I-Trekking yenye yezona ntlobo ezidumileyo zokuhamba nge-adventure. Emva kwakho konke, ukunyuka kweKilimanjaro kunye nokutyelela kwi-Everest Base Camp zizinto zohlu lwamabhakethi kubantu abaninzi. Kodwa umzila omude omde osesikweni okwangoku uhlolwe kwaye wakhiwe eMpuma Yurophu uthembisa ukunikezela umngeni omtsha kulabo sele belapho kwaye benze oko.
Umzila weTranscaucuses (TCT) uqhubeka malunga neekhilomitha ezili-1500 (kwii-1500 km) kwiiNtaba zeCaucuses, ezisebenza njengomda neRashiya ne-Georgia, i-Armenia ne-Azerbaijan.
Indlela iqala kuMlambo Omnyama ngasentshonalanga kwaye iphelela kumanxweme olwandle lwaseCaspian empuma. Endleleni, umzila ubeka phezu kwezithunzi zeentaba ezinqambileyo zeqhwa, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwamahlathi amakhulu, kwiidolophana zamandulo, nakwiindawo ezidlulileyo kunye neendlambo, zidibana noluntu oluhlukeneyo kunye neendlela eziphilayo.
Ewe, ubuncinane uza kwenza zonke ezo zinto xa zigqibile. Okwangoku, ingumzekelo oba yinyaniso ngokubonga iqela labantu abazinikeleyo kunye namavolontiya abaye bahamba ngokukhawuleza kwindlela, bahlalutya amacandelo awo ahlukeneyo, kwaye banceda ukuyibeka imephu kwabanye ukuba bahambe nabo. Abo bantu abanjalo bayakha umzila njengoko behamba bebeka amanqaku omzila ukwenza kube lula ukuyilandela, benethemba lokuba ngokwenza njalo umzila uza kukhwela abantu abaninzi kwiindawo.
Yintoni evulekileyo kubagibeli
Okwangoku, iindawo ezithile zeendlela ezivulekileyo ngokuzenzekelayo kubahamba, kunye namacandelo amaninzi afuneka ahlolwe kwaye ahlulwe kwabanye.
Leyo projekthi ende, ilindelekile ukuba ithathe iminyaka emihlanu ukugqibezela, kodwa xa ivula iqinisekisa ukuba ithatha abantu abahlala kwiindawo eziqhelekileyo, imbali kunye nenkcubeko.
Enye yezo ndawo iindawo eziphezulu zeSvaneti. Indawo yeLifa leLifa leMveli le-UNESCO liyaziwa ngokuba yiyona nje imbono yalo eqaqambileyo yeeNtaba zeCaucuses kodwa ubuninzi bayo beendawo ezisoloko zigcina izibonelo ezintle zokwakha.
Izakhiwo apho ziquka imizi engama-200 yendlela yokuvakasha eyayisetyenziselwa zombini njengeendawo zokuhlala kunye nokuzimela ngokumalunga nemikhosi ehlasela. Ezi zakhiwo zigcinwe kakuhle kwaye zikhuselwe ukuvumela izizukulwana ezizayo ukuba zibabone.
Ininzi yendlela ekhoyo yangoku ye-TCT ilandela iindlela zokudala zaseSoviet, eninzi zazo ziye zagqithiswa. Iimpawu zokuhamba ezidlulileyo zenzeke kakhulu kule ndawo, kwaye iimephu zendawo zihlala ziyi-sketchy kwaye ziphelelwe yisikhathi. Kodwa, iqela elizinikezeleyo elisebenza ekumiseni umzila lihamba ngokukhawuleza kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo lilungisa loo nto. Bahlala behlolisisa loo ndawo ukuba babuyisele imigwaqo eyayikhona, ngelixa ikwazisa ezintsha.
Kodwa, loo nto ayiyona imingeni kuphela iqela elijongene nalo. Kwinqaku lwakutshanje elivela kwi-National Geographic elibonisa imizamo yokuseka iMzila yeTranscaucuses, iqela lithi kukho ukungahloniphi okukhulu koorhulumente basekuhlaleni. Uninzi alukhathaleli ngomzila omtsha wokuhamba ngokusungulwa kwiindawo zabo zangasemva, kwaye ezinye zize zivule ngokucacileyo malunga neengcamango, nangona oko kuthetha ukuthatha iindleko zezorhwebo. Sekunjalo, abaxhasi be-TCT baqhubeka becinezela phambili ngezicwangciso zabo, kwaye ngokukhawuleza kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo bafumana inkxaso ngenkxaso.
Sekunjalo, ziceba ukugqiba ukwakhiwa kwendlela engaphaya kweminyaka emihlanu kunokuba nethemba.
Impembelelo yoMphumo
Nangona ivulekileyo, ke ke, iindwendwe ziya kwamkelwa ngabantu abahlali abafuna ukuhamba nabo kwiindawo zabo zehlabathi. Ukubamkela izibhedlele zaseMpuma Yurophu kuya kubonakaliswa kakuhle, ngeendawo ezincinci zokungenisa iimpahla, ezityeleleyo zokutyela kunye neentengiso eziyingqayizivele konke ukugxininisa ingqalelo yabo. Le nxalenye yeplanethi eye yabona amathuba ambalwa kwezoqoqosho kwiminyaka yamuva nje, kwaye umzila oqhelekileyo wokuhamba umgama kungase kube yinto eguqukayo enkulu kunezinye iidolophana eziwela endleleni yazo.
Okwangoku, iikhilomitha eziliqela leekhilomitha kwindlela evulekile kwaye abagijimi sele beqalile ukufika. Amacandelo amaninzi endlela ayavulelwa lonke ixesha, kunye nemida iya kwandiswa rhoqo.
Xa konke kuthethwe kwaye kwenziwa, i-TCT iya kujikeleza kwiingingqi ezili-17 ezihlukeneyo, kunye neelwimi ezili-12 ezithethiweyo ngokude. Kuza kunika neendawo ezininzi (iindawo ezixhenxe eziphakamileyo ngaphezu kwamamitha ama-5000), amava amasiko amahle, kunye nethuba lokutyelela indawo apho umlando washiya uphawu lwawo olungapheliyo.
