Gunib, village in Russia

Gunib is a village in the Republic of Dagestan in the Caucasus and sits on a high plateau surrounded by mountain terrain. The settlement is small and nestled among steep slopes and natural rock formations.

The village was historically a significant location in the mountain region and played a role in the local conflicts of the 1800s. The area continues to reflect the history of Caucasian mountain peoples and their ties to the broader region.

The village is more suited for experienced hikers who can handle steep paths and changing weather conditions due to its mountain terrain. Visitors should check road access and weather conditions beforehand, as the area is remote and difficult to reach.
