Highlights
This trek has been designed by the team behind the Transcaucasian Trail, the long-distance hiking route connecting communities across the Caucasus. Rather than following a standard tourist itinerary, the route takes you through the heart of Upper Svaneti, linking medieval tower villages, traditional guesthouses, high mountain passes, and some of Georgia's most spectacular alpine landscapes. Travelers benefit from detailed route planning, local logistical coordination, accommodation and transport arrangements, GPS navigation resources, and direct connections with local service providers. The experience combines the freedom of independent trekking with the reassurance of local expertise and support, while helping ensure that tourism directly benefits mountain communities along the route.

About Tbilisi
Tbilisi, Georgia's capital, spills along a river gorge beneath a fortress, mixing balconied old houses, sulphur baths and bold modern landmarks.
The old town gathers along the Mtkvari River, its narrow streets lined with carved wooden balconies, churches and wine bars. Abanotubani, the bath district, is crowned by brick domes over sulphur springs, and the walls of Narikala Fortress overlook it all, reached by cable car or a steep walk. The Mother of Georgia statue stands on the ridge holding a sword and a bowl of wine.
Top-ranked sights in Tbilisi: Metekhi Church, Narikala Fortress, Tbilisi Old Town (Dzveli Tbilisi).
