Join us on this 6-day trek from Mestia to Ushguli. Traverse some of the most beautiful parts of the Svaneti region, known for its stunning, mountainous landscapes and villages older than anyone can remember, with their medieval towers and houses dating back to centuries.

Start your journey with a drive from Tbilisi to Mestia. See the massive Enguri Dam, one of the highest arch dams in the world, en route. Visit the Svaneti Museum of History and Ethnography in Mestia. Explore this highland townlet with narrow streets and life frozen in time.

Trek through the wilderness of the Greater Caucasus to reach Adishi on the third day of the trip. A village in the middle of an alpine meadow surrounded by mountains, Adishi gets its name from the river nearby. Reach Ushguli, the highest permanent settlement in Europe, on the fifth day of the trip. We will drive you back to Tbilisi on the last day of the trip.

Hike day after day through flower-strewn alpine meadows and over alpine passes while enjoying great mountain views, including that of Shkhara (5152m), one of the highest mountains in Caucasus. Stay overnight in local guesthouses in remote villages. Admire the quaint medieval architecture and simple life of the people living in villages along the route.
