The four-day trek from Mestia to Ushguli is undoubtedly among the most famous and popular treks overall. The well-trodden trail winds through traditional villages, valleys with rushing streams, across beautiful open slopes, and over scenic mountain passes. Based on years of experience, we have shortened the trek by one day and added an overnight stay in Ushguli, the highest permanently inhabited settlement in the region. There, we spend the afternoon strolling through the ancient villages, and in the evening, we visit the local Dede cinema to watch Dede — a film about life in Svaneti in the early 1990s. In addition to the three-day trek, we’ve included three day hikes beneath Georgia’s most stunning giants, Shkhara and Ushba.
