About the tour

Tver, as the merchant knew it.

The land of Tver is the wide Volga, quiet villages, merchant mansions and pine forests. This is where Afanasy Nikitin was born — the Tver merchant who, thirty years before Vasco da Gama, reached India and brought back a book that became the first Russian travel diary about that distant land.

We invite you to spend three days walking through his city — on foot, unhurried, with a real guide in the role of the merchant. And in the evening — heading out of town to the Shanti eco-estate, where the same pines, the same quiet and the same river have stood for five centuries.
