Storms in Sahara frequently possess extraordinary force. Speed of a wind reaches, in opinion of some researchers, 50 m a second and more. The case when during a storm the camel saddles has rejected on two hundred meters is known, Happens, that about an egg the wind moves stones in size, not lifting them from the ground.
Knowledge of a mode of winds very important for travel across Sahara. Once in February in erg Shegi the storm within nine days held one traveler under a rock. Experts on Sahara have calculated, that in desert on the average from hundred days only six happen windless. Unfortunately, still it is poorly known about occurrence and laws of movement of winds in desert.
Hot winds in the north of Sahara are destructive. They come from the center of desert and in some hours can destroy a crop. These winds blow in the beginning of summer more often and refer to «сирокко», in their Morocco name « Shegi », in the Algerian Sahara - «Shehilly», in Libya - «Gebly», in Egypt - “samoom” or «Hamsin». They not only move sand and a dust, but also heap up mountains of a fine pebble.
Sometimes for short time there are tornados. These are the rotating air streams which are taking the form of pipes. They arise in the afternoon due to heating the burnt ground and become visible owing to a lifted dust. Fortunately, these «sandy devils», dancing as if phantoms in a fog, only occasionally damage. Sometimes sandy pipes come off the ground, continuing the life in high layers of an atmosphere. Pilots met dust tornados at height of 1500 m.

Fishing
In mountain small rivers - expanse for fishermen: there well pecks a trout, a pike, a carp, bream - all you will not list. Besides local residents give to fishermen excellent conditions for residing. Unforgettable there are evenings and the nights lead at a fire, for fish-soup, listening fishing fairy-tales.
Hunting

In larger hunting facilities for fans special hunting lodges are given. The hunting season opens in the middle of August and proceeds till the January, the peak of hunting is necessary for October. Especially intensive hunting is conducted on wild boars and deers. Any hunter does not come back without extraction. By itself, for fishing and hunting it is required to receive the license in the State wood management.
Other kinds of rest

There are such little-used places where at times it is possible to find even semiprecious stones - amethyst, a jasper, agate, chalcedony.
The international youth centers

The most various sports actions on the nature are offered with center Primorsko at bottom of mountains Strandzha at the Black Sea coast.

The Bulgarian mountains and foothills draw to themselves both young, and elderly, both fans, and professionals. Here come all - and those who searches adventures, and those who wishes to have a rest soul and a body.

Excursion campaigns
One-week and fortnight excursion campaigns across Bulgaria became especially popular. During such campaigns it is possible is better познать the Bulgarian daily occurrence and customs of people, to get acquainted with local residents who always warmly meet strangers. Whether travel such on foot or on a horse are always fascinating.
Travel on a horse
If you the skilled equestrian to you can offer one-week or fortnight excursions on a horse. Roads of such excursions conduct across the Balkans, in Троян, on a valley of Danube, on a valley of the river Rosetsa. Travelling on a horse on mountain footpaths of Rila Planina or It is old Planina, you simultaneously enjoy the nature inhale cool mountain air and get acquainted with history of the country.
Navigation on rafts, a canoe and kayaks
Where still it is possible to have a rest is better, than during navigations on rafts? In the spring, high-mountainous snows only will thaw, fans of this kind of sports go on the rivers Struma, Arda and Osym. Special pleasure delivers navigation on rafts on the rough river Stakevska on mountain Vratsa. Danube - a wonderful place for navigation on a canoe and kayaks.
Mountain excursions on a motorcycle and a bicycle
Recently there was a new hobby - to travel about on a bicycle on mountains Rhodope. Not only young men, but the whole families more increasing and take a great interest in bicycle excursions on special routes more. For the bicyclists, wishing to be closer to the nature and at the same time to communicate with local residents, there is nothing better, than the Black Sea coast. There every day it is possible to see something new and interesting.

1.      Russian do not speak English.
2.      Russian do not travel one by one - only the organized groups (since Soviet times was held in remembrance).
3.      Russian love a cold (because the country at them cold). Here also come to India for a short while!
4.      Russian drink much.
5.      Russian - not so rich people (well, not such rich, as Englishmen). But generous!
6.      Russian buy all - in plenty! And not bargaining! Because time has not enough, and money « on such » it is not a pity!
7.      It is necessary to tell it in Russian magic words «privetkakdila» and «zakhadipasmatri» - instant will sweep away a half-bench!
8.      Russian are easily conducted on any “divorces” for tourists. Because do not read horror stories in English-speaking guidebooks and have no sufficient experience in trips.
9.      Russian like to play on drums (a phrase « buy a drum! » Know and sellers in all “tourist” places of India) like to repeat.
10.      Russian - unpredictable, reckless people, quick-tempered and easily appeased. From them it is possible to wait for everything. With them it is interesting!

Many Russians go to India simply because it fashionably. All of them routes are approximately identical: or « the Gold Triangle » (Delhi - Agra - Jaipur), or up to Goa and back. And all of them histories are similar, as некрашеные nested dolls: we have arrived, the horror-horror means, there, and there, and have then gone to Goa, and there cool-cool, and here that we there have bought, and now let’s a photo look. In photos it is obligatory to eat cows, monkeys, bearded muzhiks in orange cloths, women in sari and artly issued urns with inscription USE ME.
It is not necessary to think, that модничанье it is typical only for Russian. On command of a fashion to India go both Englishmen, and Germans, both the Frenchmen, and Israelis, but the difference all is. The western dandies are inclined to plan in good time the routes, to collect the information, to be reserved by guidebooks and medicines, and at last, they are able to speak English (and in India this language of the second state, local residents well understand it). Russian often go “at random”, not having taken with itself even a card of India, and with English at them thus is worse, than badly. Approximately as the Tver merchant Athanasius Nikitin travelled in due time, and in it there is any charm. In fact at such approach even banal excursion in Tadzh-Mahal the usual trip by train from Delhi to Goa - in « circulation for three seas » which then it is possible to recollect all life turns to the Adventure from the big letter, and.

It can seem paradox: someone goes to India behind adventures, and someone - behind silence and rest. Actually the paradox here is not present - India is great and various. In the north +10 °C, and in the south +30 °C; on Delhi streets dirty cows wander, and under streets fly by silent trains of the supermodern underground. Everyone can find here that is necessary for it, it is necessary only the nobility where to search. And, certainly, it is necessary to be able to bargain.
Michael, the architect from Chelyabinsk, excellently knows where what to search in India and that here than. It in this country not first time and not the first year; in native city it is known under a nickname the Hindu. Michael visits Russia for a short while and only when there are problems with the visa or with money. It spends summer in the north of India, winters in the south - in the same way, as the majority hindu sunyasi (the wanderers looking enlightenments). In gifts stops seldom - prefers to remove rooms at owners of houses, because so more cheaply and more easy. To live on $5 in day considers as excessive luxury. In the past to year it has brought the young wife to India and now sometimes lives together with it, and sometimes they will leave and travel separately. From time to time Michael does any architectural project or it is arranged with the construction superintendent on construction, but for a short while, it in fact not behind it has arrived to India.
$5 is 200 indian rupees. For this money it is possible to buy 40 flat cakes chapati, either fifty bananas, or 20 packages of vermicelli Wai Wai, either a half a kilogram of drawn butter, or five gram of hashish. For 200 rupees it is possible to live one day in very decent double room with all convenience, or two-rub days in not so decent single room with partial convenience, or to pass 150-200 kilometers by the local bus (absolutely without convenience) or to drink half-litre of local rum. Simple calculation shows, that if to not drink some rum, in India, really, it is possible to live cheaply and easy.
Simeon, the commodity researcher from Perm, - the person taking a great interest. It happened to it to take a great interest both alcohol, and stimulators, and gamblings Earlier, and now it has taken a great interest in the Himalayas. Together with the wife and the 8-years daughter it has lodged in a mountain small village which foreign tourists have only just started to master. The family rents half of three-tier house with all convenience, they have everything, that is necessary (including the Internet), the girl goes to local school, in English speaks already better then parents. In the neighborhood there lives the owner of the house, 60-years Ramesh which in a youth too took a great interest than has got, but by an old age has become staid and finally married on local поселянке. Ramesha’s Son - coeval Semenov’s  daughter, after school usually spends time at Simeon so at it now as though two children, plus still a facilities and the Internet - in the general, to miss is no time. Simeon speaks About itself, that at last has started to live humanly. Disturb it only two questions: How to prolong the visa in it to year and where to take money for continuation of rest. But also that, and another, basically, is solved.

Charm semi-Asian – semi-European the megacity cannot be explained charm to the one whom it “does not take away” at once. As well as Istanbul, as well as Moscow, Katmandu amazes with mad mixture of styles and any unexpressed, but meant confidence that it, Katmandu, - most that on is the center of the world, a center of the universe. The top of mountain Sumeru on which it is possible to sit centuries, keeping originally Buddhist calmness and to spit, examining passing by caravans of wanderers. And caravans meanwhile everyone go and go.
WHEN AND HOW?
The Best time for visit - in the spring and in the autumn. In the summer continuous rains transform roadways of old city into dirty medley. There is a risk seriously in the winter to freeze - temperature at night falls up to zero, and the habitation is not heated, except for unless most dear hotels.

CROSSROADS OF THE WORLD
During centuries of Katmandu was the important reloading point on a trading way from India to Tibet and China.
In 70th years of the last century of Katmandu “have anew opened” hippie, and the stream of travelers of the most different interests - from subjugators of the Himalayas coming to Katmandu to have a rest and to try viands  at the best restaurants of Asia, up to practicing in meditation and east struggle since then does not become scanty; from young fans of a trance, up to the old men remembering times when Katmandu was nice for the market of hashish largest in region, opium and other “herbs”.
If mentally to clean from streets Katmandu of its aboriginals and to leave only visitors most of all this colorful party will remind… Amsterdam crowd. Here it is impossible to look so original to surprise.
WHAT TO LOOK
Durbar-square. The central area of the Katmandu which have been built up by pagodas and mortars. The former palace of a royal dynasty There and then settles down.
SHivaist temple complex Pashupatinat. The sacred river Bagmati There proceeds, on ghats which cremate died. Inside of temples of foreigners do not start up, but park - a wonderful place for walks and reflections.
Patan. Was there is separate city, Patan for a long time has joined a megacity. The residence reminds of former greatness Patan the kings, not conceding Katmandu. In royal apartments the best is exposed in the country a collection of a nepalese bronze and stone sculpture. Patan - the purest and well-groomed part of Katmandu, an alive museum open-air.
The Garden of dreams. Park in the British style, recondite behind high walls in the heart of city where exotic flowers grow, on trees hang plates with Lao-Czy’s and Voliter’s sayings, beat fountains and there is a surprising statue of Indian goddess Lakshmi - in the form of Venus.
THE ANCIENT GODS, NEW PROSPECTUSES
After Delhi and other large cities of India Katmandu captivates the western lustre. Here is both wide prospectuses, and fashionable boutiques, and canteen where for «the Asian money» to you will submit the European lasagna. But in shocking affinity from these islet the West - close, as an ant hill, quarters of old city with infinite labyrinthes of double-exit courtyards.
Local residents are deprived a piety to an antiquity because it is too much it. “Exhibits” which the Europe in any country would be with honors forward in a museum, in Katmandu intered under a layer of essential affairs and cares. An eight-hundred-year-old statue of the Buddha, on a belt left in the ground, hardly distinguished among colourful disorders of the fruit market, and in of five hundred “historical” small houses with carved rafters indifferently live and simple Nepalese’s dry linen. In Katmandu do not know, that such « monuments of architecture », and with delightful naivete cover ancient temples communistic propaganda and advertising of football clubs. Similar, Inhabitants of Katmandu are too rich with the present to appreciate the past, and too honour the gods that them to protect.

« Why India? » - a sacramental question which continually it is necessary to answer the travellers who have come back therefrom, or only there gathering, or once again prolonging the Indian visa.
And here answers which continually should be heard from such travellers:
«BECAUSE it is DREAM of ALL my LIFE!»
For many Russian travel to India begins how they sit down in the plane. Roerich’s pictures, novels Ефремова and Парнова, fairy tales Киплинга, агни-yoga, хатха-yoga, the Kama Sutra, an Ayurveda, and recently Krishnaism and tantrism. Well and at last, the Indian films which till now do not lie too long on counters. When you learn, that one your salary will suffice on flying there and back and to spend in the country of your favourite fairy tales the whole month, to resist to temptation it is simply impossible.
In the budget of travel to India the lion’s share is made with cost of air tickets. The visa costs $40, month of a life - without excesses, but also without ascetism - $400, but air carriers can request for the services $600-800, and even it is more than thousand. It does not mean, that cheap tickets to India do not exist, it means, that it is necessary to be able to search for them. Look narrowly more closely at offers of the Uzbek, Kazakh and Turkish airlines, be not afraid to fly with changes - such budgetary variant is ideal for students
« BECAUSE I LOVE ADVENTURES! »
The trip to India is an opportunity to feel (and also to smell and taste!) a reality which essentially differs from us known.
The trip to India is an opportunity to feel (and as to smell and taste!) a reality which essentially differs from us known. India - where apple juice is more dear mango. India - where marriages till now consist parents at the minimal participation of the groom and the bride. India - where is not present punks, but « the sacred person » without ceremony can enter into the bus in an orange loose overall with Shiva a trident. India - where impression and adventures wait for you continually.
Dmitry and Alain, hereditary muscovites, have handed over the apartment and already the third year travel about across India and its vicinities on motorcycle Royal Einfield. They have travelled the Himalayas, rose in Ladakh (5000 meters above sea level), crossed Thar desert, have got into Mizoram and Sikkim (a vicinity of a mythical Shambhala), not time happened in jungle of the Central India (where till now marvel to white people and strive to feel them), have swept across Nepal (at the height of Maoist revolutions) and even have risked to travel across Pakistan (and were convinced, that anything there terrible is not present). Their Hard disk portable is loaded gigabytes exotic photos which for a long time already should be disassembled, but somehow hands do not reach - probably, somehow then when adventures will end.
To travel across India on a motorcycle - employment not for nervous. Movement here noisy, chaotic and link sided, and rules of traffic at each driver the. For want of habit and ten kilometers to drive - already an adventure. However, in the price attitude the motorcycle is quite accessible: to buy second-hand it is possible for $600-800, and to rent per day - for $5-10. At rent for long term it is possible to manage to get essential discounts
