How to rest in Russia is more interesting than abroad

I always wanted to travel to Russia. Not in the city - everything is very similar, but in natural monuments. And in one of his vacation, I decided to go to the mountains - to the Urals, in the National Park "Taganay".

Impressions left many view respond Ridge is unforgettable - that alone pays for all the troubles that have happened to us. And there was a lot of them.

Firstly, I'm with my sedentary work and almost zero experience hikes had no idea how much will have to go with the heavy backpacks. My friend and I were not ready to such stresses, moreover, in all senses. Beginning with poorly packed backpacks with a bunch of unnecessary things in the campaign (or even a tent we were not in a case, and in the package of supermarket) to the lack of physical fitness - to load brought joy, not a thought, "Finish me already, I I will not reach. "

Plus, the first night I was poisoned (apparently, there was water from the source of conflict with my complex inner world) and, instead of singing songs with other backpackers in the shelter, midnight swallowed "Enterosgel" and trying not to fall into despair.

By morning, everything returned to normal, but we are, instead of the planned march on Kruglitsa - the highest Taganay top - back in town, and even had time to visit Turgoyak - the second after the clean lake Baikal. Very cool, but there is solid camp sites along the coast. We went on the "wild" part of the beach and sunbathing on the rocky beach.

To what I am: vacation turned cool, but it would have been twice as cooler if it were not for all these troubles. If we go with a knowledgeable man, two old women would not have sent us through the "stone river", is already wildly tired, with a bunch of things, because "you are young, jump over the rocks." Who knew that we have to really jump rather gently move from boulder to boulder, not to break his legs?

Knowledgeable person would certainly have told us how to lay down their backpacks, which should take with them, and that - leave in the storage room in the city. would have suggested as convenient to get to and Turgoyak there that can do except swim, collect pebbles on the memory and finish drinking brandy with cherry juice.

As a teenager, do not care about comfort, this word is no one cares. And the older you get, the more it wants. Adventure - it's cool, but then want to return to a warm camp, I want assurance that you will not get lost and you will not meet a bear. And here's a good solution for people like me - not to go on their own, but as part of the tour.

Adventure, comfort, or all together

I chose a few "dream place" in which long dreamed to go and find them on the site RussiaDiscovery - the organizer of tours to the most beautiful natural sites of Russia.

Here are three of the tour, which I will certainly go, as soon as the time - Karelia, Adygea and lakes... Altai Territory!

It is possible that this picture stood on your desktop as a screensaver. So, it is in Russia, and you can go there. Your breath away when you imagine how you look at this beauty from the shore.

And more good news (for me anyway) - it does not have to expose his gentle civilized, there are difficulties and dangers that can spoil the impression of the holiday. While good (ie voluntary) difficulties and dangers remain, but some without adventure?

I describe all three rounds in order.

in Karelia Tour for opponents of a relaxing holiday

Have you ever rode a quad bike? Participated in alloys or in a jeep safari? IN this round in just six days, you try everything. Impressions and photos will last for years to come. And you can delete multiple items from a list, "What should I try in my life." And now in more detail.

On the first day of the trip you are rowing boats visit two lakes - Vekkoylayarvi and Peyziyarvi. Beautiful landscapes of Karelia, for which flock here and the tourists, smooth sailing with a tour of the surrounding area, a picnic by the lake, forest, fishing, berries and mushrooms.

Having absorbed the beauty of these places and plenty of work up on the bank, you go for the night at the base, Umostu village.

No damp cold tents, field kitchens and other "charms". Busy day end holiday cottage with a bedroom, living room with fireplace, satellite TV, upholstered furniture and its kitchen where you can cook what he wants. Bathroom, of course, also in the house.

Cozy cottage can be compared with the stuffy rooms at the hotel somewhere in Thailand? Well, for an amateur, of course ...

Second day - biking. 20 kilometers of cycling, Syandemskaya deserts, founded in 1577, and the monuments of military history.

On the third day you are again waiting for a new experience - kayaking for those who do not want to risk the health and dry clothes. This alloy on calm river Gushkalka with access to the beach for a snack.

Entertainment fourth day - safari on quad bikes on forest roads and abandoned villages of Karelia. Taiga and swamps, the remains of old buildings, shadow and pine needles aroma... The atmosphere is just right.

The fifth day will please fans of off-road riding: Safari jeep in the forest and a sandy beach.

The last day of the Karelian adventure - rafting on the river Shuya for those who like a more dangerous alloys. On the way to meet the Shiver and the two thresholds, including Big Tolly.

And no one can say that you have not tried present rafting rapids, moderate danger, and lots of new experiences.

In general, if you want to evaluate the picturesque nature of Karelia, to spend your holiday really active and interesting and at the same time to live in a cozy cottage, then this tour - the most it.

The route for those who love the mountains

Another tour of a very beautiful place, this time - the mountains of Adygea. And you do not have to like rock climbing and extreme sports. For those who prefer a quiet holiday, there is horseback riding and hiking trails. But Let's start with a description of routes for climbers and anyone who is not indifferent to this.

You can start the tour with the adrenaline park on the trees. This will be an excellent preparation for future visits to the park "Canyon". It is an ancient tectonic fault with unique views: rock piles, rocks, covered with moss, waterfalls and caves - just krasotischa.

In this park all the lovers of adrenaline will be wading through natural obstacles with the help of equipment for rock climbing, and descending into the canyon, enjoy the virgin forest.

You can fly to the troll from one rock to another. I bet this is different from the adrenaline park in your town? And it will cost much cheaper than the same entertainment abroad.

For those who like to climb higher - climbing on Oshten a two-day expedition. On the territory of the Caucasus Nature Reserve, on the subalpine meadows to the shelter, where you will spend the night. And then - climbing to the top with spectacular views.

Of course, I have not been there, but in the mountains fell in love from the first time, when you look from the top to the distant mountains and buttes, it seems difficult to accommodate the entire space, which opens in front of you. It must be experienced in life. Required.

For lovers of the grottos and caves have the opportunity to explore the caves of "picket", "dry" and "beautiful" - a real natural labyrinths spectacular stalactites and other pleasures of this pastime. Another speleomarshrut - cave "spirit", "Saxophone" and "Flute" with tiered lazami, waterfalls and caves. If you'll go to admire the caves, spend the whole day there.

Also traveling to Adygeya may include more sedate activities like horse riding on panoramic points Gorge bag and Una-range goats. Spectacular views of the river and the gorge provided.

Still there four whole cycle route along the scenic, with a visit to excursion sites. Choose what you closer.

If you do not want to strain, and see the nature of the want, at your service for off-road tours. You provezut all spectacular places and show everything.

For those who admire the ancient mysteries, provided hike to the surviving dolmens Adygea - Khadzhokhsky and Guzeriplskomu. They will tell you their story, and the riddle of occurrence.

Fans of rafting can participate in rafting on the White River with disabilities 2nd - 3rd level of complexity. Rapids, beautiful waterfalls, canyons and tourist... bath near the shore.

The tour of Adygea is possible to live in different conditions:

• The tent-mountain camp. Not to be confused with tents tents! In tents wooden floor, there are beds, mattresses and bed linen. You can wash in showers, there are sinks, velodrome, climbing wall and even open-air cinema.
• The guest house in the forest zone Azishskaya ridge. Two Jaeger home artificial pond and woods.
• In another guesthouse on the four cottages. The territory has a viewing platform, a bath.

Altai lakes dream

it Multinsky lakes Altai. Why "lakes dream"? Well, my dreams. Just this is the first in the list of places where I will go as soon as possible. This is a journey for those who are not afraid of tourist life with hiking and tents for nearly two weeks.

For a start you arrive in Novosibirsk and Barnaul, and from there - to the village of Ust-Cox Chuysk, past the rocks of the Altai Mountains. That's where you get the gear, listen to instruction and get to know the members of the group.

On the third day of hiking along the river to the Lower Multa Multinsky lake, access to which is at an altitude of 1710 meters above sea level. Probably too describe this lake words. Here it is.

On the fourth day you go to the Upper Multinsky Lake, located at an altitude of 1860 meters.

The fifth day of the campaign - out on the river to the high plateau of Cold proteins with a height 2350 meters. The next day you will visit Lake Kuyguk and will break camp among huge cedars, next to the waterfall Kuyguk 25 meters high.

The first week of travel ends up steep slopes on 2909 meters, where you will see all the Katun Ridge and Mount Belukha.

Then you wait for the other passes and lakes, waterfalls and transitions across the tundra, Akcay turquoise waters of the lake, panoramic views, spending the night on a high plateau, down the river Multa and the base return.

To tour did not seem incredibly difficult, I would say that for the transport of equipment used pack horses, which is somewhat easier hike. Only when climbing uphill Kolban have to carry everything ourselves: and tents, and food. But all the extra things can be left in the camp Multinsky lake.

When you look at these pictures, I want to remember them in minute detail, and then they stay in your head forever. Cost close your eyes, and you already see them.

But when you find yourself without a conductor in such a terrain is difficult. Even if you have a card with - and on your phone, and even on the A3 sheet in case of discharged phone. In addition, you can quickly get tired, change your mind to go on and not see everything I wanted. And when you find yourself in such a beautiful place to see and remember you need as much as possible.

Everything will take care of others

In our lives, and too much stress, so that more and during the rest of something to worry about. Judging by the description RussiaDiscovery tours, worry there does not have to - everything is thought out and planned.

Here is a short list of what you not We need to be worried.

• What to bring. In any round you will find a list of needed items. Just check it and add that it is necessary for you.
• Where to live. In any round of pre-prepared place of residence, whether it is a cozy cottage, guest house, a shelter in the highlands or the big tent.
• Where to go. Instructors and guides accompany you on any hike in the tour. You do not have to print the card and covered with cold sweat on the fact that "it seems we're lost."
• Things to do. If you want a relaxing stay and sleep for 15 hours a day, please! Guides will not wake you up, and to pull out for walks and climbing. But if you come to rest actively and want to see and experience as much as possible, then get bored and think, what would occupy themselves, do not have to. The plan clearly painted by day. Perhaps this is the most intense of all the rest, that I saw, without any effort on your part.

The site wrote that managers RussiaDiscovery themselves are fans of outdoor activities. Well, judging by the content of stages, the way it is. Who could even create a program without a love of adventure? Incidentally, the tours have much more than three. And the most different: from the extreme difficult journeys (expedition to Chukotka or climbing Elbrus!) To a relaxing holiday with children.

Of course, great vacation abroad, but in Russia there are places that can not be found in any corner of the world.

If you like good service, beautiful sea and almost meditative rasslabon on a sun lounger, beach holidays abroad are waiting for you.

And if you prefer the spaciousness and freshness of mountain scenery, the beauty and diversity of wildlife, the constant activity and almost homeliness of cottages and guest houses, try tours in Russia.

If you are attracted by the latter, which Russia places you wish to visit in the near your vacation?
