Took this tour in April 2022. My guide Koba was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic host and a great travelling companion. I absolutely love Georgia and this trip was an amazing experience.
Private adventure journey to GeorgiaIn the early April of 2026, my husband and I had a 11-day Grand Georgia Journey Through Highlands and Sea run by the company of Exotour Georgia. We had a wonderful time in the tour. Thanks to David Sadzaglidhvili, our driver and guide. David was an excellent driver and guide. He was kind, attentive, and always made sure that he could serve our needs or interests during the tour. Especially when there were challenges to execute the original tour plans due to the poor weather or road conditions, he always managed to find a good plan B for us. We are really impressed by the rich Georgia history, culture, and the magnificent Scenery in Georgia.

What is the best time of year for hiking in Georgia's different regions?
Georgia's prime hiking seasons vary across its diverse regions.

Where do travelers stay during multi-day treks in Georgia's mountain regions?
Accommodations range from well-appointed hotels in cities to local guesthouses in mountain villages. Modern hotels like the Kala Hotel in Mestia provide standard amenities while remote villages such as Adishi and Ushguli offer family-run guesthouses with basic shared facilities.

A TourRadar traveler notes: "Staying with local families in Adishi village was a highlight - their warm hospitality and homemade Georgian cuisine made the experience unforgettable."

The country offers trails for every ability level. Beginners can take on the Gergeti Trinity Church trail (6-7 hours 16km) with its views of Mt. Kazbek. Mid-level hikers often choose the Mestia to Ushguli route through historic villages. Advanced trekkers can tackle the Chaukhi Pass trek (8-10 hours reaching 3338m) for dramatic mountain views.
