Caucasus

Overview

A vast region that is surely one of the most culturally and naturally fascinating, but unfortunately has experienced unrest and near-permanent insecurity across much of its territory for decades. In short, whether it's Chechnya, Ingushetia, Dagestan, or the other local autonomous republics, travel is strongly discouraged.
