Hi
I beleive many of you heard about Georgia and Armenia and hiking possibilities there.
But I'd like to say about smaller republics: South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh.

For already 5 years I'm exploring that territories and I every time I'm coming there I find something interesting. Traveling in Abkhazian or Ossetian mountains gives not only impressions of beauty and power but very interesting contacts with shepards and villagers, with there very special view on life and with there culture.

3 years ago I started the "KAVKAZ explorer" project and organize small groups for hiking in republics of Caucasus.

You are wellcome: explore-kavkaz.ru/en
