Kurush is the highest mountain village in Russia

Kurush is the highest mountain village in Russia, the Republic of Dagestan. It is not only the highest mountain, but also the southernmost village in the country. It is located at an altitude of 2,560 meters above sea level. There are no hotels, cafes or souvenir shops here - only mountains, silence and the real life of the highlanders. An ideal place for those who seek solitude and unspoilt nature. The village is located 130 kilometers from Derbent, but make no mistake - the road is not easy. The last 25 kilometers are dirt roads and a steep climb, so it's better to drive in dry weather. It is also important to issue a pass through the Public Services portal in advance - at least one month before the trip.
