Description

More than sightseeing—explore Svaneti on a 2- or 3-day adventure from Kutaisi. Visit Mestia and Ushguli with scenic hikes to glaciers and waterfalls. Small groups, max 6 guests.
Join us on a 2- or 3-day 4x4 trip from Kutaisi to Svaneti, one of Georgia’s most remote and beautiful mountain regions. The drive itself is a big part of the experience — winding roads, rivers, and those iconic Svan towers along the way.

You’ll hike to glaciers and waterfalls, visit one of Europe’s highest villages (2,100 m), and spend a night in Mestia. In winter, expect snow and quiet landscapes; in summer, green valleys and great hiking. It’s a mix of nature, local culture, and places you probably wouldn’t reach on your own.

Accommodation in Mestia is not included. We recommend staying near Seti Square (contact us for suggestions).

Tour Options:
• Small group (max 6 per car)
