Day-wise Itinerary

Expand

Day 1: Arrival In Tbilisi - Transfer To Hotel

  • Your Georgian journey begins as soon as you land at Tbilisi International Airport. A driver who speaks English meets you as you step out and takes you into the city, straight to your hotel. After checking in and freshening up, you can slow down and let the travel tiredness fade away for the rest of the day. Overnight stay at the hotel in Tbilisi.
  • (Lunch and Dinner)

Day 2: Tbilisi City Tour With Cable Car Ride And Old Town Visit

  • After breakfast, your morning begins at Rike Park, where the Kura River flows beside quiet gardens, fountains and modern sculptures. Take the cable car that lifts you above the rooftops to the Mother of Georgia statue, and the whole city opens up beneath you. Back down the hill, a short stop at the Botanical Garden brings a calm, green pause in the middle of the city.
  • You then cross the glass-and-steel Peace Bridge into Old Tbilisi and wander down Shardeni Street, lined with cafés, galleries and small shops. Past the Clock Tower, the domed roofs of Abanotubani appear, where bathhouses sit above natural hot springs and the old brick and stone tell the story of Georgia's bathing tradition. The day ends at Sameba Cathedral (Holy Trinity Cathedral), one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world, with Tbilisi stretched out around it.
  • For the evening, an optional funicular ride up to Mtatsminda Park lets you watch the city lights come on from the hilltop (at additional cost). Otherwise, you return to your hotel and rest after a full day. Overnight stay at the hotel in Tbilisi.
  • (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)

Day 3: Transfer From Tbilisi To Gudauri With Zhinvali Reservoir Visit

  • After breakfast, you leave Tbilisi and the Georgian Military Highway begins to climb towards the Caucasus Mountains. The first stop is the Zhinvali Reservoir, where turquoise water rests among the hills, a perfect spot for Instagram-worthy photos. Right beside it stands Ananuri Fortress, a 17th-century stronghold, and you can wander around its old stone walls with the lake glowing behind.
  • The road then winds higher through wide mountain landscapes until you reach Gudauri, an alpine resort known for its sweeping viewpoints. You check in to your hotel and freshen up after the drive.
  • With the rest of the day free, you can breathe in the cool mountain air or may visit the Friendship Monument, where the gorge drops away in front of you and the views are made for photos.
  • (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)

Day 4: Kazbegi Day Excursion With 4x4 Ride To Gergeti Trinity Church

  • After breakfast, you head further north, and the road winds through the mountains with new views opening up at every bend. Your destination is Kazbegi, also known as Stepantsminda, a small town sitting in the shadow of the high peaks.
  • A 4x4 ride takes you up the hillside to Gergeti Trinity Church, standing alone on its hilltop with Mount Kazbek rising behind it. Later, you continue to the Dariali Gorge near the Georgia-Russia border, where rugged cliffs close in around the road and the mountains feel wild and untouched.
  • Before leaving, you spend some quiet time in Kazbegi village, soaking in its calm mountain atmosphere. In the evening, you drive back to Gudauri for the night. Overnight stay at the hotel in Gudauri.

At Jvari, you step out onto the hilltop and look down at the rivers meeting below. At Svetitskhoveli, you walk inside the cathedral and spend time in the old town around it.
  • You reach Tbilisi in the evening, check in to your hotel and freshen up. The rest of the night is yours to unwind after the mountain days. Overnight stay at the hotel in Tbilisi.

  • From there, you go up to the Didveli ski area for the toboggan ride, the main moment of the day. You sit in a steel-rail toboggan and glide down the slope through open air and forest bends, with wide views on every side. he ride feels safe and smooth, and it's the kind of fun that leaves you wanting to go again.
  • Once you have had your fill, you spend time wandering the pine-lined paths, sitting on the wooden terraces facing the slopes, and stopping at quiet viewpoints for photos. Later, you drive back to Tbilisi. Overnight stay at the hotel in Tbilisi.
  • (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner)
