Inguri Dam

1h
Admission ticket not included

Witness the sheer power of human ingenuity at the Enguri Dam, built between 1961 and 1987. As one of the world’s highest concrete arch dams, it stands as a masterpiece of 20th-century engineering. The structure is so sophisticated that its walls are designed to 'breathe' and slightly move to balance water pressure and temperature changes. You will be amazed by the stunning contrast between this massive, living engineering marvel and the brilliant turquoise waters of the reservoir. A true blend of high technology and raw nature!

Heshkili Huts

Experience the magic of the famous 'swings over the clouds' at Heshkili Huts. Perched on a mountain ridge high above Mestia, this spot offers a surreal, 360-degree view of the Great Caucasus peaks. It’s a place where you can feel the true freedom of the mountains while swinging towards the horizon. Whether you're capturing that perfect Instagram photo or simply enjoying the sunset with a coffee in hand, Heshkili provides an unforgettable atmosphere of peace and adventure.

Mestia

Finish your day in the charming capital of Svaneti. As evening falls, Mestia’s medieval defensive towers light up, creating a fairy-tale atmosphere. We will walk through the historic streets, where ancient traditions meet cosy mountain life. You'll have the chance to see the unique Svan architecture up close and enjoy a traditional dinner at a local restaurant, tasting authentic dishes like Kubdari. It’s the perfect way to soak in the local culture before resting for the next day's adventure

Admission ticket not included

Take a scenic cable car ride to Mount Zuruldi at 2,348 metres. You’ll experience the most iconic panoramic view of the legendary twin-peaked Mount Ushba. Enjoy the crisp mountain air and grab a coffee at the highest restaurant in the region, surrounded by the breathtaking giants of the Greater Caucasus.

Mestia

3. Tower of Love ( Ipari) Visit this lonely tower built on a riverbank rock. Legend tells of a girl whose fiancé died tragically while hunting. Her father built this tower for her, where she spent the rest of her life waiting for him. A powerful symbol of eternal love and devotion, it's a must-see stop on the road to Ushguli.

Ushguli

Step into a living fairy tale in Ushguli, the highest continuously inhabited settlement in Europe, perched at 2,200 metres above sea level. Nestled at the foot of the magnificent Shkhara Glacier, this UNESCO site is a place where time has stood still. Imagine ancient stone towers rising like giants against Georgia’s highest peaks, where clouds touch medieval rooftops. It’s not just a village; it’s a journey to the edge of the world, offering a rare glimpse into a mystical, high-mountain kingdom.

LaMaria Church

The Lamaria Church is a magnificent 6th-century (VI century) monument, making it one of the oldest and most sacred sites in the region. Perched at 2,200 metres above sea level, this ancient sanctuary has stood for over 1,500 years as the spiritual protector of Ushguli. It features remarkably preserved medieval frescoes and is surrounded by a defensive wall. This historic site offers a profound connection to Georgia’s early Christian heritage, set against the backdrop of the eternal snows of Shkhara Glacier."
