Trekking to Svaneti - the gem of Georgia. Tbilisi & Batumi, Mestia & Ushguli, Skhara glacier

[@MSav1988]

Hello Igor! Am planning to travel to Georgia coming May for abt 10 days. Can u give me a rough itinerary of places to visit and things to do? Thanks!

Hello! Sure, with pleasure! I'd suggest you to stay in Tbilisi for 2 days, then visit wineries around Telavi and visit Signagi (you can do it as a one day trip from Tbilisi). Then you may visit Gudauri and Kazbegi villages (on the way also check Annanuri church) - that's also a one-day trip from Tbilisi. And after take a Tbilisi - Batumi train (they are very comfortable) and stay in Batumi for a couple of days, near the Black Sea shore. That's a must see, in my opinion. I'd definitely advise to visit Mestia and Ushguli villages in Svaneti (you could see them from my video), but in May ski lifts will not be opened (between winter and summer seasons); you still can visit villages though. The best option is to visit Svaneti from Batumi. If that's not enough (or you will decide not to visit Svaneti), you may visit Kutaisi town (Tbilisi - Batumi train stops at it's airport) and see places around the town, like canyons and waterfalls.

So did u guys book a hiking trip or did it by yourself

[@igor_oleynick]

@@nomanahmed2517 nah, we did it by ourselves. But we’ve had some experience. On the other hand, there’s lot of villages and tourists and in case you can read a map (or have gps) it should be no problem.
