The Kanjol Plateau is one of the hidden pearls of Kabardino-Balkaria, a place not as promoted as Bermamyt, but no less impressive. Our agency offers an excursion to Kanjol for those seeking solitude and untouched nature.
The path to the plateau starts from Nalchik and passes through picturesque gorges and passes, rising to an altitude of about two thousand meters above sea level. Kanjol is a vast highland covered with mixed grasses, where flocks of sheep graze and eagles soar overhead. From the edge of the plateau, a dizzying view of the Cherek River valley and the snow-white peaks of the Main Caucasus Range opens up. Unlike crowded tourist locations, absolute silence reigns here, broken only by the whistle of the wind and the distant echo of mountain rivers. The excursion includes a walk around the plateau, a visit to springs with the purest mountain water, and lunch in nature accompanied by the guide’s stories about the history and legends of this region. For those who wish, a horseback ride across the plateau or a masterclass on cooking khychins — traditional Balkar stuffed flatbreads — is available. Kanjol is a place that remains in memory for its pristine beauty and the feeling of complete unity with nature.
