All about the trip

Departure point: Kutaisi (hotel pick-up included)

Endpoint: Mestia (hotel drop-off included)

We start our journey at 09:00. Our driver and the guide will pick you up from your hotel in Kutaisi.

We will then drive through an amazing road along the Engur Gorge, directly to the mountains. On the elevation of 1500 meters, we reach the municipal center of upper Svaneti, Mestia. This is a splendid place with stunning views and architecture, surrounded by impressive 5000 m peaks. Svaneti is one of Georgia’s most historic and unique areas and a real skier's dream.

Until recently, Svaneti was known for its superb house-towers, most of them dating back to the 12-13th centuries, which line the valleys and served as look-out posts against the threat of invasion. A long time ago, every self-respecting Svan family had its tower, where they were protected during wars. The towers are remained like silent witnesses of those times and still delight us with their slender and beauty. Those towers belong to the UNESCO World Heritage List. There is something about the region that makes you feel as if the time has stood still.

The people of Svaneti are a race apart, the pace of life is different there. They have their language and traditions, their architectural style, and ancient customs that are still parts of everyday life. Close to the main square of Mestia, you can see locals driving cattle to pasture or buy fresh baked Khachapuri (cheese bread) for 30 cents from a bakery sitting in a centuries-old stone building.

We will have dinner in Mestia and we will drop you off here at your hotel. Enjoy your stay in Svaneti and spend a great time in stunning nature.
