Hi Daisy,
The cost includes the following stuff:
1. Visa support
2. OVIR registration
3. Border zone registration
4. National park fee (US$ 20) - the new registration fee.
5. Meeting, transfer from International airport to hotel
6. Hotel "Izmailovo Alfa" accommodation, twin/single room, without breakfast, 2 nights
7. Transfer from Hotel to Domestic Airport
8. Domestic flight from Moscow to MinVody Airport
9. Meeting at MinVody airport. Transfer "MinVody airport - Terskol" and backwards
10. Accomodation in a mountain lodge, 2 meals a day, shared 2-3 bed rooms. 3 or 4 nights depending on when we make it to the summit of Elbrus.
11. Elbrus region plan/map.
12. Baggage room at the mountain lodge for pieces that you don't want to carry up on the mountain.
13. A local guide for Mt. Elbrus climb (1 night, which means he comes up in the evening, starts climb with us at 2-4 am and returns back to the Valley same day.
14. A local guide for hiking around (1 day, from 8 am to 8 pm) in the case that we make it to the summit on the first attempt. This hike is a good time to go to Mt. Cheget.
15. English and German speaking representative support.
16. Transfer from Domestic Airport in Moscow to Hotel
17. Transfer from Hotel to International Airport
18. Depending on the number of people that sign up there might also be a T-Shirt with a print on from our expedition.
Since I don't run a business like Harry does, I am not interested in "getting" any cash out of this expedition or trip. When we've calculated the costs we've come to the conclusion that the total cost will be somewhere around 775 Euros. Of course this is also subject to change since we might not spend 4 nights in the mountain lodge and thus not hire a local guide for the hike to Mt. Cheget or Mineral Springs. So, any and all cash that don't go to paying stuff will be refunded equally among all participants. Hopefully each and every one of you will trust me enough for that, who knows?
