Overview

Explore remote mountain villages on this 2- or 3-day adventure from Kutaisi! You’ll go off-road to reach one of Europe’s highest continuously inhabited villages — Ushguli, where around 200 people live year-round at 2,100 metres, cut off from the world each winter. Travel in a 4x4 along a spectacular mountain road, hike to the Shkhara Glacier, and stay overnight in Mestia. Next day will return to Kutaisi, expected return: approx. 7–8 PM (let us know if you need to be back by a specific time).

Please note: Accommodation is not included in the tour price. We recommend booking a hotel in Mestia, at walking distance from Seti Square — feel free to contact us for suggestions!
