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
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.

A story about a trip to Turkey - Western Lycian trail January 2015.

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
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...

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

Happiness Of The Himalayas
I sincerely wish those who at least once visited the mountains, to be in the Himalayas! Friends, you will not regret it! Once there in the campaign, you'll remember my words! It's the country that turns over in our heads a lot and everyone probably their: another start to look at life, overestimate it, and even more love for the abundance, beauty and originality!
And today the Himalayas again beckon me, I want again sometime in the near or distant future to be in this WONDERFUL WORLD!
Trekking in Nepal with russian speaking guide
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 :)
History of the OutdoorUkraine
Sometimes tourists gathering for the first time to go with us to the mountains, afraid to ask about reliability . Can they trust OutdoorUkraine? I think the best antidote to such doubts will be our story - stages of development of the project , since the advent of the first site back in 2005 . We are not a one-day site, we have a story , have a reputation .
But for those who have long been familiar with us, in this article , too, have a couple of surprises - such as the "address" of rock from our logo and our first screenshots of the little-known sites .
Outdoor - What does it mean?
The name for the site comes up with in those days, when we were sure that our main customers will be foreigners (from Western Europe). Thats why we choose name understandable to any English-speaking visitor - Outdoor Ukraine. But what does it mean - Outdoor?

Began to break through the window light and then I realized that a new day has come , the same long-awaited day when I see that what had long dreamed of . But rising from the bed and looked out the window , my joy had disappeared . I saw thick, gray fog . Throughout Ukraine forecasters rains passed . But approaching ever closer to Ivano- Frankivsk miracle happened - the fog and disappeared over the horizon seemed clean and clear sky . The train stopped and the comfort of his soul was filled with joy and happiness.

Already you can relax, take a shower and normal civilized stretch your legs on a soft little bed. But on the other hand somehow sad at heart. Have to say goodbye to the people that had become friends, with fresh mountain air, spring water and beautiful scenery.
