We offer a 9 days trekking tour to the newest and undiscovered treks of Racha and a very popular trek in Upper Svaneti.
The region of Racha – a highland area located in north-western Georgia. There are breathtaking landmarks with lots of amazing trekking routes. During our stay, we´ll have opportunities to try some healing natural Mineral Water Springs. The mountainous climate and numerous carbonaceous sodium-calcium mineral spring waters located in the valleys of the Buba and Chanchakhi Rivers, are used as medical drinks.
The region of Svaneti - home to high mountain peaks, thousand-year-old defensive towers, and an intense indigenous people who are trying to keep traditions alive.
Over the course of three days, we will trek 65km through the Upper Svaneti region, from Latpari pass (the pass just between upper and lower Svaneti) to Becho, the village located right at the foot of Mount Ushba. More than just a physical challenge of hiking up and over mountain passes, the trek will give incredible insight into the challenges the villages and their inhabitants have faced, navigating the fine line between modernizing and keeping past traditions alive.
