Popular Routes
Most often, jipping in Sochi is organized in such places where large groups do not carry, and individual tourists are unlikely to go "on their own." People are rarely there, and you can visit these amazing waterfalls and gorges thanks to SUVs. Tour operators offer several popular jeep routes. Most often these are the canyons of the Psaho River in the Adler district. The tour includes not only a trip along the river, to rapids and waterfalls, but also a visit to the lakes with blue clay and the Trinity-Sergius Convent.
One of the most interesting trips through the canyons of Psaho is called the Wolf's Maw. It begins in the Dry Gorge and ends on the tower of Mount Akhun. A trip through the waterfalls and sources of Psaho is called "Dirty Dancing." Her children are very fond of. You will be smeared up to the ears in clay and visit the mud deposits, and an excellent mood is guaranteed. The route back to Lake Ritsa, still popular in the Soviet Union, can also be reached not by sightseeing buses, but by jeeps, while visiting difficult-to-reach scenic spots. But since such a trip will take place in the territory of Abkhazia, you should bring your passports and birth certificates (for children).
Extreme Routes
One of the most interesting excursions that jipping in Sochi offers is a trip, the beginning of which is the Yew-boxwood grove near Khosta. Tourists are offered to take a walk along this relict forest along a special trail, take a swim along the path in the natural baths and jacuzzi that the mountain river forms, relax on the Glade of Meetings, and then rush off in jeeps along an old seventeenth-century tract along the mountain canyon, stopping at viewing platforms to admire the breathtaking scenery. In some places, "bungees" are suspended, so if you wish, you can hover over a cliff of a hundred to two hundred meters high. Another route runs from the other side of Greater Sochi - in the Lazarevsky district. These are trips along the Asha River, to the "Witch's Cave" and to Eagle Rocks. Some routes begin on Krasnaya Polyana - on the Khmelevsky lakes, along Aigbinsky Switzerland. There are also historical excursions - along ancient dolmens, for example.
Route Schedule
Usually, a jeep tour in Sochi starts at eight or half past eight in the morning so that you can see as much as possible. Most often these are small groups of eight to ten people in two or three cars.
