About Dagestan
Our home is the legendary Republic of Dagestan, located between Caspian Sea and Caucasus Mountains, a part of Russia famous for breathtaking wild nature and traditional hospitality of the local people.
Here you find Europe’s deepest canyon, spectacular waterfalls, ancient mountain villages, wild stretches of coastline and many more natural wonders. Home to more than 30 ethnic groups, Dagestan is a colourful melting pot of different heritages, languages and traditions kept alive over the centuries.
Its stunning natural beauty, richness of culture and friendly local people, makes Dagestan the ideal destination for those who want to avoid mass tourism and prefer authentic travel experiences off the beaten paths.

Every time of the year has its own beauty.
You can travel almost all year round.

April and May, nature is waking up. The whole country is covered in lavishly greens and a blooming carpet of flowers.
June, July and August are perfect beach weather when the Caspian Sea reaches 25°C.
During our long and mild autumn, September and October are excellent for travelling through wonderfully coloured landscapes.
November, the first snowfalls cover the tops of the high-up mountains. Panoramas and views are wonderful and you have all the famous places very much for yourselves.
