pay a visitto a Lezgi village
The Lezgis say: “What’s the point of a house where smoke doesn’t rise from the chimney, or where a guest doesn’t cross the threshold?” You can discover the ancient and rich culture of the hospitable Lezgi people in the village of Hil, located in the Gusar region. The residents of this village, located in the heart of the mountains, carefully preserve their distinct culture and way of life. One of the most beautiful old traditions is Mel, a type of collective unpaid labour like the subbotnik. After experiencing the fascinating and colourful local customs, listening to traditional melodies, and tasting authentic Lezgi dishes in a village home, you’ll feel less like a guest and more like a local!
