Going on this trip was a very enjoyable experience! The Caucasus is very beautiful part of Russia, and not once have I felt unsafe (expect for the one time we drove in the dark without rear lights….) You can take out this part if you want to ;). We have seen a lot of memorable things, but the most beautiful of all were the deserted city, driving on the beaches of the Caspian Sea, Baslan and the telescope, which seemed a bit alien. Alexander is an excellent guide, and a good conversationalist (and luckily, he is also very good at fixing tires ;) ). What made this trip special was the variety in landscapes, which gave you a good idea of the Russian country. When I was little, I would have never thought I would sleep in a sanatorium at such a young age ;). I came back with a lot of memories which I will always remember, and that's why I would wholeheartedly recommend this trip!

In September we made a fantastic offroad motor trip to the Caucasus in Russia. We had an international group, with Danish, Belgium, German and Dutch people in it. The guide was Russian of course, as well as his mechanic. Both Russian guys were well prepared and prepared us a nice and magnificent route right through the Russian Caucasus and nine of its Republics of Russia. We slept at the locals in local homestays and ate local food. We saw the villages and cities, met local people and saw incredible nature and the mountain Elbrus. We drove on a nice Honda XR 250, well prepared and after the first week every evening serviced. We had a day off in Grozny and that was nice as a break of two weeks driving. We saw the local markets there, could buy some nice t-shirts and in Derbent we could buy a local Kazak hat. We also visited the silver city Kubachi and the very impressive Beslan. It was a trip to never forget! Thank you Alexander and Egor.
