearly see the shelter itself. The time to get to the shelter took a very long time, despite the fact that we got there on a positive note. Along the way, we each took a log in our hands and, loaded, approached the shelter.
How we later had to rescue things from under the tent during a heavy downpour and thunderstorm is a different story. Most importantly, try to place your tent as high as possible and on grass or rocks if possible. In the lowlands of the shelter, in case of rain, real rivers and streams form, ready to destroy everything in their path!
The radial route took about 2 hours. Together with Evgeniy, we visited the foot of Fisht, took some excellent photographs against the backdrop of the mountain and overcame a rather difficult section consisting of mighty stones and boulders. The sticks helped again!
We spent the evening in the gazebo, playing the guitar and singing songs. Someone even managed to dance Lezginka with the local population. In general, everything went great!
Day 5. Climbing the Fisht-Oshtenovsky pass, Lake Psenodakh.
This day was a real challenge for me and I think for many. The road was not particularly extreme, but due to the constant rise and the feeling that the rise was still not ending, I had to endure a lot and move on. When you have overcome this distance, you realize that you are capable of something more, even if your backpack is ready to burst from the load! Despite this, our entire group successfully reached the end of the pass. In the end, we didn’t lose anyone!
By lunchtime we approached the beautiful, very cold mountain lake Psenodakh. The brave ones decided to take a swim. We settled down next to the lake for lunch. For each lunch we had 2 sticks of sausage, 2 loaves of bread, 2 cans of corn and peas, 3 circles of cheese, canned fish, and for dessert - delicious dates and nuts. It turned out very tasty in a camp style, there were always enough calories until the evening!
Day 6. Another beautiful waterfall. Ski slope. Overnight on the rock.
We visited a 200-meter waterfall flowing from the cave of Fisht himself. The spectacle was amazing; many of our group swam under the powerful cool stream of water.
After overcoming the last climb (Evgeniy himself finally told us this), we again saw the mountain ranges from a different angle and, of course, heard the approaching thunderstorm again. In general, thunderstorms in the mountains are a very frequent phenomenon; the frequency is on average a day. We also had to test the equipment again. Many had long raincoats, which were either torn or dangling in the wind like a sail. Our guide had an exemplary raincoat - a poncho raincoat with a hump under a backpack. This raincoat is not afraid of any rain, and there was no need to worry about things at all.
Our path lay along a path marked with signs past a building under construction ski resort President of the Russian Federation, where, as they say, there are no direct roads and where everything is delivered by helicopter.
The highlight of this day was an unexpected overnight stay right on the rock! The wind was very strong, and all participants in route 30ka were forced to secure their tents to the ground with all the stakes. Our things dried very quickly after the rain. Our instructor wore sandals the entire time and felt very comfortable in them. I was wearing new Bona sneakers, which I tested dried very quickly and did not chafe my feet.
Day 7. Circassian booths. Fun descent. Overnight at Babuk-Aul.
The overnight stay was excellent. The wind died down in the morning, and bright sunshine and a delicious breakfast from Evgeniy awaited us. We passed by the Circassian booths and began to walk through the forest past huge trees. Then, after a few stops along the trail, the Fun Descent began, which was clearly not that fun for everyone. But the instructor led us further and further. Cyclists flew past, also traveling along this route, but without tents. They traveled from one shelter to another, where they spent the night. So there is also an opportunity to overcome the Thirtyadka route.The final destination was Babuk-Aul, which was an area, the main part of which was covered with a lawn - a place for placing tents. Nearby there were several houses and terraces with barbecues for cooking. The main thing is that there was also a shower with hot water. As evening approached there were more and more people.
The songs on the guitar did not stop until the night.
Day 8. The final part of the route. Descent to the sea. Stop at Uch-Dere beach.
In the morning at about seven o'clock we already started moving towards the final checkpoint of the Caucasus Nature Reserve. It was necessary to leave its territory before 9.00, since construction of the road began. Thanks to the prudent Evgeniy, we managed to do everything and settled down for breakfast on the bank of a mountain river.We had to walk another 12 km to the bus stop, but then we were suddenly offered a ride in an army truck with two GAZ 66 benches. After long discussions and voting, everyone agreed to pay extra and go with the breeze. The only downside was that we waited a long time for the car, but it was worth it in the end!
We got to Dagomys by bus, and from there by train one stop to Uch-Dere.
We set up our tents right on the beach, and in the evening we enjoyed a final dinner and a spectacular sunset!
I would like to say a special thank you to our hardy and true hiking guru Evgeniy Pavlovsky. Thanks to him, I understood what a mountain hike is, I was convinced from my own experience what you need to know and be able to do while hiking and, most importantly, that traveling is cool and unforgettable!
Several main conclusions on the 30ka route
- 1. Take a minimum of things, since you will carry all these things on you during the entire hike. The main thing is to have a good backpack in which you can fit everything, and which will not tear under the load. My Chinese backpack barely survived this trip; I had to sew the straps on several times.
- 2. Trekking poles are very helpful on a hike. Especially if you have problems with your knees, poles are very helpful. Also, in slippery areas or rocky areas, poles can be very helpful.
- 3. It is better to take shoes that are light and quick-drying. Many of us were wearing trekking boots, but if the boots got wet, they took a very long time to dry. You can take sneakers, as they dry quickly, are quite light, and your feet don’t get tired in them.
- 4. If you have a guitar, be sure to take it on a hike! Without her, the trip would be incomplete and not so bright!
- 5. It’s better to have your own tent. I had my own assault 2-seater Tramp Sarma weighing 2.5 kg. Tested successfully! Withstood 100%!
