Nalchik Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
Nalchik is the capital city of Kabardino-Balkaria, a republic located in the very south of the Russian federation. The city comprises some 300'000 inhabitants and can thus be considered - by Russian standards - a small to medium sized town.
Nalchik, like the republic around it, is ethnically mixed. The majority of the population is Kabarda (a sub-group of the Cherkess, also called Circassian people). They speak a dialect of the Adygue language, a Caucasian language with no equivalent elsewhere. Most Kabardas are muslims. Ethnic minorities include Balkars (a turkic speaking muslim population), russian and cosaques (ethnic russian having settled in the Caucasus for generations having thus somehow adapted their ways to the region).
