As we know time - is the most valuable resource of the human life. Combining two classical climbs - Kazbek and Elbrus into a single program, we firstly save time, as the duration of this program is only 9 days, and secondly, we significantly increase the chances of successful ascent of Mount Elbrus - that is proved in practice that the most unsuccessful attempts to climb the highest peak in Europe fail due to the lack of acclimatization. Climbing of Kazbek, being physically much easier than climbing Elbrus, is maybe not the easiest, but surely the best way to get sufficient acclimatization for comfortable climbing Mount Elbrus. This program is realized via the Guides of Bezengi base in Nalchik - logistics of this program are extremely simple - to the base of climbing routes of Kazbek and Elbrus you will be transported with our 4x4 vehicles - you only have to load your shoulders with your backpack and go to the Summit - there will be no additional transport difficulties on this program.

If we talk about which mountain from all the mountains of Peru symbolize the Cordillera Blanca Mountain Range – the most beautiful mountain system famous by its incredible ice summit forms, most likely the specialists will not have two different opinions. In 1966 in the thematic photo exhibition which took place in Munich, the Peruvian mountain Alpamayo was grated the title "The Most Beautiful Mountain of the World". Surely this assertion is quite disputable, - if you exclaim that there can not be THE MOST beautiful mountain as all the mountains are beautiful in different ways, and their beauty depends mostly on the man's ability to see it, of course you will be right. But, standing on the snow saddle of the high pass between Alpamayo and the neighboring mountain Qitaraju, and being face to face with Alpamayo - it will be difficult to refuse this title to her. Alpamayo amazes by the correctness of its forms and by some power of attraction. Alpamayo West Face, oriented exactly to the West and covered with the ice and snow with deep vertical channels cut in it, burns on the sunsets with all the possible colors and it is one of the most incredible and astounding impressions, which man can get from his communication with the mountains.

 For description of this program, it is strange even to use the word "climbing" and "summit". The fact that they climbed some mountain, the participants of this program realize only when they see the sign which marks the top of the highest mountain of the whole continent, or saying more simply - just one of the many flat hills, which has no difference from the surrounding hills. Climbing to the top of Kosciuszko – that is a good day trip, not decorated with any special difficulties. Walking trail is marked just from the car park, and leads up to the top of Kosciuszko. This trek perfectly complements the overall travel program in Australia, regardless of the main program theme.
