Dagestan. Uncommon Tips for Independent Travelers

Traveling savage is not always easy, but always interesting. And so that some of you who are going to Dagestan are more often interested than not just, I share my original, but useful advice, obtained from my own experience.

Hello everyone, my name is Alexandra. And I share with you my impressions of the trip to Dagestan Hello everyone, my name is Alexandra. And I share with you my impressions of the trip to Dagestan

I thought for a long time, if I have the right to give advice , although She herself stayed in Dagestan for only a week and did not see even half of what she wanted to see. I decided that I have, since I will talk exclusively about my experience. So don t expect standard and comprehensive advice. Although there will still be a couple of standard ones.

1. Take cash

In Dagestan, it is better to have cash with you, especially when you go to the mountains. Despite the fact that near large settlements, even in the mountains, the Internet is excellently caught (I hint at a bank transfer), you will still need cash.

By the way, the coverage of communications in the mountains was a pleasant surprise. I thought that it would not be anywhere at all, and there was not only communication, but also mobile Internet, including LTE. But, of course, not everywhere By the way, the coverage of communications in the mountains was a pleasant surprise.

Behave not only politely, but also decently

In our understanding, this is a harmless photograph with only bare backs (the girls were in trousers). However, they were almost threatened with a trial of offending the feelings of believers , a fuss arose and the girls, of course, began to receive threats. Although there was just a misunderstanding on their part¹.

If you want to bring a hat as a gift to someone, or maybe you want to buy it for photos, then go to the market … An ordinary city market. It is there that you will find a hat at an adequate price.

I remembered about this beautiful headdress already at the airport, where it costs 4 times more than in the market. The market price was suggested to us by the guys who were already wearing hats at the airport. In general, I was left without a hat 🙂

But someone with themselves on the plane flew with a hat in their carry-on baggage 🙂 But someone with themselves on the plane flew with a hat in their carry-on baggage 🙂 4. Visit sights in the mountains in the morning

Obvious, of course, advice, but just do not underestimate it. If we are talking about Gamsutla or Saltinsky waterfall (which is dry, but worth a visit), then this is not even advice, but almost a rule . Otherwise, you can blur your impression of the attraction.

We came to Gamsutl at the ninth hour. In the photo, the city is almost without people (seen on the left on the “ square a gathering of tourists). After about 15-20 minutes the number of people grew more and more We came to Gamsutl at the ninth hour.

In the mountains, in any dry weather, you should smear with sunscreen or protect yourself otherwise. And in sunny weather, the cream should be reapplied after a few hours. I did this, and my friend, who had never been burned in her life, relied on her skin and got a badly burned nose.

Yes, in our case the sun was hotter because it was spring. But it is better to take care of yourself, especially if the skin is not accustomed (at least with a cap) Yes, in our case the sun was hotter, because it is spring.

Some car rental companies set a daily mileage limit … Such conditions are not suitable for traveling in the mountains of Dagestan! There are serpentines, there are a lot of attractions, you need to travel a lot. Pay attention that there are simply no mileage restrictions.

We rented a car ourselves and clarified this point separately Last but not least

If you are flying out of Makhachkala and your exit is < b> to the left of the check-in counters (if you stand to standing face), then until the very last moment, do not go there. Otherwise, you will be taken to very small room with a lot of people . And you may not like it there.

I may be spoiled for large airports, but I d rather sit in front of the airport or in the building itself. It was stuffy here I might be spoiled for big airports, but I d rather sit in front of the airport or in the building itself. Here I had to stand in the stuffiness

I would be glad if you add your own tips to my less important useful tips in the comments. I m sure you have them very useful. And yes, even if they are not global either, write anyway!
