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'm sure I saw persimmons early in the video... 😀Dodgy roads? Indeed! 🤦‍♂ But the views of the Dagestan mountain wilderness takes one's breath away! Beautiful! That "long drop" toilet? 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! ❤

It looks like you had a day full of memories you will never forget. Thank you for taking us along. I am throughly enjoying going on all your travels with you; places I will probably never see in person. So thank you for all your hard work to share these adventures with us. ❤️🤗

We are living in pushbutton lifestyle & everything can be delivered on our door , still many complains . Maybe they should try to camp on that abandoned beautiful village for a week , to realize how lucky we are now. I wish I can explore that village too , and the caved river .its beautiful!

Muddy trails + long hikes = serene views Thanks you two for this amazing adventure 😁

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. At first I thought it was an area that had been strip mined! They have to be some tough people to be able to live and thrive there.

From Wikipedia about Gamsutl: "In the 20th century the village had shops, a post office, and a hospital.[2][1] In the late 1950s people began to leave the village; the number of inhabitants fell to 200 in 1970 and to 17 in 2002"

Fascinating place - however at 12:16 ...... I've noticed quite a few well-known travel KZreadrs (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.
