Tour to Kazbegi is one of the best-selling short trips in Georgia from Tbilisi. This is one of the most popular Georgia tour packages among tourists from the UAE. Kazbegi tour from Tbilisi – explore mountains within one day trip.

One day Kazbegi trip is an excursion to one of the most picturesque regions of Georgia – Kazbegi, along a famous Georgian military road. The tour takes place in the region Mtskheta-Mtianeti, north of Tbilisi.

The gorgeous Arargvi river gorge, the breathtaking Great Caucasus mountains, and the Cross pass are the main attractions of that one-day tour.

Why Kazbegi is so a popular destination? Mainly because it is the only high mountain region accessible from Tbilisi in one day. If you have limited time in Georgia, and you really wish to see mountains and enjoy wild nature, then this trip is for you.

If you are traveling to Kazbegi in April or May, then you have a good chance to touch snow on the steep slopes of mountains, when in low lands every tree is blossoming. So you will travel from Spring back to Winter and return again to Spring.

A detailed description of Kazbegi tour from Tbilisi attractions

Jinvali Dam and water reservoir.

The Jinvali Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Aragvi River in the Caucasus Mountains. The building of the dam in 1986 formed the Jinvali Reservoir. Artificial Jinvali lake, which also supplies Tbilisi with drinking water, became one of the most loved attractions in the area. Georgians enjoy fishing and spending their hot summer days. Blue-green water in the lake creates a stunning landscape in combination with forest-covered mountains around.

Ananuri fortress

Our private tour to Kazbegi goes on to the next point.

Erected in the XVI century to dominate on Aragvi river and a major trade road to the North Caucasus, Ananuti castle still stays proudly above the Jinvali water reservoir. The complex is surrounded by massive walls.

The upper fortification with a large square tower, known as Sheupovari, is well preserved and is the location of the last defense of the Aragvi against the Shanshe. The lower fortification, with a round tower, is mostly in ruins.

Within the complex, among other buildings, are two churches.

Gudauri Viewpoint (friendship monument)

There is nothing much to say about the monument itself, it is one more example of Soviet-era mosaiс. But views from there, deep down Aragvi gorge and the Great Caucasus mountains around are really stunning.

Cross pass

The highest point of our Journey during Kazbegi tour is the Cross pass. Its altitude is 2395m above sea level. Now we truly are on the top of the Great Caucasus range.

Gergeti Trinity Church

It is a very well-known attraction in the Kazbegi area. Holy Trinity church was erected on mount Gergeti, near the townlet Stephantsminda back in the XIV century. Dominating upon the area and standing in the shade of a gigantic mountain Kazbegi (5047m) was meant to be the northern outpost of Christianity. If you are very lucky with the weather, then behind the iconic church you will be able to see Kazbegi mountain in its glory. Even if the mountain is hiding in clouds, it is still a fantastic view.

Dariali gorge and Gveleti waterfall

The last spot of our fantastic Kazbegi tour is the north gates of Georgia – Dariali gorge. Narrow, from both sides high rocky walls made this place easy to defend. Gveleti waterfall is in a deep gorge and, you need to hike around 2 km. The hiking level is pretty easy. Gveleti is not accessible until the end of May.

Optional sight in Kazbegi tour – Sno valley

Instead of hiking in Gveleti, we can have a short drive to the beautiful village Sno. Near the village, in the mountain valley, you will find mysterious statues. This will be a fine end of the day tour from Tbilisi to Kazbegi .

 

The recommended season for the Kazbegi tour: April to November.

    Thank you Rusudan for the best experience in my life! Me and my husband and daughter booked a tour to Kasbegi with overnight stay, and we LOVED every minute of it!!! Georgian hospitality, wonderful nature, amazing views and tasty food - our trip was very well planned, informative and fun. Also we was lucky to see Kasbegi mount in all its glory, what happends not every day. I would never be able to do such a great trip by myself, so I absolutely will recommend Highlander Travel to all my friends.
