Discover Kazbegi / Georgian Military Highway
Trade the city for the high Caucasus on this full-day journey north along the historic Georgian Military Highway. You'll stand above the turquoise Zhinvali Reservoir at the Ananuri fortress, pause for a taste of alpine honey, watch two rivers of different colours meet at the Aragvi confluence, and take in sweeping mountain views from the Gudauri viewpoint and Friendship Monument. The finale: we drive you all the way up to the Gergeti Trinity Church, perched at 2,170 m beneath the snow-capped Mount Kazbek — one of Georgia's most iconic sights. You'll be back in Tbilisi by evening, full of mountain air and photographs.
