Why trekking & hiking in Georgia
A hidden gem for trekking & hiking enthusiasts
For a country its size, Georgia is one of the most rewarding trekking destinations on earth. The Greater Caucasus throws up some of the highest peaks in Europe, and the trails that thread between them lead through alpine meadows, glacier valleys, turquoise high-mountain lakes, and remote villages where medieval stone towers still stand. You can walk an easy half-day to a waterfall or cross a high pass on a multi-day route — and almost everywhere, the trails are still blissfully uncrowded compared with the Alps. What makes trekking here special isn't just the scenery: it's the culture you meet along the way — shepherds, family guesthouses, and a mountain hospitality that turns a hike into something you remember for life.

FAQ
Common questions
How fit do I need to be?
It depends on the trek. Our easy routes suit anyone who can walk comfortably for a few hours. Moderate routes need good general fitness; challenging ones need real hiking fitness. We'll always advise which level suits you.
Do I need previous hiking experience?
Not for our easier treks. For moderate and challenging routes, some prior hill-walking experience helps, but certified guides are with you every step. We brief you fully before departure.
Are treks suitable for families with kids?
Yes — many of our shorter, easier trails work well for families with children aged 8+. Tell us the ages and fitness of your group and we'll suggest the best options.
What happens if the weather turns bad?
Your guide monitors conditions and will adapt the route if needed. Safety always comes first. In rare cases of dangerous weather, we reschedule or reroute — we've been running these mountains long enough to know when to turn back.
Are treks private, and can they be customised?
Every trek we run is private — just you and your companions. And yes, the itinerary can be adjusted to your interests, pace, and fitness level. Use the "Plan a Custom Trip" button to start.
What should I pack?
Broken-in hiking boots, moisture-wicking layers, a warm fleece or down mid-layer, a waterproof jacket, a daypack, 2 l water capacity, sun protection, and travel insurance that covers trekking and altitude. We send a full kit list after booking.
How high do the trails go?
Day hikes can range from 600 m to above 2,500 m. Multi-day routes in Svaneti and Kazbegi cross passes between 2,700 and 3,200 m. We note the maximum altitude in every itinerary.
