About This Experience

Two days by 4x4 over the Datvisjvari pass to Khevsureti, on the far side of the main Caucasus ridge. The road runs from Zhinvali through Barisakho; beyond Korsha it is a mountain dirt road that needs a 4x4, and the drive to Shatili takes at least 4–5 hours. You stay the night at a guesthouse in Shatili, a fortress village of stone towers, with dinner and breakfast included. On day two you walk 20–30 minutes up a steep path to restored Mutso, see the stone crypts at Anatori, and drive back to Tbilisi by about 19:00. Late June to September only, when the pass is open. We don't sell this as a one-day trip, which would take about 16 hours.

Kazbegi Overnight with Truso or Juta Valley Hike — 2 Days, Private

Short trip (2–5 days)
Mountains
+1

Two days in the Kazbegi mountains with the night in Stepantsminda, so you see Gergeti Trinity Church in the evening light and still have a full morning for a real walk. Day one follows the Military Highway past Ananuri and the Friendship Monument and over the Jvari Pass (2,379 m). On day two you choose a valley, reached by local 4x4 and walked with a local hiking guide. Truso (May–October) is a mostly flat walk of 2–3 hours to travertine springs and abandoned towers; bring your passport for the free border-zone check. Juta (July–September) is a 3-hour walk with 360–400 m of climbing towards the Chaukhi peaks. A hotel night with breakfast and dinner is included. We never take guests onto the Gergeti glacier, which needs ropes and a mountain guide.

Four spring days in Kazbegi with a specialist local bird guide from SABUKO / Batumi Birding, looking for the Greater Caucasus specialities: Caucasian black grouse displaying at dawn and Caucasian snowcock on the high slopes, plus Güldenstädt's redstart, great rosefinch, wallcreeper and lammergeier. You stay three nights in Stepantsminda. Mornings start before dawn and some slopes are steep and uneven; a 4x4 takes you up tracks that can still hold snow in May. Runs 15 May to 30 June, when the birds are displaying and the passes are open. Minimum two travellers.

Kazbegi Adventure Weekend: Rafting, Hiking & Paragliding — 3 Days, Private

Short trip (2–5 days)
Active & adventure
+1

Three active days on one mountain road north of Tbilisi. Day one: rafting the White Aragvi at Pasanauri with a licensed crew, a stop at Ananuri, and the first paragliding slot at Gudauri if the wind allows. Day two: a guided hike in the Juta valley (July–September) or the Truso valley (May–June and September), reached by local 4x4. Day three: Gergeti Trinity at sunrise and a tandem paragliding flight at Gudauri with a licensed pilot before the drive back. Flights depend on the weather, so there are two slots; if neither flies we refund the flight. We never plan the flight for the day before your international departure. Two nights in Stepantsminda are included. This is soft adventure: no experience needed, but insurance must cover rafting and paragliding.
