Itinerary

    Here is our meeting point for the group tours. You will easily find our 4x4 car at the car parking next to the Rike park. We will send you more detail directly. Please leave the correct Whatsapp number or email. We can wait for you only 10 mins before starting time.

  2. 2

    Zhinvali Water Reservoir

    20 min

    On the way to the mountains, we will make a stop for a photo opportunity at the Jinvali lake, which is used as a water reservoir. When the sun shines, the water shows an amazing color blue.

  3. 3

    Ananuri fortress complex

    30 min

    We cannot skip Ananuri Castle on your way to the town of Kazbegi. This complex on the Aragvi River is one of the best-protected fortresses in Georgia.

  4. 4

    Aragvi River

    15 min

    There is an incredible place that attracts many tourists – the white Aragvi and the black Aragvi have their own color, the rivers do not mix up and look like a black-white stream.

  5. 5

    Gudauri

    15 min

    Gudauri sits at an altitude of 2,196 meters, offering spectacular panoramic views of the Greater Caucasus range. Travelers visit this famous mountain area to breathe the crisp air and enjoy a relaxing time. During the winter months, it serves as a premier destination for skiing with family and friends.

  6. 6

    Russian Georgian Friendship Monument

    30 min

    The Russia-Georgia Friendship Monument or Treaty of Georgievsk Monument is a monument built in 1983 to celebrate the bicentennial of the Treaty of Georgievsk and the ongoing friendship between Soviet Georgia and Soviet Russia. There is a lot of history depicted on the mosaic. The panoramic view around the monument is breathtaking, especially if you love mountains!

  7. 7

    Trusso Valley

    1.5 hours

    The beautiful Truso valley, source of the Tergi River, heads west off the Georgian Military Hwy 17km south of Stepantsminda. It's dotted with ancient towers, abandoned Ossetian villages, and strange mineral phenomena, notably the Abano mineral lake that bubbles with carbon dioxide.

  8. 8

    Gergeti Trinity Church

    50 min

    Yes, we know this is your target. So we do not charge additional money for that like other companies. Hope the weather will be good and you see something.

  9. 9

    Stepantsminda

    15 min

    All eyes in this valley village face the hilltop 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church and its neighboring belltower both of which enjoy glacier-capped Mount Kazbek as their backdrop.

  10. 10

    Tbilisi

    10 min

    After the tour, we return to Tbilisi. However, if you prefer to stay in Stepantsminda (Kazbegi), we’ll be happy to leave you there instead – just kindly let us know in advance, so we can organize everything smoothly for you.

Meeting and pickup

You’ll find our 4x4 car at the open-air parking near Rike Park at Europe Square (not Freedom Square), next to the vintage tram café — an old tram turned into a coffee spot. It’s a well-known landmark. Please be on time, we can wait only 10 minutes after the start time.

• Private Tours We provide convenient hotel pickup and drop-off directly from your accommodation in Tbilisi. • Group Tours Group tours do not include hotel pickup or drop-off service. Utilizing a specialized 4x4 vehicle for city transfers would significantly increase the ticket price for everyone. Instead, we gather at a single, easy-to-find central location to keep the tour affordable and ensure we depart for the mountains on time. Our Meeting Point: Europe Square (Rike Park), Tbilisi. We meet in the open asphalt parking lot directly next to the unique, old-fashioned tramcar that serves as a cafe.

End point

After the tour, we can drop you off at Stepantsminda or Gudauri or bring you back to Tbilisi.

After the tour, we can drop you off at Stepantsminda or Gudauri or bring you back to Tbilisi.

After the tour, we can drop you off at Stepantsminda or Gudauri or bring you back to Tbilisi, to the Europe Square
