Verkhovynsky Dividing ridge - high-mountainous Poloninsky massif (peak of Pikuy, 1408 m) on the border of Transcarpathian and Lviv regions. This name is not for nothing. At its base are the sources of the largest rivers of the Carpathians and Europe – The Dniester, Xiang, Oh, Latoritsa. The route along the ridge is soft enough - practically without significant differences in heights, suitable for beginners. &Nbsp;

feedback about the campaign, "Pass the Ai-Petri" 28 30.04.2012g.Hike for May holidays a very popular and attractive to tourists, especially beginners. Because you can plan in advance, purchase tickets (which are very difficult to buy already in anticipation of the holidays), will not be lost labor days, also because the data is output from all of your household, relatives, friends, etc. that if you want you can persuade, inviting them to the campaign. Although the organization of a campaign by OutdoorUkraine.com (operator) to bother much about it is not necessary, because You can take a hike, regardless of the circumstances that may arise from those who expressed a desire to go hiking.
As a novice travelers, we naturally chose the 3-day trek, taking into account also the fact that the campaign is the whole family.
Children's hike to Demerdzhi (Crimea)
Written by Кирилл Ясько
Crimea, 3 days, 25 miles. 600 hryvnia (2400 rubles). Difficulty: Low.This version of the route of Demerdzhi (the most beautiful mountain in Crimea) for "children" groups, ie consisting of parents with children. In such hike can take children from 5 years. The route is simple, but still it is the mountains, so the child will need constant supervision. And in some areas will have to lead him by the arm. Therefore it is desirable (but not necessarily) that the child would be accompanied by both parents - father drags a heavy backpack (tent, food, sleeping bags, clothing, etc.), and my mother has a child. Usually, the group recruited 3-4 families - children and adults more fun to go to the company. Children aged 5 to 8 years 50% discount, from 8 to 15 - 30%. But really, children older than 13 years can safely take into the adult version of a hike around the Demerdzhi.

The trekking around Annapurna is a slightly more complicated route than the tour to the Annapurna base camp. There is more mileage, a colder climate, it will be necessary to overcome much greater heights (less oxygen), and going up to the pass (the culmination of the route) will not be able to turn back, retreat without risking being late for the plane.
In general, there will be many difficulties. But if you are not afraid of difficulties, the Himalayas will generously reward you with their treasures - the immensely huge mountains (the three Annapurnas, Gangapurna, Manaslu and Dhaulagairi), rumbling mountain rivers (Martiansand and Kali Ghandaki), Buddhist monasteries, lost in the mountains, and herds of these yaks will be carried before you like an incredible dream, like a piece of another world. The highlight of the route is a visit to Lake Tilicho (height about 5000 m). The maximum height, which we will rise - 5416 meters.

What do you expect from the rest?
Written by Анна Падутова, Беларусь
Comment on Himalayan expedition "To the heart of Annapurna" in November 2011.What do you expect from the rest? From a long-awaited vacation? Personally I'm waiting for impressions, and as much as possible! Before the trip I will never learn the country where the fly, preferring to learn everything already in place. And then, finally, flew to Nepal ...! We could not imagine how there would be, and where we fall. And indeed, this we did not expect was a lot of impressions, as we were in another world ....
Spring in the Himalayas
Written by Кирилл Ясько
starts on April 1 march "To the heart of Annapurna" (Nepal). At this time in the Himalayas are blooming rhododendron forests. It is an indescribable sight. Jungle entirely covered with bright red flowers, singing birds and murmuring streams. And all this in order to convince you to come and to see the spring in the Himalayas :)
The second argument for a trip to the Annapurna was in April - this time sparsely populated compared to the fall or May holidays.
Escaped ...
Written by Николай Ильин, Москва
impressions of the campaign "The ice and rocks" in January 2012The closer the Christmas holidays, the more conflicting emotions they evoked. Yes, an opportunity to break the usual business and leisure weekly rate and the prospect of ten doing nothing and calling beckoned, but at the same time firmly guard. The prospect of the "guests - a visit" is very attractive for ordinary weekend, did not seem as exciting for the whole decade and was seen as a vicious circle from which there is no escape, and snowless winters Moscow only exacerbate the situation.
The search for alternatives in mid-December were similar to brainstorming, but did not last long. The experience of leisure and work skills on the Internet have made the point, and that choice is made - the Crimea, Outdoor Ukraine, «ice and rocks", 3-8 January.
