What is Svanetia for me?

Report on hike in Svaneti September 10 - September 18, 2016.

It would be wrong and loud to say that I studied or learned it completely. Only very small, but such a weighty and proud part of it, which I managed to see - Svanetia. Imagine a place where nature and people practically do not fight for territory. A place where everything remained almost in its original form. A place that only partially, but quite organically, allowed a person to share his existence with himself.

 

Carpathian tourist customs and traditions

Memories of the trip в "Wild Guards " (Carpathians) 11/11/2016 Recently I was lucky to visit the Carpathians. This was my first tour as a tourist, so it was interesting to observe local tourist habits.

Firstly, I was very impressed with the ritual of burning tourist shoes. We must assume that this tradition is based on the ancient traditions of sacrificing people, but given the fact that the number of tourists has recently fallen, the custom is only supported for mountain boots.

 

Tours to Nepal

Треккинг туры в Непал

Turkulub OutdoorUkraine has been organizing active tours to Nepal since 2009. On the route the group is accompanied by an experienced Russian-speaking guide who has visited Nepal several times, and several Nepalese (porters, assistant instructors). Our guide solves all issues arising during trekking - book accommodation, organize transportation, help to order food in lodges, communicate with Nepalese porters. Therefore, to participate in a hike in Nepal, tourists do not need to know English.

 

Kiss Of Medusa

Поцелуй Медузы Горгоны A story about a trip to Turkey - Western Lycian trail January 2015. Author: Eugene Makian. Now looking at the tape of friends who post pictures of their Christmas holidays. Most spent the holidays in mountain hikes on snow Carpathians. But I had another plan. Directly opposite. I wanted warmth and sun! I confess - I'm tired of the snow and wind in your face, damp and cold. But I wanted to hike. The solution has been found: a hike on a warm Turkish mountains along the Mediterranean sea. Lycian way.

The day trekking in Nepal

Распорядок дня в треккинге по Непалу The life of the tourist commercial trekking in Nepal is relatively easy and carefree - no need to collect firewood, to cook, to set and collect tents. In this case, the trekking, i.e. movement along the path is rarely takes more than 6 hours per day, because of the requirements of the safe acclimatization we can't gain too much altitude in one day. Tourists used to the tight schedule regular mountain hikes amazed - what do you do all day in your Nepal? To lift the veil of secrecy, I will tell you about the day trekking in Nepal. So, one average day from lifting and to hang up...
 

Hot peppers

Горячие перчики
      I do not know if I agreed to this adventure if it knew in advance what I will have difficulties overcome, but now, after it, I can say most definitely - I liked it. Quite unexpectedly for myself, I was in an environment that required complete all forces - and physical and moral. And it was great.  
 

Carpathians affect

Мы будем идти по траверсу
      This is my first trip to the Carpathians. Prior to this, only went to the Crimea, so I'll say it's not the Carpathians Crimea and to compare them with each other can not, because they are two completely different regions with different climates and the nature of the terrain. Carpathians affect its color, boundless expanse, majesty and mystery.    

Thunder

Upon arrival at the starting point of the hike by myself backpack - here and understand what you have to go. First, it seems that the road will never end, but the heaviness behind gradually goes away as soon as fabulous views of the mountains, and already go and absorb the smell of the oil. Our group was very lucky - it's raining on the second day. But even he has brought a lot of impressions - thunder, literally stun and whizzing through the mountains echo for a minute.  

Rainy voyage along the Carpathian peaks

Дождливый вояж по Карпатским вершинам
In the Carpathian Mountains, I never went, and in the west of Ukraine was not. Before the campaign, I knew one distinctive feature of these ancient mountains, there are very often raining. Promonitoriv the weather for the past few weeks I realized that it would be wet. And so it happened. Upon arrival in the Ivano-Frankivsk weather greeted me with open arms - ie rain and wind. This meeting I never for a moment confused. To the surprise of the group has a considerable (14 people with an instructor) and this fact gave me confidence that in spite of the bad weather campaign must succeed.
 

On top of Ukraine

На вершині України
With our first breath we begin to explore the world around them. Every day we become aware of ourselves and our planet more and more. But no book, no film or the most eloquent review will not be the best for the trip, for personal communion with nature. Actually, I'll take talking about their experiences and personal impressions from a short trip called "the Highest peak". The Carpathians, no doubt, were, are, and will be unique and distinctive place. And the biggest mistake I could make is to compare them with the Crimea. No matter how much time passed, but I seem to forget I can not.

In Nepal developed tourist infrastructure - there are many hotels, mountain shelters, stores equipment, lack of transport and all kinds of catering. The local population is configured friendly, many speak English, all are happy to make money and, most importantly, not too much ask for their services.

Of given that trekking in the Himalayas, Nepal is much easier than it might seem at first glance. Here you can and should travel with a light backpack, carrying a minimum of things and enjoying the scenery, and not its capacity :)
