Photo tour

Description

Type: Multi-day activity
* For several years in a row, we have been doing photo tours only on classic locations and routes with a base point in Guniba. But in January 2024, after the main tour, we traveled with local partners through Southern Dagestan to see new places, locations and routes. And we liked it there. There is already some infrastructure here, and this is enough to offer you a new photo tour in new places. There is absolutely no overlap with the classic version from Gunib. And most importantly, there are still no such crowds of tourists here. Although it is clear that this is temporary. But we have to keep up. And everything else here is also sincere, beautiful and delicious. Important! Some locations along our routes will take place in the border areas with Azerbaijan. Passes are required here. Therefore, it is necessary to make a decision at least a month before the start in order to have time to register them for Public Services. All movements along the route by car. All overnight stays in a comfortable guest house or hotel. We will get to all the main locations by car! But there will also be light walking radiators, accessible to almost all participants, without serious health restrictions.
