1.
Ushguli - the pearl of Georgia

The magical area of Svaneti

Rating:
| Altitude: 2 119 m / 6 952 ft

Ushguli settlement, often referred to as the highest permanently inhabited village in Europe, is located in the historic region of Svaneti on the northwestern border of Georgia. The whole area is protected by the Caucasus Mountains and there is the highest Caucasian peak Šchara (5193 m) and the equally well-known double peak Ušba (4710 m). Some buildings in this village are, as part of Upper Svaneti, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The starting point is the town of Mestie, from where it is a broken forest-field road 45 kilometers, by car about 3 hours. continue reading

3.
Hike to Koruldi Lakes

Koruldi Lakes – a system of a few small lakes that hide in the Georgian mountains above the town of Mestia. Above them rises the majestic mountain Ushba, which together with the surrounding, snow-capped peaks makes this place truly beautiful. Anyone who gets to Mestia should not miss a visit to this beautiful place. The only thing that spoils the local atmosphere, and must bother anyone who walked the entire route, are the passing jeeps of the locals, carrying lazy tourists. But that's the way it is in Georgia. continue reading

Tour of Tbilisi

A city where Europe meets Asia

Tbilisi is the capital of independent Georgia since April 9, 1991. However, its roots go back to the 5th century. The historic Silk Road also led here. We will find contrasting architectural styles, crowded and often chaotic streets, modern buildings, old suburbs, parks and markets. The river Kura flows through the city, which has over 1.3 million inhabitants. continue reading

Tour of Vardzie

Famous Georgian rock town

Rating:
| Altitude: 1 327 m / 4 354 ft

One of the largest Georgian monuments is the rock town of Vardzia, which can be found in the south of the country near the border with Turkey. The starting point for this trip may be the city of Achalciche (ახალციხე), which is easily accessible from Tbilisi. Vardzia is carved into a massive rock wall directly above the river. The journey through the valley and the canyon of the river Kura is worth it. continue reading

Juta is the last place in this direction, which can be reached by car (ideally from Stepantsminda / Kazbegi). This trek is part of a multi-day trek that often runs along state borders, and most people walk the other way around. continue reading
