In this 12-day trip to Georgia designed to coincide with Easter, we combine cultural visits with walks through what many consider the Caucasus’s finest trekking scenery.
We cross the country by train towards the mountainous Svaneti region, where we can admire villages known for their defensive towers.
We stay in rural guesthouses where we can sample the rich cuisine and experience the culture of these Caucasian villages first-hand.
Georgia straddles two great continents: Europe and Asia. Although its history dates back to the 11th century, Georgia was part of the former USSR for many years. It gained independence in 1991 with the fall of the Soviet Union.
It borders Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan and Tbilisi as its capital. A beautiful city of 1.4 million inhabitants, set among mountains on the banks of the Kura River. The city’s name comes from the word Tpli, which in Georgian means hot water and which refers to the presence of sulphurous and thermal waters.
One of our star trips this year and possibly one of the best routes of Georgia and Caucasus trekking.
The route from Mestia to Ushguli involves 5 days of moderate walking through remote valleys and medieval villages, crossing mountain passes and admiring magnificent glaciers with views of the country’s highest peaks.
