About this tour

Join a 4-Day Hiking Tour to Kazbegi and experience the best hiking routes of Georgia’s Greater Caucasus Mountains in one compact adventure.

This guided mountain journey starts in Tbilisi and follows the historic Georgian Military Highway toward Kazbegi.

The tour begins in Tbilisi and follows the famous Georgian Military Highway, one of the most scenic road routes in Georgia. On the way to Kazbegi, you will stop at the turquoise Jinvali Reservoir, explore the medieval Ananuri Fortress, and enjoy high-mountain viewpoints around Gudauri.

The second day takes you to Juta Village, one of Georgia’s highest and most scenic mountain villages. From Juta, you will trek toward the dramatic Chaukhi Mountains, known for their sharp rocky peaks, alpine meadows, and spectacular Caucasus scenery. A picnic near Tina Lake adds a peaceful mountain moment to the route.

On the third day, the adventure continues in Truso Valley, one of the most unique hiking areas in Kazbegi.

This part of the tour gives travelers a more remote and authentic experience of the region.
