What you can expect

  • Experience the Magic of Svaneti: A Journey Beyond the Clouds
    Day 1: Into the Heart of Svaneti
    Your adventure begins at 08:00 AM as we depart from Kutaisi in a comfortable 4x4 Subaru Forester. We make our first major stop at the Enguri Dam at 12:00 PM, one of the world's highest arch dams. By 14:00 PM, we arrive in Mestia. After an authentic Svan lunch, we’ll explore the Margiani House-Museum to see a medieval fortified dwelling and visit the Mestia Ethnographic Museum, which houses a world-class treasury and ancient icons.

    Day 2: The Heights of Ushguli and Panoramic Peaks
    We start at 08:00 AM for Ushguli, Europe's second highest inhabited village. Our sturdy 4x4 SUV will take us through the mountain passes to reach the sacred Lamaria Church and the village's historic towers with Shkhara Glacier as our backdrop. At 03:00 PM, we return to Mestia for a breathtaking ride on the Hatsvali-Zuruldi cable car for a 360-degree view of the Caucasus peaks.

    Day 3: Glaciers and Legends
    On the final day, we head towards the Chalaadi Glacier. We’ll drive as far as the SUV allows, followed by a light hike through beautiful forests to reach the ice. On our way back, we’ll visit the Mikhail Khergiani House-Museum, dedicated to the legendary “Tiger of the Mountains.” After a farewell lunch, we head back to Kutaisi, arriving in the evening.
