Georgia  Azerbaijan  armenia  chechnya  dagestan ossetia ingushetia circassia 

Few are the places on Earth that can claim a more diverse amalgam of ethnicities, languages and cultures as the one forming the intricate human puzzle of this little-known mountainous region drawing the border between historically opposing worlds: Europe and Asia, Christianity and Islam, the former Soviet Union and the Middle East. A nameless French traveller once wrote that two are the most colourful things on this planet: the robes of the women in Haiti and the demographic map of the Caucasus. From the medieval watchtowers in Chechnya to the green pastures of Georgia, from the ancient monasteries in Armenia to the high peaks of Dagestan, from the lush forests of Abkhazia to the rickety oil drills of Azerbaijan, from the arcane monoliths of Circassia to the mysterious necropolis of North Ossetia and across the jigsawed borders of every single geopolitical backwater, we'll be happy to guide you through the many wonders of this fascinating strip of land stretching from the Black Sea to the Caspian shores. A rich plethora of Soviet-era architecture, mosaics and memorials is, of course, included in each of our Caucasus trips.

In addition to the published itineraries, we also offer tailored adventures, unusual travel routes and short city trips across and beyond the Soviet Caucasus. Examples include: island-hopping in Dagestan, ethnological expeditions in Azerbaijan and melancholic journeys across the rolling steppes of Northern Chechnya. Get in touch with us for more info about unadvertised tours.

In the absence of grain look in the valley. In the absence of reasons look at the mountains.
