Adventure & trekking tours in Georgia

Three hours southeast of Tbilisi the green runs out and the ground starts eroding into ridges, gullies and pillars. Vultures live in it. Almost nobody goes.

The Becho valley to the Ushba glacier, over the Guli Pass to Mestia, then the classic route to Ushguli under Shkhara. Six walking days, one rest day, guesthouse beds throughout. Starts and ends in Svaneti.

Take on one of Georgia’s most demanding trekking routes during this six-day Tobavarchkhili Lakes trek across the remote Egrisi Range. Walk approximately 50 kilometres from Mukhuri to Skuri, camp for five nights and cross a 2,900-metre pass surrounded by alpine meadows and glacial lakes. The trek is intended for experienced hikers prepared to carry camping gear and walk for six to eight hours in changeable mountain weather.

Four days on foot through the tower villages of Upper Svaneti, over the Chkhunderi Pass, to Ushguli under the glaciers of Shkhara. Guesthouse beds every night, a guide who grew up here, and one glacial river to get across.

Gergeti Trinity under Kazbek, a 3,338-metre pass to the three coloured lakes, two nights in the fortress villages of Khevsureti, a day on horseback, and the Aragvi to finish. Small groups, guesthouse beds, one properly hard day.

Trail Riding on the Trialeti Ridge, 45 Kilometres from the City

Four days in Georgia's most remote highland region: the Abano Pass, a 3,050-metre ridge above four Tushetian valleys, a glacial lake at 2,850 m, and shepherd camps that have been in the same meadows for centuries. Either day can be ridden instead of walked.

Cross from Khevsureti to Tusheti on a demanding seven-day Atsunta Pass trek through Shatili, Mutso, Ardoti and the remote Pirikiti Valley. Camp in the mountains and climb the 3,431-metre Atsunta Pass before descending through Girevi, Parsma and Chesho to Dartlo. This guided trek is for experienced hikers comfortable with long walking days, steep ascents and several nights without phone coverage.

Two full days in the saddle, roughly 39 kilometres of mountain trail, and three nights in a guesthouse in Upper Omalo. June to October only — for the rest of the year the road is under snow and Tusheti belongs to about forty people.

Seventy kilometres of unpaved road, a pass at 2,826 metres, and a region that empties out completely every winter. Three days, two nights in a Tushetian guesthouse, one 4x4 and a driver who has done this road a hundred times.

Three of Tusheti's four valleys, two nights in a guesthouse in Upper Omalo, and about eight kilometres of walking in total. The vehicle does the work. June to October only — for the other eight months there is no road in.

Join a private two-day Vashlovani jeep tour from Tbilisi and travel deep into Georgia’s wild southeast. Cross Pantishara Gorge, search for gazelles and vultures, admire the panorama from Usakhelo and spend a night beside the Alazani River at remote Mijniskure. Available exclusively for small private groups of up to six guests.
