Kuthamanga ndi imodzi mwa maulendo otchuka kwambiri oyendayenda. Pambuyo pake, phiri la Kilimanjaro ndi ulendo wopita ku Everest Base Camp ndizolemba mndandanda wa ndowa kwa anthu ambiri. Koma msewu watsopano wautali umene ukupangidwira ndi kumangidwa ku Eastern Europe ukulonjeza kuti udzabweretsa vuto latsopano kwa iwo omwe akhalapo kale ndikuchita zimenezo.
Njira yotchedwa Transcaucuses Trail (TCT) imatha mtunda wa makilomita 1500 kudzera m'mapiri a Caucuses, omwe amakhala malire ndi Russia ndi Georgia, Armenia, ndi Azerbaijan.
Njirayo imayambira ku Black Sea kumadzulo ndipo imatha kumphepete mwa nyanja ya Caspian kummawa. Ali panjira, njirayo imadutsa pamthunzi wa mapiri okwera ndi chipale chofewa, mkati ndi kunja kwa nkhalango zamkuntho, kudutsa m'midzi yakale, kudutsa madera ndi zigwa zakuya, kukumana ndi mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya zachilengedwe.
Chabwino, zingatheke kuchita zonsezi zikadzatha. Pakalipano, ndi lingaliro lomwe pang'onopang'ono likuchitika chifukwa cha gulu la antchito odzipereka ndi odzipereka omwe akhala akuyenda pang'onopang'ono njirayo, akufufuza magawo ake osiyanasiyana, ndikuthandizira mapu ena kuti ayende. Anthu omwewa amamanganso njira yomwe amapita ndikuika zizindikiro kuti zikhale zosavuta kutsatira, ndikuyembekeza kuti pochita zimenezi njirayo idzakopera alendo ambiri kudera lanu.
Chotseguka kwa Trekkers
Pakalipano, zigawo zina chabe za njira yomwe imatsegulidwa mokwanira kwa azinthu, ndipo zigawo zambiri zidakali zofufuzidwa ndikumasulidwa kwa ena.
Imeneyi ndi ntchito yayitali, yomwe ikuyembekezeredwa kuti idzathe zaka zisanu, komabe ikadzatsegulira imalonjeza kuti idzayendayenda kudera lamapiri, mbiri, ndi chikhalidwe.
Chigawo chimodzi chotere ndi dera lakumtunda wa Svaneti. Malo awa a UNESCO World Heritage Site amadziŵika bwino chifukwa cha malingaliro ake odabwitsa a mapiri a Caucuses koma midzi yake yochuluka yomwe idakali ndi zitsanzo zodabwitsa za zomangamanga zakale.
Nyumbayi imakhala ndi nyumba 200 zokhala ndi nsanja zomwe kale zidagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati malo okhala ndi malo otchinjiriza kumenyana ndi adani. Maofesiwa ndi osungidwa bwino komanso otetezedwa kuti ziwonekere kuti mibadwo yotsatira idzawawonenso.
Njira yambiri yapamwamba ya TCT yotsatira njira zakale za Soviet Union, zomwe zambiri zakhala zikuwonjezeka. Zolemba zam'mbuyomu zapitazo zakhala zikupita kumalo ano, ndipo mapu a dera amatha kukhala osinthasintha ndi osakhalitsa. Koma, gulu lodzipereka lomwe likugwira ntchito pakukhazikitsa njirayi ndi pang'onopang'ono koma mobwerezabwereza. Iwo akufufuza nthawi zonse malowa kuti abwerenso misewu yomwe analipo kale, komanso kukhazikitsa zatsopano.
Koma, sizinthu zokhazo zomwe gulu likukumana nazo. M'nkhani yatsopano ya National Geographic yomwe ikuwonetsa zoyesayesa zowakhazikitsira njira yotchedwa Transcaucuses Trail, gululi likunena kuti palinso chidwi chochuluka kuchokera ku maboma am'deralo. Ambiri samasamala za njira yatsopano yolowera maulendo omwe akukhazikitsidwa kumbuyo kwawo, ndipo ena amatsutsana ndi lingalirolo, ngakhale zitanthauza ndalama zowona alendo. Komabe, otsogolera a TCT akupitirizabe kutsogolo ndi zolinga zawo, ndipo pang'onopang'ono komabe akuthandizira mfundoyi.
Komabe, akukonzekera kumaliza kumanga njirayo pasanathe zaka zisanu akhoza kukhala ndi chiyembekezo.
Zotsatira za Trail
Pamene izo zikutsegulidwa, komabe, alendo alandiridwa ndi anthu okhala mmudzi omwe akufunitsitsa kuti oyendayenda abwere ku ngodya yawo ya dziko. Kulandira alendo ku Eastern Europe kudzakhala bwino, ndi malo osungiramo alendo odyera, malo odyera odyera, ndi masitolo apadera omwe akuwatsutsa. Ichi ndi gawo la dziko lomwe lakhala ndi mwayi wochepa wa zachuma m'zaka zaposachedwa, ndipo ulendo wautali waulendo wapatali ukhoza kukhala kusintha kwakukulu kwa midzi ingapo yomwe ikugwa pa njira yake.
Pakali pano, mazana angapo makilomita a msewu ali otseguka ndipo oyendayenda ayamba kale kufika. Zigawo zambiri za njirayi zikutsegulidwa nthawi zonse, ndipo maulendo akutalika nthawi zonse.
Zonse zikadzanenedwa ndikuchitidwa, TCT idzayendayenda kudera la 17 lapadera, ndipo zilankhulo zopitirira khumi ndi ziwiri zikulankhulidwa m'litali mwake. Idzaperekanso malo ambiri (mapiri asanu ndi awiri pamwamba pa mamita 5000), zodabwitsa za chikhalidwe, ndi mwayi wokaona malo omwe mbiri yakale inasiya.
