Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) Tour

Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) Tour

Kazbegi, one of the most visited places of Georgia. Highest peak of Caucasus on the Eastern side mount Kazbegi 5037m, Holly Trinity church at the altitude of 2200, scenic Military road. Amazing village Juta at the altitude 2240m and Rocky mountain Chaukhi with several peaks, highest peak 3800m.

In the morning we will drive to Kazbegi town, newly given name is Stephantsminda, but always hard to forget former toponyms.

As we are going to mountains and Kazbegi is one of the highest peak of Caucasus, if you are familiar with high blood pressure problems, I have some underground tours as well.

En route we will visit Ananuri fortress and church (17-th century). Castle and churches of Dukes of Aragvi, witness of cruel battles of pride dukes against actually everybody and you might guess the end of their dynasty.

We will cross central Caucasus ridge at the Cross pass, pass the Winter resort Gudauri, then stop at the edge of rocky cliff and you can enjoy views from High peak at the valley.

Holly Trinity church, enjoy newly made road up to the church or just drive to Village Juta, Chaukhi mountain, 4km track up to the mount Chaukhi, little ascend, easy walk, but still both ways 8km, you must be able walk long distance, if not still possible to do 1km trek and enjoy views of mount Chaukhi.
