Minbusus (UAZ) or 4×4 jeeps (NIVA LADA, RAV 4) can take you into remote mountain places. If you are travelling in a group of up to 3 people, the NIVA LADA is the vehicle we would recommend. For 4 people the RAV4 is the best option. If the groups is larger than 4 people a UAZ would be appropriate for your trip. Both UAZs and 4×4 Jeeps are in very good condition.
