Why do we recommend the standard types of tourism? First: as you know, mountaineering is a school of courage, and tourism is a school of marriage. On a tourist trip, against the backdrop of some difficulties and isolation from the usual way of life, the girl sees right through her chosen one. The poet said: “Take a guy into the mountains, take a risk, there you will understand who he is.”

Second: representatives of the stronger sex have the opportunity to show themselves as real men. Third: two days spent on the beach are difficult to distinguish from each other, and two trips to the sea, in different years, are not much different. During the hike, every day is completely different, full of many events and impressions.

People who have only been on a hike once in their lives remember each day separately as the best moments of their lives. And finally: communication with the divine beauty of nature is simply wonderful!

“In the home sofa and armchair rest, fatigue accumulates from the bustle, from the artificial image of forests, mountains and rivers, there is no that sharpness and real feeling of living nature, when with your whole being you feel its blessed energy, the aroma of a coniferous forest, the tenderness and warmth of the gentle sun, the shady the coolness of a mountain river, when the mountains live with you, when the dangers of the mountains lie in wait for you at every step, disturb your soul and excite your blood, when they are visible and real. Risk, daring, mischief, seemingly reckless overcoming of rapids water element, steep cliffs and icefalls - this is a state of real life, energy, the romance of that wonderful time that remains in memory for a lifetime, and which we call youth."

Trekking - detailed information about walking tours around the world. Types of trekking, popular routes, photos and reviews from travelers about trekking on the “Subtleties of Tourism”.

Trekking was invented by ancient people when they were exploring new territories. Yes, this sport is thousands of years old. In those days, it was unkempt and unkempt, and everyone did it indiscriminately. Moreover, people didn’t even understand that they were preaching trekking - that’s how dense they were.

We're talking about hiking. You wake up, for the sake of decency, dress and put on your shoes and go on a journey. Everything is very simple. Trekking is accessible to everyone who has legs and is able to move them. More simple type tourism, perhaps, will not be found.

What is trekking

Trekking is similar to football in terms of its degree of democracy. In both cases, no special equipment or equipment is required. True, if you go on a long trip, you will have to take care of comfort and safety. After all, professional football players don’t play barefoot.

Hiking takes everyone into its ranks, indiscriminately. The main thing is that you can walk and not complain about your health. There are difficult routes that run through mountains or deserts, which only a physically resilient person can handle.

Typically, during a tour, a traveler covers about 40-50 kilometers. Of course, a lot depends on the weather and the road. In the heat you get tired faster, in the bitter cold you think about how to warm up as quickly as possible, during a strong wind you don’t walk, but barely crawl.

Trekkers usually choose routes with already established trails. They collect as much information as possible about them in order to take the necessary equipment with them. One of the tasks of hiking is to get to know nature, terrain, customs and life of other peoples. These are such educational walks.

In general, tourists claim that walking, first of all, helps a person to know himself, and only then the world. Imagine: you are walking along the road, relying virtually only on yourself and the people who walk next to you. You don't have any transport. Rescue services can only contact you by radio, but when they arrive. So think about it: do you trust yourself or not, are you ready to walk hundreds of kilometers or would you rather stay at home in front of the TV.

Trekking Features

Hiking, for all its simplicity, has a number of nuances. For example, before you set off, you need to do pre-trip training. This is to ensure that group members get to know each other and what they are capable of. By the way, groups usually consist of 6-12 people. Instructors cope worse with large numbers.

It is worth paying a lot of attention to getting ready: take documents, a first aid kit, check in with the control and rescue service, grab the necessary clothes.

The travel route is calculated in advance. And the organizer takes on the greatest responsibility along the way. This should be an authoritative and experienced person, a good psychologist who knows the route, who can help in an extreme situation and will not allow people to get upset with each other.

The travel schedule depends on the endurance of the participants. The guideline is according to the weakest. Usually these are women or children. It’s clear that men can go further, but they shouldn’t drag everyone else down with them.

The guides do not welcome extreme sports. If someone suddenly wants to conquer a mountain or swim across a river, then it is better to do it another time, as part of another group with an instructor who is more loyal to such things. There is a route that everyone has agreed on and it is worth sticking to.

Trekking in Russia

Foreigners adore Russia for its nature and size. Walking tours are great for helping you feel the distance. In our country, you can choose tours in almost any region - from the Baltic to Primorye. Moreover, these will be journeys of varying lengths and levels of difficulty.

South Region

Mountains and sea - that's what awaits travelers in the south of Russia. Here the regions differ in climate - from subtropics to glaciers. Most often the route passes through the Caucasus Mountains.

The most popular tour is called “Thirty” - it starts from the resort of Khadzhokh and ends in the village of Dagomys. During the trip, participants can visit archaeological and natural monuments such as dolmens and shelters of ancient people. The route goes past waterfalls, lakes, mountains, rivers, waterfalls, more lakes, more rivers and mountains - you can see enough for two lifetimes.

Altai

The ancient people who lived on the territory of Altai left many interesting places as memories of themselves. They are exactly what trekkers meet on their way. Here you can choose summer or winter hiking of different lengths.

The Altai Mountains are easier to conquer than the Caucasus Mountains - they are lower and without steep elevation changes. In summer, many stopping points are located in the forest. Natural monuments are mainly located around Mount Belukha, with which myths about Shambhala are associated.

Karelia

Karelia is a beautiful region with lakes, swamps and taiga forests. Here, while traveling, you need to get to know the aborigines as closely as possible, with their way of life and customs.

In Karelia, hiking is slightly extreme: in summer trekkers are haunted by mosquitoes and other blood-sucking creatures, and in winter they can only travel on skis. During a camping trip, you most often have to live in small houses with amenities in the yard.

Baikal

One of the main hiking trips on Lake Baikal - in addition to visiting the lake - is to the Shumak mineral springs. They are said to have great healing powers. Thousands of tourists come and come here to try this water. They carry backpacks and conquer rocky paths. But this is even better. Because, as they say, if you don’t get tired, you won’t rest.

Kamchatka

In Kamchatka, hikers are sent to the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes - this is one of the most interesting corners of the country in terms of the activity of the “breathing” mountains. The trails are laid along the spurs and slopes of Klyuchevsky volcano. Here you can see a powerful chain of the highest ones - Nameless, Stone and others.

Prepared tourists can climb the southernmost volcano of this group - Plosky Tolbachik, its height is more than 3 kilometers.

Siberia

A tour of Siberia is a visit to parks and reserves. For example, you will be sent to the Stolby Nature Reserve, famous for its wildlife, to the foothills of the Western Sayan Mountains, to the Ergaki Park. Afterwards you can explore the endless expanses of Tuva and its salt lakes. Khakassia will offer cedar taiga for a snack.

Trekking in Nepal

Hiking in other countries of the world

There are several classic hiking routes ahead of you. If you consider yourself a real traveler, then you must conquer at least one of them. The trails are not easy, but you can be proud of the experience gained for the rest of your life.

Corsica, France

The trek through Corsica stretches 170 kilometers and takes 15 days. Along the way there are forests, granite landscapes, craters, lakes, peat bogs, snow and so on. Sometimes the path is complicated by rocky paths, rickety bridges and embankments of boulders. This route was developed in the early 70s of the last century and is considered one of the most popular among trekkers.

Inca Road, Peru

They say that this trail, more than 30 kilometers long, was laid by the Incas. It starts from the Sacred Valley and ends at Machu Picchu. Along the way there are snow-white mountains and elevation changes. Tens of thousands of tourists visit this South American trail every year.

Dogon, Mali

The Dogon are a people of Mali, and their lands are considered one of the most interesting in Africa. The hike can last up to 10 days. The Dogon people build their dwellings in the cliffs, practice wood carving and greet guests by dancing on stilts.

Indian Himalayas, India

It is believed that trekking in Himachal Pradesh is suitable for people who are looking for solitude and want to hide from the world. This is possible here because few people agree to walk along the Indian side of the Himalayas.

A challenging route takes two weeks from Spiti to Ladakh. This is how tourists retrace ancient trade routes. The area around is harsh and deserted.

Overland, Australia

The 80km Overland Trail offers up-close views of Tasmania's wilderness. It leads between Cradle Mountain and the freshwater Lake St. Clair, through forests and heaths. Side trails will reveal waterfalls, valleys and even more mountain peaks, including Ossa, the highest point in the area.

Zion, USA

The 26-kilometer The Narrows trail runs through Zion National Park in the United States. The route includes a river, so you will have to swim about half the way. Well, or you can wade around, which will take more time.

The Narrows can be conquered in one day, but many are in no hurry to leave it so quickly - tourists love the hanging gardens, natural streams and campsites of the park.

Venezuela, climbing in the Andes to Humboldt Peak (4970 m)

Chamonix-Zermatt, France-Switzerland

Your route begins in the French Chamonix, then goes through the southern part of the Swiss canton of Valais and ends in the resort of Zermatt. This way you can cross some of the highest and most picturesque places in the Alps that are accessible to hikers.

This walk can be done in both winter and summer. In the warm season it takes about two weeks. In winter, the route is slightly adjusted so that you can conquer it on skis without any problems.

Once you decide to go hiking, most people develop a hobby for the rest of their lives. It is difficult to say exactly why this happens: the opinions of travelers vary, everyone finds on the road what they lacked for happiness. Here, in the lap of nature, far from the benefits of modern life, people are actively engaged in self-knowledge, improving their moral and volitional qualities, learning to look at the world and their fellow travelers in a new way, and beginning to appreciate and enjoy every moment of life.

The capacious formula “the one who walks can master the road” is not easy beautiful phrase, it remarkably accurately reveals the essence of one of the most popular types of outdoor activities - hiking. And this type of active recreation has more than enough advantages. Walking at a moderate intensity is a surefire way to avoid many health problems. Long walks increase body tone, stimulate muscle activity, improve cardiovascular function vascular system and lift your spirits. Hiking is the best way to unite people, promote mutual assistance and develop team spirit.

Hiking attracts both professional athletes and amateur tourists. Classic hiking has six difficulty categories, which are determined depending on the nature of the terrain and the duration of the route.

An important role in a multi-day hiking trip over rough terrain is played by the physical training and technical equipment of a group of travelers. Many experienced tourists, long before the onset of the tourist season, carefully prepare your equipment so that it corresponds to the planned route and expected weather conditions.

The Adventure Club has developed hundreds of exciting trips for all lovers of active and educational recreation. The variety of hikes under the guidance of professional instructors allows both elderly people and families with children with minimal preparation to go on a walking pilgrimage without the slightest risk. If you're not sure about your physical fitness, check out car tours.

We offer tours to the most remote and interesting corners of our planet with various options accommodation and movement of equipment. In a circle of like-minded people, you will be able to take a complete break from the bustle of the city, “conjure” a pot over a fire, sing songs with a guitar, capture stunning sunrises and sunsets in your memory and in photos, feel unity with the surrounding nature, and also get acquainted with cultural attractions and representatives of the animal world of the region under study.

Hiking routes - who are they for?

Hiking is a very special type of travel.

Hiking is a special type of travel

Such journeys require remarkable preparation, enormous strength of spirit and will. An ordinary unprepared person, after the first kilometers covered on his own two feet, will think a dozen times whether or not to travel on foot in the future. Previously, I myself walked along some routes, covered dozens of kilometers along them, saw a lot of beautiful places, and received a huge number of positive emotions. On some hikes I took friends with me, along several routes, where the path was not the longest or most difficult, my friend and I took our classmates.

• Internal (valleys covered with moraine sediments, covered with grass, which creates conditions for pastures (syrts)).

The Tien Shan ranges are characterized by mountain-glacial relief, which indicates a sharply continental climate. Vegetable and animal world individual areas of the Tien Shan Mountains varies significantly depending on climatic and relief features.

Republic of Belarus

The republic is located in Eastern Europe, which indicates a temperate continental climate with mild winters and warm summers. The terrain is flat and in some areas becomes elevated. Nature, rivers and forests, attract tourists from all over the world. The routes pass through nature reserves and national parks with minimal impact on the environment.

The tourist’s path passes along specially equipped trails. Examples are such parks as “Narochansky”, “” and Polessky Reserve.

Carpathians - Ukraine

The Carpathians are a mountain range in Central Europe, passing through states such as Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine (which is why I decided to insert an overview of the Carpathians in this article), Poland, Serbia, Romania and part of Austria, the peaks of which are covered with glaciers. The total length of the chain is 1600 km. The relief is represented by turbulent rivers, forests and meadow valleys.

The entire mountain range can be divided into alternating climatic zones: Highlands (cold with high humidity), middle mountains (moderate cold), Carpathian region (warm and moderately humid), Lowlands (high humidity) and Transcarpathia (warm and humid). The climate is generally temperate continental, sometimes warm due to the frequent presence of the Atlantic cyclone.

Well, it seems to me that I covered almost all the main hiking routes Russia and CIS countries. Go, explore, admire the great nature and beautiful views.
