* The Honey Waterfalls tour is a natural history tour, an introduction to the geological past and present of the Caucasian Mineral Waters resort region. From the laccolith mountains of Pyatigorsk to the Paleozoic granites in the canyon, where waterfalls roar, it's like turning over the stone pages of the life history of planet Earth. You will learn how gorges are formed, as well as what kind of waterfalls there are. Honey Waterfalls is a group of five waterfalls in the gorge of the Alikonovka River near Kislovodsk. They all have different names, different shapes, saturation and height. The largest of them reaches a height of 18 m. Overlooking the waterfalls, you can taste freshly baked fragrant Karachai khichins and ayran, a drink of longevity. And what unites mountain ayran and kefir, what is so useful for ayran, the guide of the Light travel agency will tell you.
According to the program of the Light travel agency, you will see another natural monument of regional significance – the famous landmark in the area of Kislovodsk – Mount Koltso. Using the example of Mount Koltso, you will learn what wind and water erosion are, and what role it plays in shaping the terrain. The legend of the sled says that Mount Koltso grants wishes.
Near the Ring Mountain, you can stroll through the souvenir market with a large assortment.
During the tour of the Light travel agency, you will visit the Tea House courtyard, where you will enjoy a tasting of tea from mountain herbs. Karachai herbalists will tell you in detail about each harvest and tell you how to brew it correctly. Once inside the pavilion, you will taste different types of jam for free. Honey from local beekeepers is also especially appreciated, because the hives are scattered here, in ecologically clean areas of Karachay-Cherkessia, on the slopes of subalpine meadows. Being in the house, you will feel a bouquet of aromas emanating from spices, which make any dish tastier and more original, which is why they are so loved in the Caucasus. All this and much more will surely please you personally and will be a great souvenir.
