Svaneti is home to some of the highest mountains in the Caucasus, including Shkhara, Georgia's tallest peak at over 5,200 meters. Here too stands the legendary Ushba, often called the 'Matterhorn of the Caucasus' for its striking shape and beauty.

There's a phrase travelers often repeat after visiting: 'Svaneti is where you truly understand how immense mountains can be.' And it's true - here, even the journey itself becomes part of the experience.

Day one takes you past the Inguri Reservoir and dam, one of the region's most impressive engineering achievements, then continues to Mestia. Along the way, panoramic views, gorges, mountain rivers, and Caucasus peaks accompany you throughout.

In Mestia, you'll visit the house-museum of Mikhail Khergiani, the legendary Georgian mountaineer known as the 'tiger of the rocks' for his skill and daring climbs. This place helps you genuinely feel Svaneti's connection to mountaineering history and the Caucasus peaks.

Day two is devoted to Ushguli, one of Europe's highest permanently inhabited villages, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site for its well-preserved medieval towers and unique atmosphere.

For those interested, there's an optional walk to the Shkhara Glacier. The route is straightforward and requires no special training. Even in summer, you'll witness an amazing contrast: bright green alpine meadows, blooming mountain spring, and glaciers all at once.

This tour is designed to be both enriching and comfortable: comfortable transport, private accommodation without shared rooms, and meals already included in the price.
