Meet Georgia
Review of the campaign in Georgia 07.15.2018
After watching the melodramas about Georgia, I was madly dreaming to go there and plunge into all this cinematic atmosphere. I cannot say that I am an experienced traveler, but I love the mountains with all my heart and, of course, I wanted to start exploring Georgia. There were many illusions about this, and how I was surprised that they all came true and even beyond that:)
Diary of a hike to Annapurna base camp
In the spring of 2018, trekking in Base camp Annapurna pleased with the interestingweather (it is interesting), a cheerful group and of course a luxuriant floweringrhododendrons. This story is about how we got to Annapurna and how she came down to us.
This was already far from my first trip to Annapurna (perhaps the tenth, not believed) and the freshness of my perception causes legitimate doubts. But every trip and each group is unique and unique, so to mewill have something to tell.
High Tatras Step ahead
Feedback about Extreme Camping in Tatra in June 2018
If you love when in the middle it boils adrenaline, if it does not sit, if you type and drop from 500 to 1000 meters per day - this is not a problem if you are ready to kick your knees at the end of the day and you will not be able to stand in the morning when you wake up. on one leg to get dressed because yesterday you went down a few hours ...
That ... Of course, friends go to the Tatras! There's really really cool! These vast expanses, this grandeur, this calm and silence, which the mountains breathe ...
Video report about the march to Lofoten
Vlog abouttrekking in the Lofoten Islands , NorwayIn July 2017 we first visited Lofoten and personally this trip will be remembered for a long time. First, the Lofoten Islands are simply beautiful, and secondly ... (oh, that's me). And in the very first we had an incredibly cool team. Just imagine - the landscapes from which the legs and your neighbor humorists are weakened, which this fact is immediately quickly turned into an anecdote. Fortunately, you have the opportunity to look into our adventure in the corner of the eye - in this campaign, I traditionally filmed a tax.

Zen and Annapurna
Impressions of the trackAround Annapurna , Nepal, May2018
Dreams come true hellip. I just know it)))
Two years ago, at the foot of Goverla, when I heard the story about the track around Annapurna, I caught fire, it seemed then not a real dream for me. The length of the vacation, the budget of the trip, the height and other horrors dried the brain hellip. but desires, a stubborn thing))
Stars above Annapurnaia
Summary of the trip Around Annapurna , Nepal, in the fall of 2018
It so happened that I write not immediately on the plane, on the way home, but after more than three months on arrival. Because I can describe what in fact it turned out for me is really the most important in this journey, what was remembered that I will sometimes remember when there will be a corresponding mood and a moment of time.
How to get to Everest?
Manager's video blog trekking to Everest Base Camp , Nepal, April 2017
This detailed video report about the track to Everest begins quite traditionally - we are flying from Kathmandu to the great and terrible Lukla. This is a tiny aerodrome on the edge of the cliff. There we repackage things, go through the first checkpoint and start the track to the Base Camp Everest. Around so far not very severe Himalayas and we have fun watching the life of "roadside" villages. Here children play, sakura blossoms, Ilon Mask builds Hyperloop, mules go to the toilet in an organized way. What could be more interesting?
Carpathian Autumn
My greetings to OutdoorUkraine!
Probably it's a time to write about our trip to Carpathians (Karpaty). My name is Kyryl Zaikin, I am from Ukraine. I was always wondering to see the real beauty of the native country and to visit the place which is called Carpathians. I've heard a lot of nice stories from my friends about the magnificent nature over there, how beautiful are the slopes, waterfalls and the mountains together with green nature and clean air with a touch of pine trees.
Far from civilization
Feedback on the hike The highest peaks 16.07.2017
I welcome the readers of the site, I want to share a response about the instructor Oleg Boyko. Were on a march in July 2017 on the Montenegrin ridge.
This was my first campaign, as with most of our group. Everyone worried a little because of the lack of experience and ignorance of marital life. Oleg helped us from the very beginning to the end of the campaign, supported the laggards. I would say that he is a stern man, seasoned with hikes at any time of the day and in the pores of the year, but very fair and decent. On the route, he constantly told me about the places we walked on, as well as advising on equipment and clothes.
Shades of the Aegean Sea
Impressions of the campaign "Cari trail ", Turkey, January 2018.
"If you are a traveler like me and in your passport, all the time tabula rasa, if you can not lose weight and eat on the regime, if you can not normalize your if you do not know how to cook porridge and Murdala (just a divine dish in the hike, believe me)))), if you like taking pictures, if you want to meet the dawn in the sky and admire the snow-capped peaks from the airplane window, if you want to swim in the sea in January and to meet a monk seal in a natural habitat, if do not have the spirit of comradeship and like-minded people,
if you are stupid from the starry sky and can not look at it if you are interested in plants, if there is not enough motivation to learn at last this "long-suffering" English, and so many others if not thinking about picking up a backpack.
Kazbek - I will definitely return!
Report on Ascent to Kazbek (Georgia) in September 2017.
On the first day of the trip, everything seemed unreal. The fact that we left, our backpacks, the car with a broken windshield and crazy views outside the window. Roads, fields, rivers, mountains ... passing through the villages I wanted to stay in each of them. The Annanuri fortress and the lake ... and the bright colors of a small tourist market, past which it is simply impossible to pass. 20 - 30 minutes and again on the road to Kazbegi. There, the first test - to push back on the backpacks (which did not seem easy at all) extra equipment.
Nepal is a country between heaven and earth
Feedback ontrekking to Everest Base Camp , Nepal, November2016 ã.
Nepal is a country between heaven and earth, a country of mighty eight thousandths pulling their peaks beyond the reach of mere mortals far to heaven, a land of eternal glaciers and unforgettable species, a country of dreamers and adventurers.
Nepal, the Himalayas ... I dreamed of going to this faraway land since my childhood, when at school I first heard about the 'roof of the world &rdquo ;. And the more I wanted, the farther they seemed to me. Such a dreamlike country “ Oz &rdquo ;: you know about it, you read about it, heard and saw in pictures, but will you get there, the question without answer ...
A couple of lines about the track to Everest
Feedback ontrekking to Everest Base Camp , Nepal, November-December2017 ã.
The adventure called "track to Everest" is over. After the finish we already had a few days of rest, walks in Kathmandu, elephant riding and canoe in Chitwan Park, it was time to think and analyze everything. And since on arrival in Kiev in a whirlwind of turmoil, I most likely can not or will forget to write a couple of lines, then I will do it now on the road from Kathmandu to Dubai. I hope they will be useful to someone.
The tracks of Chornogory
And so, it's time to write your own review of the campaign byChornohora ridge 18.06.17-23.06.17
The world is very diverse now, everywhere the Internet, mobiles, tablets, and others, you can always include YouTube and admire the beauty, see photos of beautiful places in the search engine-everything is at our fingertips. But the soul requires solitude with the living, wild, true nature. , and simple human communication, to forget about all the problems, to forget about the connection with the outside world, though not for long (for the benefit of the lack of coverage in most of the Carpathians it allows :))
How I did not climb Kazbek
Feedback on The ascent to Kazbek (Georgia) in the fall of 2017.
The idea to climb to the top of Kazbek belonged to my brother, I just backed her. Moreover, in 2011 we went to trekking to the base camp of Annapurna, where it was quite difficult, but very interesting and beautiful. That the Nepalese trekking was an "ordinary walk", as the Pope claimed, we were able to say confidently only after descending from Kazbek.
Lycian Way on foot
Feedback on the hike «Lycian trail "(Turkey) for the May holidays of 2015.
I have many hobbies - 4x4, water, moto ... everything is fine. But I decided to remember my youth and went on foot on Turkey. In the result - 140 km for 7 days and minus 4 kg.
A group of 18 people - Ukrainians, Russians, Belarusians and Azerbaijanis !!! At what before the hike I knew only two of them. We walked together and it was very friendly.
Probably, in the mountain hikes, the brains work differently, we did not have time for politics and other muck.
The way to your Everest
Feedback on trekking to Everest Base Camp , Nepal, November 2016
For a trip to Nepal, we were preparing for almost a year. What we thought while in Moscow, and what really happened, converges in only one - it's an unforgettable adventure in life. I can not believe it. The photos do not convey a single drop of that scorching attitude that we had to experience on the way from Lukla to Cala-Pathar. It is necessary to see it with your own eyes and walk with your feet. Without a hot shower, without a warm blanket, in the middle of the mountains, the stunning sky and the cold. My longest path, with every step, reveals not only unrealistic pictures of nature, but also its own possibilities. To go higher and higher, when the head is filled with lead, there is not enough breath and energy to overcome even a couple of steps, the backpack pulls you back ... To your top, to your Everest, who silently watched and thanked you for taking a closer look. Now I know how difficult this is. But this is the best adventure of my life!
And I want to tell everyone - pick up a backpack and go! In such places it is necessary to be at least once. Outdoorukraine in the person of Cyril is a reliable shoulder next to the whole route. We must go together, it's not terrible)). This is our first encounter with Outdoorukraine. I think that it would be nice to get together with the same company and go even higher! Cyril, thank you very much for the perfect organized trip! To everyone who is interested to learn a little more about our climbing to Cala Pathar ... read on!
100 photos from the hike to the Tien Shan
Memories of an experimental campaign "Zailiysky Alatau" , Kazakhstan, July 14, 2013
I write this report 3 years after the hike, based on the notes that I made then on the itinerary. Much has already been erased from memory, but one thing I remember very well -
in the hike you can not relax until the very last second. Even if there are some 100 meters to the end of the route and you can already hear the smell of asphalt, you still need to remain vigilant ...
I really liked Tien-Shan. Rainy weather more than compensated for the joy of discovery and an incredibly warm company. Actually, look at the photos and you will understand everything yourself.
Instructor in Tien Shan
Photo report about the hike on"Zailiysky Alatau " (Northern Tien Shan) 09/12/2016
This fall, for the second time (the first was a couple of years ago) I got to the Tien-Shan as an instructor. It turned out that the already familiar route had prepared many surprises ... Strangely enough, mostly pleasant, for which special thanks to the great Amangeldy)) Some superstitious tourists believe that this mountain and its name can have the most radical influence on the weather over the Zailiysky Alatau. So, we are very lucky with the weather and this has had a significant impact on our successes. We went through much more than last time and are therefore very pleased with ourselves. Well, the autumn Tien Shan, of course, is beautiful.
In the best traditions of Tolkien
Feedback on the hike The highest peaks in June 2016. Carpathians.
When the mountains were still far away, I already realized that I was in for an unusual time. Slightly hidden by the haze of the mountain, they even made the road to the place of start something unusual. But the most interesting thing of course was waiting for me on the march ...
