Itinerary
Adventure into the scenic, mysterious and fascinating lands of Georgia. This 10-day guided group hike traces the second stage of the Transcaucasian Trail, immersing you in the wild beauty and rich traditions of Georgia’s Svaneti region.
Your journey begins in Georgia’s eclectic capital, Tbilisi, where Persian, Ottoman and Soviet influences collide with bold modern design, vibrant cafés and natural wine bars. Enjoy a guided exploration of the city’s historic heart and the comfort of your 4-star hotel, where you’ll return to unwind at the end of the trip.
Head west to explore UNESCO-listed cathedrals, the ancient cave town of Uplistsikhe, and a family-run winery where you’ll enjoy a home-cooked lunch and taste Georgia’s legendary qvevri wines. Walk the dramatic limestone cliffs of Okatse Canyon before heading into the rugged Greater Caucasus Mountains.
Over five days of hiking, follow remote trails through glacier-fed valleys, alpine meadows and traditional Svan villages. Stay in characterful guesthouses and experience Georgia’s warm hospitality. Climb to scenic passes with breathtaking views of the country’s highest peaks, explore Ushguli, the highest permanently inhabited village in Europe, and reach the spectacular Shkhara Glacier.
With all meals included, you’ll enjoy plentiful Georgian fare even on the trail, from fresh vegetables and local cheeses to generous picnic spreads that reflect the country’s rich culinary traditions. Whether taken on its own or as part of the full Transcaucasian Trail Hike, this is a rewarding and culturally rich trek through one of Europe’s most awe-inspiring mountain regions.
