Geography:

Despite its small area, the climate and the landscape are quite diverse. within an hour-long drive you can cross a stone-desert, a high-altitude pine-forest and a highland

Event overview:
Over the years, we’ve guided multiple teams to the summit of Mount Kazbek and led countless multi-day backpacking expeditions through some of the most remote and wild parts of the region. And this time, we’re taking you on one of the region’s most iconic trails: the Mestia to Ushguli trek in wild Svaneti.
Over 4 days, we’ll hike through ancient mountain villages, cross alpine passes up to 3,500m, and follow trails beneath glaciers and towering peaks. Nights are spent in remote guesthouses, with local food and incredible views.
This is a guided backpacking trip, designed for those with previous multi-day hiking experience. It’s not a city tour – it’s for those who crave challenge, simplicity, and raw beauty.

If you’re ready to get out of your comfort zone, we’ll help you prepare and hit the trail with confidence.
Join the team. The mountains are calling!
