Ingushetia (Russian: Ингушетия) is a republic in Russia, located in the North Caucasus. It was established in 1992. Population: approximately 482,000.

Despite bordering three densely populated regions and Georgia, getting into this republic can be quite difficult. It is recommended to make contact with someone in advance, for example via youth forums, as there are many open-minded young people in Ingushetia interested in meeting visitors from Russia.

Hitchhiking in and out

Ingushetia is so compact that it can be considered as one big city in terms of transport connections.

Air transport

The Magas airport, located between Troitskaya and Slepstovskaya in Sunzhensky district, serves both Chechnya and Ingushetia. Due to its monopoly in the region and the limited number of flights, tickets are expensive and flights are inconvenient for travel purposes. It is generally better to use Beslan airport, which is 2 km from the Ingush village of Kantyshevo and offers cheaper tickets and more flights.

Public road transport

The republic can be entered by three main roads:

  • From Mozdok (3 buses per day to Malgobek)
  • From Beslan via the M-29 (several buses from Vladikavkaz and Nalchik) (Note: this way is effectively blocked at Nazran and all traffic goes via a new road joining the Kantyshevo-Nazran route at the Ingush border)
  • From Chechnya on the M-29 (buses from Grozny, Khasavyurt, and Makhachkala)

By private car

It is still possible to enter Ingushetia via the Terek - Malgobek road. The roads Vladikavkaz - Chermen - Magas and Goragorsky - Malgobek are closed to car traffic.

Never cross the Ossetia - Ingushetia border on foot – you risk being shot by either federal or police units on both sides! In general, beware of federal forces – they are the source of most problems.

Rail transport

To Nazran by train: Moscow – Nazran runs once every four days, and a daily passenger train runs from Mineralnye Vody – Slepstovskaya. The second option is preferable, as you do not cross the Ossetian-Ingush border. Alternatively, you can reach Beslan (where several long-distance trains from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Adler arrive, and an electric train from Mineralnye Vody) and try to reach Nazran from the Beslan roundabout.

Roads

Within Ingushetia, there are three main roads:

  • R217 "Kavkaz" – crosses the entire republic from east to west. Traffic is excellent, as the road runs along populated areas for almost its entire length. Every 5–10 minutes, there is a minibus from Nazran to Slepstovskaya.
  • Slepstovskaya – Alkun – a beautiful mountain road leading to the upper reaches of the Assa River. Traffic is very sparse and the area can be dangerous from a security standpoint. A bus runs to Nizhniy Alkun three times a day from Nazran and Slepstovskaya.
  • Nazran – Malgobek – crosses the Sunzha Ridge via the Kantyshevskaya roundabout to Achaluki, Zyazikov-Yurt, Malgobek. This route leads to the fertile Alkhan-Churt valley. Traffic is fairly heavy, with regular buses or minibuses between Nazran and Malgobek.

Nature Reserve

  • "Erzi" Nature Reserve – 386101 Republic of Ingushetia, Nazran, Naberezhnaya St., 6. Tel/Fax: (873-22) 2-10-39, 2-15-35, 2-94-39
