The Georgian Military Highway is the primary route for this tour, offering spectacular mountain scenery. You will see the Zhinvali Reservoir, the historic Ananuri Fortress, the Gudauri Friendship Monument, and finally, the stunning views of Mount Kazbek.

What should I know about the 'Heavy Snowfall' warning in winter?

We explicitly warn that due to heavy snowfall (mid-Feb to mid-Mar), there is a 30% chance the road to Kazbegi may be closed by the government for safety. We prioritize guest safety and will offer alternatives or rescheduling if this occurs.

Yes, the main optional expense is the off-road 4x4 drive (20 GEL per person) to Gergeti Trinity Church. All other stops, including Ananuri and Gudauri, require no entry fee. Meals and drinks are not included.
