«Treasures of the land of mountains»
Imagine walking through the ancient streets of the village, where every stone is a whole story, and every house is a real museum. And you meet dawn in a picturesque meadow, you see how the first rays of the sun paint the giant mountains in golden pink colors. On the same day, on the seashore, savor young wine and taste Dagestan cuisine: kebabs from a young goat, dolma from juicy lamb, delicious and varied khinkal.
Such emotions will not give you either Italy, France, or any other country. You will receive them on a trip to ancient and hospitable Dagestan from Caspian Travel Company.
