FROM TBILISI · SVANETI & MESTIA TOURS
Tower houses under glaciers, and Ushguli near the top of the inhabited world. Svaneti is a long way from the city, so these 7 run as multi-day trips — compared on nights, how much is driving, which villages you reach and whether the walking is optional.
An 8-day Svaneti trek from Mestia toward Ushguli, with expert guides, guesthouses, meals, and big mountain views plus Svani culture.
“This was a great trip. Very well organised from the word go: all prior emails were answered promptly, & everything was clear. The accommodation was simple but good, (but don't always expect hot water). The food was very good, & always plentiful.”
Five days in Svaneti with Mestia, Ushguli towers, Chalaadi glacier, Hatsvali cable car, Becho gorge, and Shtugra waterfall.
“Winter hike with snowshoes was awesome. We couldn't make it to the top because it was too exhausting but we had a nice walk. The beauty is unreal.”

“It was a fun four days with our guide Gogita. The spectacular mountain and village views, especially from the village of Ushguli, were amazing and I took several similar pictures. There is a lot of car travel, but I think it is well worth visiting this area. The valley we stopped by on our way home was beautiful too.Auto-translated”
