About this experience
Many years ago I came to the Caucasus, fell in love with its stunning nature, and decided to stay here. Now I try to convey this admiration to all guests by showing the best places of the mountain kingdom. One of my favorite programs is a trip to Jily-Su. Here you will discover charming views from observation decks, visit dizzying gorges and beautiful waterfalls, feel the freshness of alpine meadows, and energize with the power of mineral springs!
What to expect
Idyllic views of the Caucasus and healing mineral springs
Our first stop on the way will be the Shadjatmaz plateau (2020 m above sea level), from which you will enjoy a magnificent view of the Main Caucasian Range and Elbrus. We will descend along the serpentine to the gorge of the Hasaut river, where the famous Narzan Valley is located - how can you resist tasting the famous invigorating water! Further along the mountain serpentine road to the Harbaz gorge will gift you with a new dose of mesmerizing views. Additionally, you will visit the Avatar Rocks and climb the mystical Tuzluk mountain.
Highlights of Jily-Su
In the famous area, you will visit three impressive waterfalls - Sultan, Emir, and Karakaya-su. I will also take you to the Valley of Castles with whimsical conical rocks and to the Emmanuel Meadow, where the ascent to the summit of Elbrus started in the 19th century. And at the end of the trip, you will be able to bathe in mineral springs. Magnificent landscapes, heartfelt moments, and interesting stories will make your day special.
