Who they are

The Avars of the andalal and qarakh subgroups inhabit the steep mountains of Dagestan, in the northern Caucasus. Known for their deep connection to their ancestral land and the rich communal traditions of their villages, they preserve distinct dialects and centuries-old customs. Their identity is entirely tied to traditional Islam, maintaining close clan ties and remarkable hospitality amid the challenges of the mountainous terrain.
