Travel Programme

Overview

This twelve-day trekking in Georgia starts in Kazbegi and leads to Tusheti via a total of three breathtaking mountain regions. This journey shows the beauty of the Georgian mountains and the unspoilt nature of the Caucasus in all its glory.

This route is designed for experienced hikers who enjoy camping outdoors and want to embark on an adventure outside their comfort zone. You should be able to manage hikes up to an altitude of 3500 metres and be prepared to cross the Azunta Pass. It is possible to hike the route on your own, but we recommend doing it with a local guide.

As there are sections without villages along the route, camping is an integral part of the itinerary. A total of three overnight stays in tents allow us to experience the wild and unspoilt nature of the Greater Caucasus up close.

Thanks to our packhorses, which transport the luggage from accommodation to accommodation, our guests only have to carry a daypack, which makes the trekking holiday in Georgia even more enjoyable.

Our accommodation is located in the villages of the region, where delicious food and a hot shower await us. Here, guests have the opportunity to experience the everyday life of the locals at first hand.

Note: The trip can also be booked as an individual tour with or without a tour guide. You can find tips, preparation and follow-up information for hiking in Georgia on your own here.
