Travel Programme

Overview

The 7-day Laila climbing is a summit tour in the Rgion Svaneti and is ideal for mountain climbers, who plan to travel in Georgia and are looking for a mountaineering tours. Laila, also known as Lahili, is a wonderful destination for anyone who enjoys hiking in the mountains.

At just over 4,000 metres, it is not only the highest point in the Svaneti range, but also the largest and most impressive glacier massif in the range. It is truly wonderful to see that year after year, more and more people are being inspired by this mountain, not only Georgians but also visitors from all over the world.

The tour lasts for a total of seven days, with two days planned for travel to and from Tbilisi and five days for climbing the mountain. Of course, we have also planned a reserve day for you.

In order to be able to acclimatise properly, we normally recommend that our guests spend three to four days trekking in Svaneti in surrounding mountains before climbing the mountain. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the breathtaking natural surroundings and prepare for the adventure ahead.

We can organise equipment such as ice axes, ropes, harnesses and helmets locally. However, guests are also welcome to bring their own. During the tour, you will be accompanied by Packhorses to the base camp, so you only have to carry a daypack.

Note: Our trips can also be booked as individual trips.

Itinerary

Day 1.Arrival, meeting and transfer to Svaneti

Our Laila Climbing tour starts with a drive to Svaneti Region. As Svaneti is located in the west of Georgia, we like to recommend our guests to fly to Kutaisi instead of Tbilisi (flights to Kutaisi). From Kutaisi, we reach Svaneti in 4-5 hours, while the driving time from Tbilisi takes almost twice as long.

Our first stop is the village of Tskhumari, which is the starting point for the route to the base camp. There we will have a short rest and check our equipment to make sure that everything is in top condition.

Travel time: From Tbilisi about 8 hours, from Kutaisi about 5 hours.

Meals: Breakfast / snack / dinner

Accommodation: Tskhumari / in the guesthouse

Day 2.To the base camp (at 2500 m)

The route to the base camp is one of the most beautiful hiking routes in Svaneti. Deep gorges and picturesque Georgian villages clinging to the mountainsides give today’s tour a very special charm.

In addition, a magnificent photo opportunity awaits you today in the form of the highest mountain in the Caucasus, Mount Elbrus. After crossing a pass, we descend into a gorge that extends right to the foot of the glacier of Mount Laila. Here we set up our tent camp.

Meals: Breakfast / Packed lunch / Dinner

Accommodation: Basic camp / in a tent

 Trustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Giorgi hat uns zu viert zwei Wochen lang auf einer kombinierten Kultur- und Wanderreise durch Georgien und Armenien begleitet. Er hat sich vom ersten Kontakt bis zur Verabschiedung stets freundlich und professionell um alles gekümmert. Wir haben in schönen Hotels gewohnt und sehr gut gegessen. Die Wanderrouten waren konditionell anspruchsvoll, haben uns aber mit tollen Ausblicken in die Landschaft belohnt, inklusive der Sichtung von Steinböcken am Kasbeg. Wer Lust auf die spannenden Reiseländer Georgien und Armenien hat, kann sich bedenkenlos Giorgi anvertrauen.

Perfekte Reise durch Georgien mit Giorgi! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wir haben unsere Georgien-Reise für meine Deutsche Freunden gemeinsam mit Reiseziel Kaukasus geplant und durchgeführt und könnten nicht glücklicher mit unserer Entscheidung sein. Ein ganz großes Dankeschön geht an Giorgi! Er hat unsere Tour (unter anderem nach Mzcheta, Signagi und Tiflis) perfekt organisiert. Dank seiner hervorragenden Fachkenntnisse, seiner warmherzigen Art und den vielen spannenden Einblicken in die georgische Kultur und Geschichte wurde die Reise zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis. Alles lief reibungslos und super entspannt ab. Wer Georgien individuell, authentisch und bestens betreut erleben möchte, ist hier genau an der richtigen Adresse. Absolute Empfehlung!

 Trustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Wir haben im Juni 2026 eine Rundreise durch Georgien gemacht, im Zuge der Planung sind wir auf Giorgi‘s Kontakt gestoßen. Leider hat terminlich keine gemeinsame Tour geklappt, aber Giorgi hat uns über die gesamte Planung und Reise wertvolle Tips gegeben und Kontakte vermittelt. Wir haben uns auch einmal in seiner Heimatstadt auf Durchreise getroffen und uns über unsere Erfahrungen und weiteren Ziele ausgetauscht. Er ist sehr kompetent, hilfsbereit und spricht sehr gut deutsch. Meine nächste Reise in Georgien wird definitiv eine von ihm angebotene Trekking Tour sein. Bis demnächst!
