What to Expect Your adventure begins with a morning pickup from your accommodation in Mestia. Settle into a comfortable 4x4 vehicle—essential for the mountain roads—and start your ascent towards the Enguri Valley. First Stop: Mount Ushba Panorama Shortly after leaving Mestia, you’ll stop at a prime viewpoint overlooking Mount Ushba (4,710 m). Known as the “Matterhorn of the Caucasus,” its twin‑peaked, sheer ridges dominate the skyline. Your guide will explain why this mountain holds legendary status in Svaneti and share tales of the daring climbers who have attempted its ascent. This is also your first opportunity to capture stunning photographs of the dramatic landscape. Love Tower Continue along the scenic route to a solitary medieval tower perched on a hillside. Locally known as the “Love Tower,” it is steeped in romance and local folklore. Your guide will recount the storey behind its name—a tale of forbidden love and family honour that echoes the traditions of old Svaneti.
