Gagra Ridge: Highland Jeep Tour
Do you want to enjoy picturesque views? Escape the stuffy climate and immerse yourself in the "green" coolness? We are pleased to offer you an unforgettable high-altitude walk. The route duration is from 6 to 10 hours (including border and customs control).
Jeep Tour: Comfort and Freedom
The trip takes place in comfortable Japanese-made off-road vehicles Toyota Land Cruiser 200. We will go where ordinary cars cannot reach. Instead of a schedule — freedom. Instead of general facts — deep stories. Instead of road fatigue — the feeling of gliding along mountain serpentines, admiring from above the turquoise ribbons of rivers and emerald bowls of canyons.
Your driver-guide is an expert and attentive companion who will turn the road into a fascinating narrative. He knows where the waterfall that is not mentioned in guidebooks is hidden, and from which point you can see that breathtaking view of the mountains merging with the sea.
Route
The route starts from your place of residence (Sochi, Adler, Krasnaya Polyana, Gagra) and includes visits to:
- The climatic resort of Gagra
- The legendary Gagra Colonnade
- Viewpoint over the Pitsunda Lowland
- The high-mountain area at the foot of Mount Arabika (2657 m above sea level) — the Katsitsi and Bambonash tracts
What Awaits You
We offer you a unique experience. You will not be bothered by hundreds of tourists — only with us will you feel alone with nature. We do not limit your time — enjoy the high-mountain horizons as long as you wish. The drive through the alpine zone will be about 25 kilometers, with numerous stops at picturesque places. In the shade of a beech forest, we will offer you a tasting of local homemade cheese and real Abkhazian wine (beware of fakes!).
Picnic and Overnight in the Mountains
We recommend that you stock up on food for a picnic. Our vehicles are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable rest. Our driver-guides will take care of the barbecue, setting up the camp, and prepare your meal while you enjoy the local beauty.
We know that you might want to stay overnight in the mountains, and we will help you with that! Notify the manager of your wishes, and we will take care of tents, cots, and sleeping bags, or offer you a unique glamping experience in the mountains or a comfortable "balagan". With our company, relaxation is always 100%.
