A review about horseback riding. Mount Mamzyshka ashot konyukh. Where the asphalt ends, there are several horses for a walk up the mountain. Ashot Talks to himself, to the horses, to nature and to the guests, with his big cockroaches in his head. I would like to say a very endearing colorful character, if not for his negative features - he is rude, speaks Russian poorly, although he reproaches you all the time that you do not know Russian yourself, we marked our route, he indicated its duration, as a result, we did not meet 1.5 hours. I am a fan of extreme sports, ropejumping, parachuting, downhill skiing, but all this does not compare with this hike to the mamzyshka on horseback, the horses slide and stumble on a steep stone slope. It is unlikely that you will be able to ride horses not in a caravan, when the horses are tied to each other one after the other. It will be remembered for a lifetime, it is very scary and uncomfortable
It's a great place to walk. Available on your own machine. We reached the height of 1500 m, left the car and walked. The children rode horses. Amazing nature on the way!
Back is a long descent.
Mountains, air... I've always loved mountains. The weather was not very good. But!
When everything changes in 15 minutes, it's worth it. You see the view is gorgeous, after 15 minutes it's like in a fog. And then the fairy tale. The raven (it seemed to me) is sitting on a rock, its outline is harder to distinguish in the clouds. He poops, just like in the movie. Around the cloud. Words cannot describe it! You have to see it, you go straight ahead and you walk into it. The feeling is just fire.
I'll say this: you need to see and feel it
Hello everyone 👋
An unforgettable experience))) from a ride up the mountain from a local guide, so to speak, the wife said pee pee if she knew the hell she would go, it's better to walk)).
The essence is this: you drive your car almost to the top, then it seems like 5 km, maybe I don't remember anymore, either by foot or by horse or by UAZ.it makes sense to go, the view is mesmerizing at the top, the wind is strong 15 degrees , it's just cold, however. It is necessary to have a sweater.it's a pity I didn't take off the road when we were driving on the UAZ)))
Very beautiful! From the mamzyshka, two waterfalls are visible: lower Jirkhva and Upper Jirkhva, Chibzhagrsky, go to the lower one, there is also a path through the mountains to the upper one, this is power, you will not regret downloading the MAPS program.Download the map of Abkhazia and go ahead, the program works without the Internet, but always with geolocation enabled. Good shoes such as sneakers or tactical shoes are required.
I recommend going: you can get from summer to winter.
By car, you can get to the place from which you can walk 4-5 km to the top, which is 2-3 hours.
By SUV to the parking lot on the rocky ascent - then a 3.5 km walk through the alpine zone.
It is better to go not by a short road, but by a detour - there is a better road.
You need to go to the start early in the morning, at a maximum of 9 to start the exit: if later, then there is a high probability that the views will tighten the clouds.
The only pity is that the humps of Elbrus are not visible from the top.
We got here first by car, the road is beautiful and, as long as there is asphalt, you can safely drive even a sedan. You can get to the place where the paragliders begin their flight.
Further, only on foot, or with the help of local people in their cars, usually UAZ. The view is certainly magnificent. There are many mountains and you are on one of the peaks.......
We went up from Gagra on foot
A total of 10 hours
2 of which were hitchhiked
The emotions are incredible
On the way, we found a thicket of blackberries and a hunting lodge, where we made a halt,
When we reached the top, we were incredibly happy
The local shepherds are very hospitable, they set the table, treated us to wine and meat, which was incredibly pleasant, we went back down at night on horseback, it was scary, but these feelings were worth it, they even gave us a good discount.
And fireflies were flying around and the fog was coming down😍
It was magical✨
Mountains are love. I'm glad I've been here. An unforgettable off-road jeep ride. I especially liked it when we were driving back with a choice of where to turn right or left. It was cool. The adrenaline was pumping. I recommend
Beauty is everywhere! The road is a bomb, but it shakes well on jeeps. There is no way for small children and the elderly to go there. The types are super. At the very top, you can sit on the edge and admire the Caucasian ridge! And on the other side by the sea and the coast.
The mountain located near Gagra is notable for its beautiful serpentine and observation decks, where you can see the best sunrises and sunsets. Stock up on goodies, drinks and free time, you may have to climb part of the way on foot. Nevertheless, the views will amaze you so much that you will come here more than once!
It's an amazing place. One of the best places in Abkhazia that I have visited. The road is extremely cheerful, the atmosphere is sincere, the views are beautiful, the air is not to breathe too much. My love. I'll come again
It's a beautiful place. I flew from this mountain on a paroplane through the clouds. An unforgettable experience. I advise everyone to visit this mountain. The sea view is excellent.
IT'S JUST A BREAKUP OF EVERYTHING! HERE ARE THE PLACES IN GEORGIA, ITALY AND NORWAY. I went with my mom in the summer. It's a long drive, it shakes of course, but it's worth it! Walking right there in the clouds, the views are just amazing! I immediately want to jump with a parachute! The mountains are awesome. The place is fabulous! I advise everyone! This is the best jeep tour I've ever taken in Abkhazia.
The beauty is indescribable, you need to gain strength and patience to get to the top on foot, from where you can enjoy the most magnificent views of the coast and mountains. Those who are more important and have not spared money can go upstairs in a jeep like a brutal UAZ. The ascents and descents along the road are such that you begin to be proud of the domestic automotive industry modified by the owners. At first I thought that motorcycles and ATVs could ride on such roads, or pedestrians who got bored on the beaches could walk, but it turns out that other vehicles meet with passengers there.
Pros it's a beautiful view all over! Up to the clouds, in the clouds, and above the clouds! The species are getting infected! One of the disadvantages is the quality of the road surface. It feels like he was watched only under the USSR!
It's great on Mamzyshka! The purest air! The most beautiful views!
Just below the top there is a farm, a farm. Delicious cheese and smoked meat are made here.
Even on the way to the top, we watched the flights of paroplaners. We were at their start
That's just the last kilometers to the top were difficult and scary. The Jeep was hovering over the abyss. Shocked us by the order.
At first, the road is paved, you drive like a walk. But..... Then..... Exclusively on a 4*4 jeep and most importantly someone else's 😅
But all this is worth it to enjoy the beauty and views that open from the top of this mountain

It's just super! The views at the top are gorgeous! We were lucky, we were alone. Nobody!
We left after lunch, around one o'clock. After turning off the main highway, we drove uphill along a 25 km serpentine (Skoda Yeti car) on the so-called asphalt. In some places the road is good, in some places there is practically no road.In one place, almost the whole road was covered with boulders. Only the passage for one car was cleared. There is a sinkhole in the road in another place. But there are a lot of blackberries along the road!Jeeps were flying at breakneck speed to the meeting. After 25 km, the asphalt ended. The result is that you can drive! We stopped and left the car in a clearing. There are already jeeps and horses waiting for you to offer their lifting services. But we're on foot. If you have the strength and time, I advise you to go this way only. To the top (there is a flag) 5 km. We (not very athletic) overcame them in an hour and a half. 2.5 km the road goes through the forest on a rocky road (there are no signs - this is bad. We were guided only by the tracks of cars). There are very steep and protracted climbs. Sometimes it's a little hard. It's not hot in here.There are puddles of mud, but you can get around it.Then the forest ended and the mountain meadows began with a winding, also with a rocky path. Another kilometer. The sun is already shining here. It's getting hot. The sea is already visible. The view is beautiful. There are some houses right there and again smart young people offer a horse to the top. Like walking another 3 km. And in fact there are only 1.5 km left. So, don't get fooled by the suggestions, but go through everything yourself. When you reach the top on foot, you will feel the beauty of climbing. At the top, we enjoyed the views, made a stop, and had a snack.
It was easier to go back down, but not in rainy weather. Consider this. We were at the car at about 6.30 pm. We were descending in the clouds and it was already getting dark. On the way there is an observation deck at Gagra.
There are a lot of people at the top in the afternoon before lunch. So, when and how to go, decide for yourself.
Magnificent views ...
Charming nature ...
You can get by car to a certain place and from there it will take 3 hours on foot along the mountain trails.
Or by jeeping; 30 min.
Or on horseback.

just a flying tour. riding a UAZ on incredible roads, beautiful views and air at the top. I really liked it. on the way, they were treated to a free wine, and on top in the hut there was a simple but sincere lunch. I really liked everything
The places are certainly beautiful here, and the air is fresh, light, clouds that you can touch) but the road is certainly dangerous, we drove our car and just didn't get there a little, it's worth visiting this place once, if possible, to get to the end)
Words cannot convey the feeling. It is necessary to visit there. When you sit on the edge of a precipice, you look into the distance and there is silence all around. I definitely advise everyone to visit
It's a very beautiful place. I recommend everyone to visit this place.
The road is certainly not easy, but local drivers can easily cope with it.
You can sit for hours and enjoy the silence without people
Along the way, you will be taken to see how paragliding is done. It is also very impressive
An interesting peak with rich views of the coast. Consider the time of year to visit. A car tour may not be available due to snow on the road. On 05/19/2024, there were three snow piles on the way to the top.
The place is definitely recommended to visit!
If you take an excursion, you will be taken almost to the very peak of the mountain. The last km of the road, the most terrible ones, are always up on large boulders.
We drove our car (land cruiser) and reached the sign: Mount Mamzyshkha 500m. They walked from him. Xs who wrote that there are 500 meters, from there to the mountain itself (the highest point) 4km and always uphill!
But part of the road goes through the forest, and part of the road is a gentle rise, the 10-year-old child coped.
In my opinion, if you have already started climbing, then it makes sense to go all the way to the top. To see all the beauty.
Almost at the very top there are locals, there are "cafes" selling kebabs, meat, cheeses, goat's milk. Kebab 400₽, milk 1L 500₽.
You can ride a horse up the price from 1000-1500₽.
A place of power! It's amazing that there are so few people, it's rare where it's so deserted in the season. A trip to Mamdyshka is a whole adventure! We reached the end of the asphalt (badly broken in places, there is even a section with a sinkhole), tried to go further along the rocky dirt road, but decided to regret the car (Volkswagen Tiguan), go only on something higher like a field or jeep, which carry tourists. And that's it! In some places on the dirt road there are angles of arrival at 45 degrees and dirt and boulders and puddles the size of a lake, it is dangerous to drive without an experienced driver and a high four-wheel drive car. Jeeps take you almost to the top of the mountain, but they almost do not give you time to enjoy the beauty, but there is something to enjoy. No wonder we walked from the end of the asphalt, it's about 5 km. Our way up took an hour and a half at a sooooo measured pace, with breaks for admiring and photographing, with a visit to the neighboring hilltops along the way. It was much faster to go down, and from the booths we were taken to the car on horseback for 1000 rubles per person. What an adventure, by the way. If I had known that it would be so scary to ride a horse down the steep slopes of the trail, it would have been better to walk, to be honest🙈 In general, the trail is not difficult, it is difficult in the forest in the sections up, in the Alpine meadows it is generally comfortable👍🏻 A cool breeze, the aromas of herbs, occasionally jeeps drive by. They also offer to ride horses from the booths (this is already in the meadows) to the top and back for 1,500 per person, but we never regretted that we went the last 2 km on foot😍 there is no time to enjoy the views on horseback at all. Is it worth going? I think the photos will speak for themselves⛰️🏞️☁️ we left Gagra at about 11, returned at about 18.00. One of the best days in Abkhazia!!!
The mountain is, of course, a separate art form. We are very glad that we went there in our car. Kia Sorento 2006. We reached the top. The local guides were extremely surprised. Since they don't drive there except for UAZ. But I will say right away the adventure is something else. Of course, it's better to regret the car and not drive over those boulders that are waiting there on the way. You can get to the first observation deck and, in principle, to the second one by sedan. Leave it there and then for 3000 rubles you will be taken to the booths. Unless, of course, there will be uazs on the observation deck.
I advise you to visit. The views are certainly stunning.
Magnificent view. We went up with an unprepared child of 7 years. The ascent is comfortable. Who doubts - do not doubt. Mamzyshkha is a great option to try yourself in mountain travel. Take a thermos and sandwiches with you when you go up - have fun at the top, enjoying the view and eating tea sandwiches!
The place is super!!!!! The view from the mountain is gorgeous! The road certainly let you down! There were a couple of places where the car passed within millimeters of the mountain and the cliff. The first observation deck is beautiful and well maintained, but the second one... It is in a very neglected state, it has not been repaired since the Soviet era.
Very beautiful. The path is not difficult, with a child of 9 years old, we reached the parking lot in 50 minutes. We arrived early in the morning so it wouldn 't be so hot .
We walked 4km up the mountain, but it's worth it.
Smoked cheese and meat were also taken there on the mountain
I recommend.
The prices are good.
Views from the mountain - 🔥
Oh, I don't even know where to start...we went there on foot, but initially we got there as far as possible by car and I can say it was worth it! We rented horses at the top and have already reached our destination. What a view, what beauty has opened up before our eyes-it's just beyond words. I definitely recommend it!!!
It's worth a trip to look at the clouds from above.
An asphalt road leads up the mountain, except for the last 2..3 km. You can drive a car on the asphalt. The last kilometers can only be driven by an off-road vehicle of the UAZ type.
The adventure turned out to be incredible!
Everything happened at once.
On the way to Mamzyshkha Mountain, we were greeted by spring and blooming mimosa groves, just in time for March 8.
At an altitude of 1200, we abandon the cars and transfer to snowmobiles and snowmobiles. Another hour's journey along the snow-covered serpentine with magnificent views of the Black Sea.
At 1550 we were greeted by a warm house with a sauna, where we had a snack, changed clothes and drove to the top of Mamzyshkh.
Smooth snow-covered sinkholes are not just beautiful, but fascinatingly attractive. Riding and walking there in winter turned out to be an incredible experience. It came to an understanding of how such huge caves were formed. The snow on the peaks melts into giant funnels and goes all the way to the foot, washing out the rock from the mountains. Look at the Mamzysh from space, it will become clear.
And of course the booths, I've heard about them many times and couldn't imagine what it was. Some photos show the roofs of small houses in which any traveler can hide from the weather, they are open in winter. In the summer, when the snow comes down and the mountains are covered with various grasses, local residents settle in the booths with their herds of cows, goats, sheep, and horses.
Be sure to visit! Only the road there is extreme. For those who want to yell in a jeep-convertible or UAZ, too, without a roof and who rushes along a mountain road, which is a direction rather than a road, especially the last 5 km. Then you must go there! On top of the views, goats, cows and apache local delicious cuisine and very friendly hostesses!!
To rise above the clouds is just about Mamzyshu! The views are amazing! We were in July, in the morning, while there are no people, super! About 25 km of asphalt, even if not solid, then a rocky road, it's scary, but you can drive an SUV, and the last 3 km is probably on foot (500m climb over rocks and a forest path, the rest through alpine meadows).
Awesome sensations from walking to the top are guaranteed to you!!! the most important thing is to have time to get there before the road has completely failed from landslides =))) and so, I recommend that you definitely take a thermos and something edible in order to celebrate the success of the climb!!!
