Description
Your journey begins with a convenient pickup from Mestia, taking a private vehicle to the trailhead, bypassing the less scenic construction zones. The drive itself is an adventure, winding through the lush landscapes of Svaneti. Upon arrival, a mild 2-km (1.24 miles) hike awaits, leading you through dense forests and over large stones, a path that reveals the stunning vistas of the region.
As the forest clears, the grandeur of Chalaadi Glacier unfolds before you. Here, amid the silence of the highlands, witness the birth of rivers as ice melts and trickles down the massive glacier. While the hike is accessible, remain vigilant for potential falling rocks and the rare presence of wildlife, such as bears and wolves, which adds a thrilling edge to your trip.
For those seeking a more rugged experience, the Lekhziri Glacier route offers an extended 15-km (9.32 miles) challenge, requiring preparation and a permit, but rewards with less trodden paths and more secluded views. Regardless of your chosen adventure, our private tour ensures a memorable day in the heart of Georgia's natural splendor, filled with both tranquility and the pulse of wild, untamed landscapes.
