— About this tour

The Caucasus
in two days.

A compact, content-packed introduction to the Greater Caucasus. Day 1: early pickup in Tbilisi (about 3 hours' drive with stops) and the Gergeti hike in the afternoon. Day 2: the Juta trek, then back to Tbilisi or the airport by evening. Arriving the night before? We can add a Tbilisi hotel night, so a Friday-evening arrival becomes a Saturday–Sunday trip. Two full trails, one mountain town at 1,700m, and a licensed guide handling all the logistics.

Day one takes you up to the 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church at 2,170m — three hours round trip through pine forest and alpine meadow, with views of Mt. Kazbek (5,047m). Day two is the Juta to Tina Lake trek at 2,550m, through green alpine paths toward the Chaukhi mountain system.

Perfect if you're combining Georgia with an Azerbaijan or Armenia trip, or just want a long weekend in the mountains.

  • Gergeti Trinity Church (2,170m) — 3h round trip
  • Juta to Tina Lake (2,550m) — 3–4h round trip
