About this activity

A full-day private hiking expedition from Tbilisi that combines cultural landmarks with high-altitude alpine terrain, culminating in a trek to Juta village (2,200m) in the Greater Caucasus. This route pairs historical sites like Ananuri Fortress with pristine mountain scenery and opportunities to explore the Chaukhi Ridge and alpine lakes.

We will pass Zhinvali Reservoir, Ananuri Fortress town, stop at the confluence of Black and White Aragvi, visit the Friendship Arch. And the main goal is the village of Juta, one of the highest points - 2200 meters above sea level. Where you can walk six kilometers one way, Chaukhi ridge is located near the village, you can see the mountain massif of Chaukhi lake on the visible hill of the Caucasus ridge, near the river Bakurkhevi. Surrounded by alpine territory.

Highlights

  • Drive past Zhinvali Reservoir and historic Ananuri Fortress town
  • Stop at the scenic confluence of Black and White Aragvi rivers
  • Visit the Friendship Arch monument
  • Hike to Juta village, one of Georgia's highest inhabited settlements at 2,200m elevation
  • Trek the Chaukhi Ridge with views of Caucasus peaks and alpine lakes
  • Explore pristine alpine meadows and high-mountain terrain

Insider tips

  • Start early in the day—the 12-hour duration includes both driving and hiking, so an early pickup maximises daylight on the mountain
  • The 6km one-way hike from Juta is moderately strenuous at altitude; acclimatise during the drive and bring steady pace
  • Chaukhi Lake visibility depends on weather; clear mornings offer the best panoramic views of the ridge and surrounding massifs
  • Bring layers—weather changes rapidly at 2,200m even in summer; the valley floor and ridge have vastly different conditions

Good to know

  • Private tour: dedicated guide and vehicle for your group only
  • 12-hour itinerary includes ~3–4 hours driving (Tbilisi to Juta and back) and ~4–5 hours hiking/exploration
  • Hiking boots, warm jacket, waterproof layer, and sun protection essential; water and snacks recommended
  • Mountain road is well-maintained but winding; not ideal for those prone to motion sickness
  • No specific accessibility notes provided; confirm mobility requirements with operator before booking
