About this experience
Chaukhi Pass 3341 m is dividing Kazbegi region and Khevsureti. It is compelling due to a proximity of imposing Chaukhi massif with its many sharp peaks. At the other side of the pass, you will find meadows with intriguing rock formations (Roshka stones) and Abudelauri lakes - three beautiful alpine lakes with different colors (green, blue and white). Chaukhi pass is one of the highest and most beautiful passes in Georgia. We will do a trek from Juta village to Chaukhi Pass and back to show you how beautiful it is there.
