Kazbegi Tour - Mountains & Nature Route

1

Georgian Military Road

  • The road to Kazbegi follows the historic Georgian Military Road through changing mountain landscapes. Zhinvali Reservoir gives the first wide view of water and mountains. Ananuri Fortress, a 16th-18th-century complex on the Aragvi River, shows how military, religious, and local power were connected on this route. After Gudauri and the high Jvari Pass area, the road reaches Stepantsminda, the mountain town below Mount Kazbek.
  • Gergeti Trinity Church is the symbol that makes Kazbegi unforgettable, but the church itself matters as much as the view. Built in the 14th century at about 2,200 meters, it is surrounded by a defensive wall and has a hidden upper level connected with protection during invasions. The church was also connected with the safeguarding of sacred objects, including Saint Nino's cross. The day can also include Dariali Valley and, when suitable, the Gveleti Waterfall area.
