Hike in Georgia with accommodation in huts – briefly about the route
Svaneti: trekking with views of Ushba, Tetnuldi and glaciers
Classical hiking routes in Svaneti involve living in tents and day hikes with heavy backpacks. Such a format of traveling doesn't suit everybody, that's why we worked out the Svaneti: trekking with views of Ushba, Tetnuldi and glaciers without tents and big backpacks. There we will stay in Svanetian guesthouses in mountain villages. We will have breakfast and dinner there, which will give us a possibility to enjoy local cuisine during the whole trip. We will carry only light backpacks, which also adds to our comfort.

In addition to these aspects, we tried to make the route easier by transferring: we excluded uninteresting crossings and long climbing, replacing them with transfers. This also made it possible to include in the program more interesting places, so that the richness and beauty of the hike is not inferior to the traditional hiking programs in Svaneti. If you want to go hiking, but have doubts about your physical condition, or just want to spend your hiking tour as comfortably as possible – choose this option!
Climbing in Georgia
Have you already been on a few mountain hikes and want to take the next step – further and higher? Georgia is the perfect place for that! We invite you to take part in mountain climbing in this wonderful country. In contrast to the usual hiking and trekking, climbing requires more thorough training and certain mountaineering skills. If you do not have these skills, do not worry – our guides will help you to acclimatize and train. Each peak has its own difficulty and requirements to the experience of potential climbers.
We suggest you try your strength in climbing Kazbek. Carefully read the descriptions of the program, look through the schedule and choose the climbing in Georgia to your liking!
When is the best time to go hiking in Georgia?
Georgia is good at any time of the year, but for hiking in the mountains, we recommend choosing summer and early fall. Now we will tell you in more detail about the features of each season.
Hiking in Georgia in summer – in June, July, or August
Undoubtedly, summer is the best time to hike in Georgia. Since most of the routes are at high altitudes, it is very important that the snow has melted enough and the air has warmed up. This is why we recommend going to Georgia in the summer and going to the mountains. After all, even if it is hot near the sea, in the mountains it will always be comfortable, and in the evenings it is even cool. In June, most likely, it will still be snowy at altitudes of 2500 m and above. But in July and August, the snow will melt. You can have more advantage of trekking at the end of summer - ripe fruit and berries.

Hiking in Georgia in the fall – in September, October and November
Early fall is also a great season to go to Georgia. Maybe even the best. In September, it is still warm, the weather is stable, the fruits with which Georgia is so rich are coming into season. The sea is as warm as possible. In October, it starts to get colder, but the weather is still stable. But in November the approach of winter is felt. It is cold in the mountains, we do not organize our hikes in this month, and we do not recommend you to go.
Hiking in Georgia in Winter – January, December and February
Georgia has some great ski resorts with great freeride opportunities. Skiing is what makes it worthwhile to go in the winter, rather than hiking in the high mountains.

Hiking in Georgia in the spring – May, March and April
Spring comes early in Georgia, but not everywhere. First it comes to the sea coast and only then it slowly makes its way to the mountains. In March and April, we do not recommend hiking – there is still a lot of snow, and it is cold. But it is possible to go to Georgia on May holidays. But we must realize that the evenings are still cold, and to have enough warm clothing.
Hiking in Georgia – the cost
Hiking in the mountains of Georgia is a great option to spend an unforgettable vacation and test yourself. The cost of the hike depends on the duration and type. For example, climbing will always cost more than the usual trekking. After all, they require better training, additional equipment, and involve more risk. Detailed information about the prices for each individual route can be found in its full description. Be sure to pay attention to what is included in the cost of the tour in Georgia and what is not, and how much extra money you should take. The national currency of Georgia is lari, but you'll be okay with dollars. Also, hryvnias can be changed into lari.
