Private Tour in Svaneti
- The Iconic Svan Towers (Koshki): Walk through medieval defensive stone villages built between the 9th and 13th centuries. You’ll explore the historic Laghami quarter in Mestia and climb inside the ancient Margiani House Museum to see how Svan families and their livestock survived freezing winters and mountain feuds.
Ushguli – Europe’s Highest Village: Travel by 4WD to the edge of civilization. Sitting at 2,200 meters above sea level, Ushguli is a jaw-dropping cluster of four villages framed by the massive wall of Mount Shkhara (Georgia's highest peak at 5,193m).
The Sentinels of the Caucasus: Gaze up at the twin peaks of the notoriously steep, dagger-like Mount Ushba (known as the "Matterhorn of the Caucasus") and the pristine white pyramid of Mount Tetnuldi.
Walking on Glaciers: Feel the breath of the mountains with a scenic trek through pine forests to the foot of the roaring Chalaadi Glacier, or marvel at the ice falls of the Shdugra Waterfall—the tallest in Georgia.
Alpine Mirrors & Cable Car Views: Ride the Hatsvali cable car up to Mount Zuruldi for 360-degree panoramic views of the entire range, and (for the adventurous) ascend to the crystal-clear Koruldi Lakes, where snow-capped peaks reflect perfectly in the water.
Hidden Treasures & Pagan Secrets: Visit the Svaneti Museum of History and Ethnography to witness ancient gold icons, illuminated gospels, and weapons salvaged from centuries of isolation. In Ushguli, we'll step into the 12th-century Lamaria Church, dedicated to a pagan fertility goddess turned Christian saint.
Svanetian Feasts: Replenish your energy after hiking with traditional Svan cuisine. You’ll taste Kubdari (a hearty flatbread packed with meat, onions, and wild mountain herbs) and dishes seasoned with the famous, aromatic Svanetian Salt.
