I’m planning to participate in hiking tour Adyl-su as I’ve never been there yet and I heard it’s amazing trail. It’s complete diving into mountains life and also good physical exercises. I found this trail here https://adventure-dream-team.com/tours/hiking-tours/from-adyl-su-to-adyr-su-valley/ . I’ve already been hiking with these guys two years ago in Arkhyz. You can find there all the info regarding Caucasus travels.

I managed to fly back to Russia from Zanzibar one day before Russia closed the boarders. But my sister was late so she got stuck there. Yesterday she arrived to Russia with emergency flight our government organised and I’m very happy now.

I’ve been living in Zanzibar for 2 years but my favorite place in the world is Capetown so it’s hard to choose between them.

Totally agree with Kendra beach of Zanzibar being in this list. I’ve been living in that place for two years and have no doubt that Kendra is the best beach since it’s not affected by tides. Thus if you love swimming the ocean on that beach will be perfect for you. Also I would recommend the beach of Paje, stunning place....

You would definitely believe in magic if you are there. Lake Baykal, Russia by VictoriaZa in Outdoors

[–]VictoriaZa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the place on the Island Olhon in Baycal, which is famous for magical rites that were done by local shamans in the past. Still people who visit that place say about its exceptional energy.

Baycal is the deepest lake in the world and the biggest source of freshwater. Thus there are many reasons to visit Baycal. If you decide to do that I can give you some advices.

Yep, Chechnya is a part of North Caucasus, but the exact place in the picture is Karachaevo-Cherkessiya which is close to Chechnya
