Description

Explore the Greater Caucasus Range on a guided tour from Tbilisi. Visit the Ananuri Fortress, see the confluence of the White & Black Aragvi rivers, and take a 4x4 drive to the Gergeti Trinity Church.
Begin your journey along the Georgian Military Highway, heading north toward the Greater Caucasus Range. Stop at the Zhinvali Reservoir, a turquoise artificial lake surrounded by green mountains. Take a brief photo stop and learn about the history of the reservoir's creation.

Continue to the Ananuri Fortress, a picturesque medieval castle complex from the 16th–17th centuries, located at the confluence of the Vedzatkhevi and Aragvi Rivers. Enjoy a guided walkthrough of the complex and hear stories of the feudal rulers, the Eristavis of Aragvi.

Next, visit the confluence of the White and Black Aragvi near the village of Pasanauri, where two distinct mountain streams meet. Take a photo pause at the viewpoint, learn about the local legend of the two loving sisters, and taste famous Pasanauri khinkali in the birthplace of the dish.

Stop at St. George Church in Nagvarevi, an ancient medieval church set on a forested ridge overlooking the White Aragvi River valley. Explore this serene historical site and discover one of the lesser-known monuments along the Georgian Military Highway.

Continue to the Gudauri Viewpoint, a monumental structure at an altitude of approximately 2,200 meters above sea level, designed by architect George Chakhava over the Aragvi Gorge. Take a photo stop at the high-altitude viewpoint and enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Next, visit the Mineral Travertines, a striking natural monument located directly along the Georgian Military Highway near Jvari Pass. Taste fresh mineral water straight from the spring and take vibrant photos against a Martian-like landscape.

Arrive in Stepantsminda (Kazbegi), a high-mountain village at the foot of Mount Kazbek that serves as the main gateway to the region's alpine sights. Stop for lunch at a local restaurant and taste traditional mountain cuisine and authentic khinkali.

Finally, visit the Gergeti Trinity Church, a 14th-century cross-cupola church perched at an elevation of 2,170 meters right at the foot of Mount Kazbek. Take an off-road 4x4 drive up to the church (or a scenic hike), tour the interior, and enjoy free time for photo opportunities.
