Detailed itinerary

Your tour begins at the pristine Jinvali Reservoir, nestled in a stunning valley. The shimmering turquoise waters, surrounded by lush greenery and towering mountains, offer the perfect introduction to Georgia’s natural splendor. Pause for a moment to capture the panoramic views of the water and the dramatic hills that encircle it. The peaceful atmosphere here is an ideal place for reflection before continuing your journey.

Next, head to the Ananuri Fortress, a medieval complex overlooking the Jinvali Reservoir. Standing tall for centuries, the fortress tells the story of Georgia’s rich history. Walk through its imposing gates, marvel at the intricate frescoes inside the churches, and enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and river. The stronghold once served as a defensive post for Georgian kings and nobility, and its majestic towers offer a glimpse into the country’s royal past.

Continue your journey towards Gudauri, Georgia’s premier ski resort. As you ascend along the winding roads, the scenery changes, revealing the dramatic peaks of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. The snow-capped summits and vast expanses of alpine meadows will leave you in awe, no matter the season. For thrill-seekers, Gudauri is the ideal place to enjoy skiing or snowboarding during the winter, or simply to take in the stunning vistas on a leisurely stroll.

The grand finale of this journey is Kazbegi, a picturesque mountain village set against the imposing backdrop of Mount Kazbeg, one of Georgia’s highest peaks. The towering mountain offers a stunning view, with its snow-capped summit often visible through the clouds. In Kazbegi, you’ll visit the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church, perched on a hilltop above the village. This ancient church is not only a religious symbol but also an architectural marvel that offers breathtaking views of the valley below. The peacefulness of this place will transport you to a different time, evoking a sense of serenity amid the rugged mountains.
