— About this tour

Three hikes.
Three distinct terrains.

Four days built around Kazbegi's three most distinctive hiking experiences. You'll sleep three nights in the same comfortable base in Stepantsminda — no re-packing, no shuttle fatigue — and hike a different trail each day.

Day one takes you to the 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church, carved into a hilltop at 2,170m. Day two is the alpine meadow trek from Juta to Tina Lake at 2,550m, with Chaukhi peaks on all sides. Day three drops you into Truso Valley — mineral springs that tint the soil orange and red, abandoned stone towers older than most capital cities, and a landscape that looks like nothing else on Earth.

What you'll hike
  • Gergeti Trinity Church (2,170m) — 3h round trip
  • Juta to Tina Lake (2,550m) — 3–4h round trip
  • Truso Valley mineral-spring trek — 5–6h
  • Views of Mt. Kazbek (5,047m) throughout
