Did you know there is a city where mountains literally meet the sea within the city limits?

We're not talking about abroad, but about Makhachkala! Let's go see the most atmospheric spots:

🛖The ghost village of Gamsutl. It's called the "Dagestani Machu Picchu," and that's not just a pretty phrase. An abandoned place on top of a mountain where time has stopped. The views from there are so stunning that you can forgive all the switchbacks on the way just for one shot. Checklist for Gamsutl: comfortable shoes, water supply, windbreaker, and cash. Signal may drop on the trail, so it's best to download maps in advance.

🌄Sulak Canyon. One of the deepest in the world. It's especially beautiful in autumn. The air is cool and comfortable for hiking, and the slopes seem to be set ablaze with the red and yellow hues of the trees. The perfect season to capture that one shot that will take everyone's breath away on their feed.

🛕Naryn-Kala Fortress in Derbent. Older than your favorite historical series and without special effects. Here you can stand on walls over 2000 years old and imagine how somewhere below, at the foot, caravans of the Great Silk Road were bustling.

If you want to change the scenery for the weekend without visas or complications — there is an option. Flying from Saratov, Nizhnevartovsk, Yekaterinburg, Krasnodar, Novy Urengoy, Volgograd, Tyumen and other cities 🛫
