  • Welcome to Dagestan, Russia's southernmost republic and one of the most diverse and interesting regions on Earth. Dagestan, a mostly Muslim region in the south of Russia on the northwest coast of the Caspian Sea, is known for the stark beauty of its mountain landscapes, for its many small ethnic groups and the big hearts of the people. We are exploring the beautiful and often misunderstood, Dagestan for the next 10 days or so, from the Caspian Sea coast to the oldest city in Russia!
    But we are going to start up in the region of Chokh, in the remote Caucasus mountains - and specifically the abandoned village of Gamsutl, also known as the Machu Picchu of Russia! 🇷🇺

    Dagestan, what a great tour Matt and Julia. The landscape, terrain and the architecture of the old deserted villages - all very similar to where I was based for sometime in Taif, Saudi Arabia in the beautiful Hijaz mountains. Many thanks to you both

I'd rather choose the open field. Gamsutl is absolutely a fairy tale village with stunning views. All the scenery in this video almost feels prehistoric. Why is that footbridge (on the way back from the waterfall) locked down? Thanks for this video, really wonderful content by a wonderful couple! ❤

    Those are strange, wild mountains. They look like they were just formed or exposed and haven't had time for the rough edges to be worn down. They're all scraggly and sharp and barren looking.

    Fascinating place - however at 12:16 ...... I've noticed quite a few well-known travel RUclipsrs (mentioning no names, but including a very well known one who has visits Russia, plus a few others who go all over the world) ...... they DON'T seem to have a decent pair of walking boots or even "lightweight" i.e. ankle height walking shoes. Plenty of good brands to choose from, but avoid Magnum boots and Adidas GSG shoes/boots - the soles on them don't last.

    Enjoyed the video! How safe was Dagestan? I've heard a lot of people and governments advising against travel there

      Dagestan is among the top five leaders in Russia in terms of security

    Great video, keep up the good work! Really enjoyed it. What camera and editing software are you using? Also I have just made one of my first travel vlogs in Rome - would appreciate if you could give it a watch and leave any feedback. Thanks again, for the great video 😊

    Вау, я как раз живу в Дагестане, в Каспийске 🤩, вам обязательно следует посетить Сулакский Каньон, если вы там ещё не были, очень красивое место 🥰
