MYTHS AND LEGENDS OF THE HIGH CAUCASUS
DAY 1 TO DAY 2 – Vladikavkaz and THE PLAINS
Meet-and-greet at Vladikavkaz International Airport and transfer to our hotel of choice in central Vladikavkaz.
Two days devoted to the Ossetian northern plains: the elegant capital Vladikavkaz, where Tsarist architecture, Soviet modernist shapes, traditional Ossetian churches and ancient mosques harmoniously come together; the small town of Beslan, sadly notorious due to the dramatic events of the 2004 school siege; the Soviet military city of Mozdok with its imposing memorials; Mizur, a rough-and-ready quintessential Soviet mining town home to the futuristic statue of Petr Barbashev.
Overnights in Vladikavkaz.
DAY 3 TO DAY 5 – DARGAVS AND THE OSSETIAN MOUNTAINS
The next three days will be spent travelling across the breath-taking magnificence of the Ossetian highlands: the larger-than-life monument to Saint George the Slayer in Tamisk; the mountain resort hamlet of Tsey, renowned for the pristine nature of its surroundings and the mystic atmospheres of the ancient Ossetian temples; the almost mythical settlement of Dargavs, the Ossetian City of the Dead; the gorgeous sceneries of the Alaniya National Park, close to the internal border with the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.
Dinner and overnight in Tsey.
DAY 6 – journey home or Southern Extension
After enjoying a last Ossetian-style breakfast together we'll take care of your transfer to Mineralnye Vody International Airport.
For those wishing to explore the internationally unrecognised but de-facto suzerain Republic of South Ossetia, there is a three-day South Ossetia bespoke trip option that includes the self-declared capital of Tskhinvali, the border town of Leningor, and a vast array of remote mountain hamlets and secluded monasteries.
