Chechnya is an interesting choice for a short, but intense vacation. Spend a couple of days in and around Grozny to see the majestic mosques and then head into the mountains early in the morning, especially if you haven’t seen this part of the Caucasus before.

Gorge after gorge, valley after valley… Here, you have already made a pause on a picturesque hill. If you look to the left, a herd of horses is out to pasture. To the right, look - a stone army, which, according to legend, went to kidnap the beauty, but froze on the slope from the spell of this girl. Lift your head to the top - an ancient stone tower rests in the sky. And below - an icy waterfall, in which you just want to bathe… That’s a lot of adventure for one day!

How to go to the mountains by jeep?

🚙 An off road jeep tour in Chechen mountains is an obligatory part of touring in the North Caucasus. Even if you’ve seen breathtaking Dagestan or Ingush landscapes before, believe me, there are no less mesmerizing places in Chechnya! In short, free up your smartphone memory as soon as possible! 

🌄 The car tour starts early in the morning. Fearless drivers and part-time connoisseurs of the most beautiful mountain corners will pick you up right from your hotel and return you there in the late afternoon. Be sure to bring plenty of water and food. A windbreaker or lightweight down vest will also come in handy. It can get cold in the mountains after sundown.

🤩 Usually, four persons can be comfortably accommodated in jeeps specially prepared for mountain travel. The cost of the trip is about 10,000 rubles (approx. $160) per car. If one day does not seem enough, then feel free to book another tour, but already on another route!
