- Welcome to Dagestan, Russia's southernmost republic and one of the most diverse and interesting regions on Earth. Dagestan, a mostly Muslim region in the south of Russia on the northwest coast of the Caspian Sea, is known for the stark beauty of its mountain landscapes, for its many small ethnic groups and the big hearts of the people. We are exploring the beautiful and often misunderstood, Dagestan for the next 10 days or so, from the Caspian Sea coast to the oldest city in Russia!
But we are going to start up in the region of Chokh, in the remote Caucasus mountains - and specifically the abandoned village of Gamsutl, also known as the Machu Picchu of Russia! 🇷🇺

Man that's gorgeous country. I'd Love to be able to visit Russia
Hope you get there one day! ❤️
Wow. I'm from Russia but have never been to Dagestan. It looks pristine and fantasy. Something like ruins of Minas-Tirith. Cheers)
живя в Дагестане никогда не был там ((
Рад что вам понравлюсь! )))
День добрый, Мэт и Юлия!
Спасибо вам за классные путешествия, за то, что вы ломаете стереотипы о многогранной России и заполняете информационный вакуум для всего мира. Это круто!
С уважением, спасибо!
Спасибо большое Ледман! Нам очень приятно 🥰❤️
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
Thank you so much Matthew! The comparison with Saudi Arabia is really interesting 😌❤️
Loved the video :) The bit where they showed you the babushka making nut butter and then led you in the shop with the plastic wrapped jars was priceless though ;)
Hahaha, yep, they all have a shop ;)
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! ❤
the bridge locked because of animals i gues
@@qawalski5822 Thanks, that makes sense!
There were indeed! 😀❤️ The views were a dream 🥰 Thank you so much Johan, hope you are well!!! 😍❤️
You two are amazingly good to watch! Your happiness and zest for life is infectious. -j
Thank you so much Jason! ❤️🥰
@@MattandJulia all my love Led Zeppelin
Never been to Dagestan☝️ Thanks for the journey 🤗❣️
❤️❤️❤️
Interesting to see Dagestan. Please also show us the towns and how people are living :-)
Thank you, will do 😊
Oh my gosh! The waterfall cave! How amazing!!!!! Such a beautiful region. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for the video, I wish I had a head for heights because just watching that made my toes curl. Absolutely stunning scenery and so interesting. Stay safe 👍
Thank you so much Carole 🥰
wow wow wow... I was checking out some youtube info on Dagestan and occasionally found that post! Going to be there in two weeks!
Was a pleasure to see you two!
Have a great time Misha!! 🥰 more videos to come from Dagestan! ❤️

Such an enjoyable 20 minutes. Great editing and sound
Thank you so much Chris! ❤️
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!
For sure, doesn’t get much remoter than that in modern Europe 🙂
Have you visited the Ulengov Village, The Don,Russia?
You two are great. 🥰
No we haven’t yet 🥰
I watched one video then another and another. It is very beautiful , informative and worth the time .
Thank you so much ❤️
This was so crazy stunning!! Thanks and you guys are great to travel with ❤️
Watched til the end! Great content. Stay safe out there!
Thank you so much David 🙂
What an awesome tour. Nut butter being made, local foods and all the site you saw were amazing. I loved that you got to see things so natural and mostly hidden from most of the world. 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. ❤️🤗
Great video. Thanks for showing us the beautiful landscape around Dagestan. What wonderful wild scenery. So wise to do all this touring while you are still young, and we (some of us oldies) are the beneficiaries of your experiences.
So glad we can bring you along with us 🤗
Great video! Such a beautiful place and it looks so peaceful. Seeing the old abandoned villages just opens the imagination to what life was like there.
Happy New Year Guys! Awesome to see Dagestan through your lens 🎥 Interesting place!
Thank you so much Sinead, happy new year 🥰
Awesome video! That drone footage of Gamsutl was stunning! 😍
take care always to your journey.. God bless.. LOVE from the Philippines.
Thank you so much Bhadz! ❤️
Absolute picturesque , thank you for taking us along, we greatly appreciate you 🙏👍
Than you so much David! 🥰❤️

Julia, your smile and laughs make it all worth while.😁😁😁 Sending your lots of love.💖💖💖 Jim and Harriet . Richmond, Va.

Been enjoying your videos for a couple of weeks now. You are a very delightful couple and the effort, work and joy you put into your videos is very evident. Thanks for the enlightenment and the entertaining education.
Thank you so much, really appreciate it! 🥰
Hi Matt and Julia, great video! Make sure to get in touch with us when visiting Dagestan the next time.
We would love to show you a couple of other amazing places in our wonderful region.
Love your video. Absolutely beautiful landscape. Thanks for sharing.
That was amazing! Like you said, it truly takes your breath away. I was overwhelmed with awe just watching the video.Thank you so much!!!!!
Whoa looks like an off the beaten path dream discovery!
❤️❤️❤️
Muddy trails + long hikes = serene views
Thanks you two for this amazing adventure 😁
Nice tour. Great drone work Matt!
Thank you so much Roger 🥰
Another absolutely fantastic video. I hoped you'd visited as I love the production, the information, your positivity and joy. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!🥰❤️
Just started following you both and love everything you do and show us
What a unique and breathtaking (literally) experience! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Please don’t risk your lives filming for the channel! Maybe it looked more slippery than it was. You two are sure going to remember this one, I think! (Unless your brains are oxygen deprived, then…🤪) ❤️
Haha, thank you so much Cindy! We are still breathing 🥰❤️
You are so adventurous. Thank you for taking us on your journeys.
You guys are lovely! :) and I love how real you two are :) looking forwards to watching your next adventure :)
Thank you so much 🥰
Great video. Always enjoy the views. Such beautiful country side. Good luck in those mini vans. 😂😂. Be safe. ❤️❤️
That was a great tour, wonderful scenery. I'm surprised no one has moved into that village to restore it like they have in a lot of other countries like Italy ect
Thus far I guess, hopefully in the near future 🤞🏻
Such a great video!!!
❤️❤️❤️
Wow, that abandoned village looks like something out of a fantasy novel. How stunning Chokh is! Thank you for taking us along.
So glad you enjoyed it Samantha! ❤️
WOW by far my fav vid...just love it
Thank you so much John! ❤️🥰
its beautiful places,thanks for this videos
The walk up the gorge to the waterfall was amazing. And this incredible village. Damn I wish I was there with you.
Wow! What an amazing tour and day!!!!
A great vlog.!
You two could make reading the gas bill entertaining!
Haha, thank you so much Nick 🥰
That was beautiful. With the way you film, I felt like I was there.
Dagestan is beautiful. Scenery is breathtaking.Thanks Matt and Julia.
So glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏼❤️
Thoroughly enjoy seeing Russia and Silk Road route through your videos. Thanks again.
Spectacular, thank you!
🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Another quality toilet! At least your van driver wasn't drunk this time. ;) Gorgeous footage of Dagastan.
Haha, one of the best toilets we found! ;)
wow! you guys are awesome)
WOW !! Russia is vast and wonderful country to visit for tourists , so much rich history and culture
You are very welcome!
🥰🤗❤️❤️❤️
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.
Incredibly interesting and so beautiful in there own right 😍
that was fantastic, I would like to see that for myself you guys take care
Wow like being in top of the world.Not an easy life to live there.Nature and the cave!
❤️❤️❤️
Oh my!, just breathtaking! I never knew Russia was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Great Video, stunning place, what a trek, and as usual happy and giggling, love it, even my wife likes watching, she’s not always easy to please 🙏😂👍😉
Haha, thank you guys 🥰❤️
Look at the big smiles of the Dagestani people. You can see they are very happy.
Edging closer to 50K subscribers! Very exciting!!! :)
Thank you so much for your support Marc! Postcard on its way to you 🥰❤️
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"
When u guys were in that abendend vilige, and just sayng "wow this is beautifull, its just amazing" and ur eyes were looking all over the place, while the kamera was pointed at YOU 2 (not sayng it was a bad view, but...) I was like - why are they punishing us ?! But a cople of sec lather u redeem ur selves .
Seriously though, magnificent place. Mather Nature is the best Artist.
Haha, it was the build up to the drone shots 😉😄
Fascinating place - however at 12:16 ...... I've noticed quite a few well-known travel CZcamsrs (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.
Cheers Steve, the issue for all of us traveling full-time is luggage space. We had to pick one pair of trainers which are reasonably versatile 😊
Incredible ❤️
Fascinating guys, thank you for this. And so sad that Russia is not easily accessible for foreigners at the moment. So nice to see a video about Dagestan that doesn’t mention war or terrorism!
Thanks.Great
Breathtaking!
You are breathtaking !
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
That little van did well up that pass.
Wow! What an adventure. You must be exhausted.
Thank you Helene 😃
wow.. i want to visit it soon
Beautiful and very old. I bet that's really different looking in the sunlight. Yum Borcsht!!!
Ohh yeah in the summer it looks so beautiful ❤️
у деда на буханке руль крутой ) а цвет салона сочетается с окружаюшей природой, красавчик !
На Кавказ надо приезжать летом...
Is the air really fresh? I have a feeling it is!
Magnificent
Hi Matt and Julie Do you have a visit to Toronto in the future Greetings to you (I'm Ali from Iraq)
Hi Ali! Yes definitely at some point 🥰
Beautiful 😍 country and a prosperous city dagestan. I'll visit soon InshaAllah
Вау, я как раз живу в Дагестане, в Каспийске 🤩, вам обязательно следует посетить Сулакский Каньон, если вы там ещё не были, очень красивое место 🥰
There's just as gorgeous views in Scotland and Wales !! Also parts of England..try there some time hey ??
Great vid guys... To much climbing for this old dude.... u guys remind me of my gf and i..
Haha, for us too Darryl! 😀
Enjoyed the video! How safe was Dagestan? I've heard a lot of people and governments advising against travel there
Dagestan is among the top five leaders in Russia in terms of security
Omg. The archaeology is blowing my mind 😭
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks romeo and juliet.
Great video, keep up the good work! Really enjoyed it. What camera and editing software are you using? Also I have just made one of my first travel vlogs in Rome - would appreciate if you could give it a watch and leave any feedback. Thanks again, for the great video 😊
Отлично спасибо вам
Рад что понравлюсь 😊
I'm confused by the random shot of those two cattle apparently way up on that hill miles away from anyone; I guess they fell out with the rest of the herd down below.
Hallo mat and jul
When you come to Indonesia, bandung. West java
Wow what an amazing abandoned village! I would love to visit someday. And well done keeping your asses dry! 😂
Haha, thank you so much Emma! ❤️
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
❤️❤️❤️
how much. was the tour?
What a beautiful place to visit, I love the traditions of how the tea is poured, the food looks amazing to.
On thing I get a big giggle out of when is a Lada car, I had a boss who owned one, he made me drive it on occasion. I used to tell him it was Russian Tank in disguise so when Russia was going to invade they already had their tanks here.
You have to know it was in the “Cold War years back then) so things were so very different. We even used to have air raid sirens that would go off as a test.
We were instructed to get into a tucked position under our school desks when the sirens would sound off, in reality they should have let us run around for 20 mins in reality, if the missiles where coming ( it would have been our last 20 minutes or so alive) I still think they should have taught us to kiss our asses goodbye instead lmao.
Thankfully this never happened.
Beautiful place !!
❤️❤️❤️
how did you two meet each other?
That's like being in Arizona in the superstition mountains in winter❄️😊
