Know before you go
- Passport required
- Dress code
- In winter, snow can close the road over the Jvari Pass. If it is closed on day 2, your guide takes you on another full-day trip from Tbilisi instead.
- Churches and monasteries ask visitors to cover shoulders and knees, and women to cover their hair.
- Rooms are twin or double, shared by two travellers. A solo traveller, or the third traveller in a group of three, has a room of their own; the price already includes it.
- After booking we will ask for each traveller's name as it appears on their passport, and your flight times.
- Children aged 3 and over pay the traveller price. For children under 3, contact us before booking.
- Day 2 is a long day of about 10 hours, with around six hours of driving on mountain roads.
- If your flight lands too late for the Old Tbilisi walk on day 1, it moves to the morning of day 3.
- There are no entry fees at the churches, monasteries and fortresses on this route; the cable car and 4x4 are included.
- Georgia's currency is the lari (GEL). Cards are widely accepted in Tbilisi; carry some cash for villages and markets.
- A passport valid for your whole trip, and a visa if your nationality needs one for Georgia
- Comfortable walking shoes: Old Tbilisi is hilly and cobbled
- A warm layer and a windproof jacket for Kazbegi, which is much cooler than Tbilisi even in summer
- A scarf, and clothing that covers shoulders and knees, for church visits
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- Some Georgian lari in cash
