Sildi, Mountain village in Tsumadinsky District, Russia
Sildi is a mountain village in Tsumadinsky District of Dagestan, standing at 1,880 meters (6,170 feet) elevation in the Caucasus Mountains. Steep slopes and rocky peaks surround the settlement in this remote region of Russia.
The village experienced population decline between the 2002 and 2010 censuses, when residents decreased from 263 to 208. This shift reflects migration patterns affecting many mountain communities in the region.
The village is known for its wrestling traditions and has produced several athletes who compete internationally. Families maintain this martial arts practice across generations as part of daily life.
Visitors need mountain-ready vehicles since roads through the Caucasus terrain are steep and winding. Access is easiest during good weather when snow and ice do not block the routes.
Khabib Nurmagomedov was born here and retired from martial arts with an undefeated record of 29 wins. His achievements have brought worldwide recognition to this small settlement and inspired many young fighters.
