Why does everyone go to the small Sulak Canyon when there is a BIG one? #dagestan #russia
The Sulak canyon in Dagestan is the deepest in Europe. Its depth is 1920 meters! Just think about this number. It's almost 2 kilometers deep!
Wikipedia says that the Sulak Canyon is located near the village of Dubki in the Kazbekovsky district. And most of the tours in Dagestan are carried out with a stop in Dubki
⠀
❗But few people know that the deepest and most impressive part of the Sulak Canyon (the very 1920 meters of depth!) Is located in a completely different place - not far from the village of Upper Karanay. It's even a different area. And there is a completely different path!
⠀
This part of the canyon is much less visited, but in vain! ☝That's where the real scale is!

⠀
In total, the Sulak Canyon consists of 3 parts: the Miatly Canyon, the Chirkey Canyon and the Great Sulak Canyon. And it is located on the territory of 5 Districts at once: Kizilyurtovsky, Kazbekovsky, Buynaksky, Gumbetovsky and Untsukulsky districts
⠀
The Chirkey and Miatly parts of the canyon are located below the Chirkey reservoir, and the Grand Sulak Canyon is upstream.
⠀
It is also called the Main Sulak Canyon. There are beautiful lookouts here that can be reached by car if you know the way (but be careful not to drive too close to the edge)
With housing on the Grand Sulak Canyon, you can contact the photographer and guide, the ambassador of the Sulak Canyon, Saygidov Ahmed. Here is a link to his Instagram:

The difference in scale between the Chirkey Sulak Canyon in Dubki and the Great Sulak Canyon in the Upper Karanay is visible to the naked eye. After the Great Sulak Canyon, the canyon in Dubki is perceived as... small!
⠀
📏 If we compare the parameters of these parts of the canyon on Google maps, and not on sensations, then here the difference is impressive:
⠀
The depth of the canyon near the village of Dubki is from 500 to 1000 m, and the depth of the canyon near the Upper Karanaya is from 1100 to 1900 m!😮
⠀
The width of the Sulak River near the village of Dubki is from 20 to 100 m, and the width of the Sulak River near the Upper Karanaya is from 200 to 600 m!😮
Not everyone knows about the existence of the Great Sulak Canyon. The road there is not paved, the infrastructure for tourism has not yet been built, so often guides and tour operators (in vain!) ignore this bomb location
Did you know about the Grand Sulak Canyon?
