About the tour

The trek from Mestia to Ushguli is one of the most rewarding ways to experience the true character of Svaneti. Over two days, hike along mountain trails, cross alpine sections and green meadows, and pass through traditional villages marked by centuries-old defensive towers.

Unlike a standard sightseeing tour by car, this route allows you to experience Svaneti at walking pace — hearing the silence of the mountains, watching the landscape change, and getting closer to the everyday life of remote communities.

The journey ends in Ushguli, a historic highland village surrounded by traditional architecture and dramatic views of Mount Shkhara.
