About this experience
The journey to Jily-Su is one of the most beautiful routes in the Caucasian Mineral Waters region, where we will travel in off-road vehicles in a group of up to 18 people. You will find yourself at breathtaking viewpoints overlooking Elbrus and the Caucasus mountain range, immerse yourself in healing mineral baths, and see three mountain waterfalls. In the gorge itself, you will not only enjoy nature but also be able to feed wild susliks.
What to expect
View from the Shadjatmaz plateau. Along the way, we will stop at the best viewing points where you will have enough time to admire and take photos. One of them is in the Shadjatmaz gorge at an altitude of about 2150 meters. From here, you will have a great view of the observatory, Kanjol plateau, the Caucasus mountain range, and Elbrus.
"Avatar" rocks - another natural wonder on our route. You will admire the whimsical rocks and the river flowing nearby, and also have the opportunity to have a coffee and snack at a local cafe.
Elbrus panorama. Just imagine: a road stretching into the distance, and the legendary five-thousander right in front of you. This viewpoint offers magnificent photos and videos!
Jily-Su: waterfalls, mineral springs, and mountains. In the famous gorge, you will visit three waterfalls, including the powerful Emir and the 67-meter Karakaya-Su. But most importantly, Jily-Su is famous for its mineral springs, where you can even take warm baths under the open sky. And there is also a "settlement" of susliks here: if you wish, we will feed these cute rodents.
Mineral water valley. On the way back, we will stop and take a walk in the valley, where you can drink water from 20 different springs - each with its own water composition and healing properties.
