Itinerary

Day 1

Tbilisi – Ananuri – Gudauri – Gveleti – Stepantsminda

We depart Tbilisi in the morning and drive north along the famous Georgian Military Road. Along the way, we stop at the medieval Ananuri Fortress and the Gudauri Panorama, offering impressive views of the Greater Caucasus. We then enjoy a short but rewarding hike to the 25-meter Gveleti Waterfall. In the afternoon, we continue to Stepantsminda, check into our guesthouse, and have lunch at a local restaurant. Later, we visit the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church, a 14th-century monastery standing at 2,170 meters above sea level, overlooking the surrounding mountains. Return to the guesthouse. Overnight in Stepantsminda.

Day 2

Stepantsminda – Juta – Stepantsminda

Today we head to the picturesque village of Juta for one of the most scenic hikes in the Kazbegi region. The trail begins with a relatively steep one-kilometer ascent before opening into a beautiful alpine valley beneath the dramatic Chaukhi Massif. Our goal is Tina Lake, located at the foot of the mountains. If time permits, we will also visit a nearby waterfall before returning to Stepantsminda. Overnight in Stepantsminda.

Day 3

Stepantsminda – Truso Valley – Tbilisi

After breakfast, we head to Truso Valley, a spectacular mountain valley known for its colorful travertine formations, mineral springs, and abandoned villages. Starting near Abano Mineral Lake, we hike through the valley, passing remote monasteries before reaching the ruins of Zakagori Fortress, where we enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. In the afternoon, we drive back to Tbilisi, stopping in Pasanauri to taste its famous khinkali. Arrival in Tbilisi in the evening. End of the tour.
