Travel Tips
Currency: Georgian Lari (GEL)—bring sufficient cash as ATMs are limited in this remote mountain region. Language: Georgian is primary, with some Russian among older residents; guesthouses often have English-speaking staff eager to share local knowledge. Safety: Generally very safe, but mountain weather can change rapidly—always check conditions and dress appropriately for high-altitude adventures. Transportation: The scenic 3-hour drive from Tbilisi along the Georgian Military Highway is spectacular, though 4x4 vehicles are recommended for maximum flexibility and access to remote locations.
