The tour is best if one considers leaving busy cities and surroundings and escaping the
everyday routine that can be
tiresome. This trip offers one of the most beautiful parts of the country with its alpine
zone and picturesque mountain slopes. Trekking and hiking in these green and deserted
areas give you complete freedom. The central part of the trip is up in the north of Georgia
near the central Caucasus, just 12 kilometers farther from the Russian borderline, where
on every step, you can see shrines and temples on top of hills. Mountains above 4000-
5000 meters, Gorges with fast-flowing rivers, and wild nature with its true beauty.
In these mountain villages, you will get involved in everyday life, learn how to work on
foot, and prepare local mountain dishes—finishing the Kazbegi trekking tour with the
former capital city and religious legacy of Georgia and U.N.E.S.C.O.
