One Day Tour in Kazbegi

One Day Tour in Kazbegi

On this tour we will visit the church of Gergeti with a view of the majestic Kazbegi on one side and the village of Stepantsminda, surrounded by a galaxy of mountains, on the other. This place of amazing beauty and energy should be seen by everyone who arrived in Georgia. On the way, we will visit the bank of the Zhinvali reservoir with its turquoise water. We will see the ancient walls of the church and fortress Ananuri,  Gudauri – the mecca of a ski resort and the statue of friendship of Russian and Georgian people. We will drive the very same road that Pushkin and Lermontov used to travel and sing about its beauty, heading for Tbilisi.

• The Georgian military road was built two hundred years ago, after the accession of Georgia to the Russian Empire. In those years, the journey from Tiflis took at least a month. There are Georgian monuments of antiquity all along the road: cathedrals, fortresses, watchtowers.
• Zhinvali water reservoir. Zhinvali reservoir is considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Georgia. The turquoise mirror of the reservoir stretching between the mountain peaks is unusually picturesque at any time of the year.
• Ananuri. To the Cross Pass the road goes along the course of the Aragvi River. We will stay in Ananuri, at the once impregnable fortress, which served as an outpost of defense and the residence of the rulers of this land 400 years ago.
• Gudauri is the youngest and most modern winter resort in Georgia, the visiting card of the local “alpine skier”. The resort is located on the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, among snow-covered peaks and deep gorges shining in the sun. Gudauri boasts wide comfortable slopes of various steepness, beautiful snow cover from December to April, a mild climate without strong frosts and icy winds and, which is very pleasing, more than reasonable prices.
• The Gergeti Temple (Church of the Holy Trinity) is a cross-domed temple, built in the XIV century. The only temple of this type in the Kazbegi region. It is located high on the mountain above the village of Gergeti and the town of Stepantsminda. Gergeti Trinity – amazing temple. This is a rare case when the temple is located high in the mountains, at an altitude of 2227 meters from sea level. An unusual combination of architecture and snow. The temple looks great, especially if it is photographed against the backdrop of the Kazbegi glaciers. In July crowds of people gather here for the holiday of Gergetoba.
