Shopping malls on the way to the monastery. The strange location of the souvenir market... People who aim at spiritual conversion go to the monastery, and on the way they are attacked by sellers. Aggressive marketing is very often used. They bought it from that one, buy it from me! In general, it's strange.
But it's useful to go there, great fitness. Which is what we were doing. By the way, the juice here is 2 times cheaper than at the waterfall. Of course, it's not natural, but it's delicious!
Do not buy anything from the merchants here, they will throw noodles on your ears. all products are a complete toilet designed for lazy tourists. Just chat with them and go up further, everything is beautiful and necessary at the top. They sold me water for 50 rubles, which flows completely free at the top. Do not repeat my mistakes, I will have to walk these steps on my knees :))))
People do not buy anything here, there is deception all around, they bought wine and cognac, firstly, instead of wine there was a mixture of pomegranate juice, and instead of cognac there was also a mixture of alcohol, IN NO CASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING THERE
