6 Days of Culture & Mountain Majesty in Georgia

Leave the city behind and head north along the Georgian Military Highway — a legendary route carved through the heart of the Caucasus. Your first stop is the UNESCO-listed Jvari Monastery, perched above the confluence of two rivers, where sweeping views echo with centuries of spiritual devotion.

As the road twists through lush valleys, pause by the shimmering Zhinvali Reservoir, then explore the fairy-tale towers and frescoed churches of Ananuri Castle. Each stone tells a tale of medieval battles and mountain kingdoms.

The climb continues to Gudauri Viewpoint, where the soaring Friendship Monument offers 360° vistas of alpine grandeur. Snow-dusted peaks stretch endlessly — a panorama fit for postcards and quiet awe.

By late afternoon, arrive in Kazbegi, the crown jewel of Georgia’s highlands. Settle into your hotel beneath the mighty Mount Kazbek (5,047m), and toast the day’s adventures with a hearty local dinner — perhaps by a roaring fireplace, with the stars waiting just beyond the window.

Wake to crisp mountain air and the silhouette of Mount Kazbek towering above Kazbegi. This day invites you into the very soul of the Caucasus. First, climb by 4x4 to the Gergeti Trinity Church, a 14th-century sanctuary poised against the sky at 2,170 meters. With panoramic views that rival any painting, this is one of Georgia’s most iconic spiritual landmarks.

Then venture deeper into the wilderness with a scenic hike to the Gveleti Waterfall, tucked within the dramatic cliffs of Dariali Gorge. Mist dances on the rocks as you approach, each step drawing you closer to nature’s raw, untamed rhythm.

Your journey continues with a peaceful stop at the Mtavarangelozi Monastery, a lesser-known gem surrounded by solitude and mountain silence — a space for reflection, and perhaps a few unforgettable photographs.

Enjoy lunch at the stylish Rooms Hotel Restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame Kazbek’s snowy majesty as you sample mountain-inspired Georgian cuisine. The rest of the afternoon is yours — explore local markets, sip mulled wine, or simply bask in the stillness of this extraordinary place.

Begin your day with a scenic drive from Kazbegi into the highlands of Juta Valley — Georgia’s alpine treasure tucked at 2,200 meters above sea level. Surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Chaukhi Massif, the journey itself is a slow unraveling of wilderness and wonder.

Your first stop is the iconic Fifth Season guesthouse, perched above the clouds like something from a mountaineer’s dream. Sip fresh-brewed coffee and sample homemade pastries while soaking in one of the most breathtaking panoramas in the Caucasus.

Then, saddle up for a guided horseback ride through flower-dotted meadows and quiet trails leading toward the serene Erkonovano Lake. Let the rhythm of hooves carry you into Georgia’s wild heart, where silence is broken only by birdsong and breeze. The lake, a hidden mirror beneath the cliffs, offers postcard views and peaceful moments few ever reach.

After the return ride, enjoy free time in Juta village — wander among ancient stone houses, greet local herders, or simply breathe the sharp, clean air of this timeless land. By evening, you’ll return to Kazbegi with cheeks tinged from sun and wind, and a soul stirred by the serenity of Georgia’s wildest corners.

After one last gaze at the towering ridges of Kazbegi, it’s time to descend from the heights — but not without savoring the soul of the region one last time. The road winds back toward Tbilisi, but your journey is far from over.

Pause in Saguramo at Guramishvili’s Marani, a restored ancestral winery where Georgian tradition lives in every clay qvevri and every glass poured. Settle into a rustic cellar atmosphere and enjoy a light lunch paired with bold, expressive local wines — crafted by time, soil, and legend.

Then continue to Mtskheta, Georgia’s ancient capital and spiritual soul. Here stands the Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site draped in history and reverence. Walk beneath soaring arches and intricately carved facades, where kings are buried and miracles are said to echo in stone.

By late afternoon, you’ll return to Tbilisi, with the evening free to wander Old Town, hunt for keepsakes, or relax over one final bowl of khinkali. From mountain solitude to sacred architecture and back to the city’s vibrant hum — today is a celebration of Georgia’s past, present, and ageless beauty.

Slow Mornings, Sweet Goodbyes & One Last Toast to Georgia

Your final day in Georgia begins unrushed — as it should. Spend the morning meandering through Tbilisi’s charming backstreets, revisiting a favorite café or soaking in the warm hush of a city you now know by heart. Maybe there’s time for a last stroll across the Peace Bridge, a hidden courtyard to discover, or one final bite of warm khachapuri fresh from the tone oven.

Our team will handle the check-out process and transfer to Tbilisi International Airport, ensuring your departure is as smooth as your arrival.

Though your bags may be packed, the spirit of this journey — the mountain sunrises, monastery echoes, and vineyard laughter — will stay with you long after the flight home.

Until we meet again... ბედნიერი მგზავრობა!
