On the way to Kazbegi, we stop at the picturesque Zhinvali Water Reservoir, and then visit the Ananuri Castle on the Aragvi River. The castle was the scene of numerous battles and served as a shelter for the local population during the wars. Ananuri is considered one of the most beautiful historical monuments of Georgia.
At an altitude of 2200 meters above the sea level, on the southern side of the plateau of the Greater Caucasus Range, and near the Cross Pass, there is the Gudauri Ski resort.
The Panorama Gudauri is a monument to celebrate the friendship between Georgia and Russia.
Stepantsminda is a small town. The main attraction here is the Church of the Holy Trinity – the Gergeti Monastery that is located at an altitude of 2170 meters under the mountain pick of Kazbegi. Due to its location on the top of a steep mountain, surrounded by very harsh nature, the church became the symbol of preservation of the Georgian relics.

5.00Luckily, today the group in the tour was small which made the trip more comfortable. Overall, I had a lot of fun; it was very important for my sister to be interested in this trip as she can get bored easily so the guide and the places we visited were truly amazing as even she was interested. The trip itself was a day long, which I am not complaining about as we visited a lot of places. In conclusion, everything was amazing.
Excellent taste of the mountains!

5.00Georgii was an excellent tour guide - super informative, giving a really thorough insight into all the places we visited. It was an interesting route with some really picturesque stop-offs and I really enjoyed the honey tasting! Great value for money and would recommend for anyone wanting to get a taste of the Caucasian mountains!
Awesome 😎

5.00It was very good during the trip. The Guide was small yet understandable. Food is not compulsory if we are not hungry or unwanted.Finally, someone who asks to pay 20 to get to the Gergeti Church is worth a car.
