Chaukhi Pass Tickets and Tours

Kazbegi - One Day Trekking Private Tour to Chaukhi Pass 3341 m

Chaukhi Pass day trip

I was visiting Georgia for the first time and wanted a Caucasus Mountain day trip. Mountain Freaks offers a Juta Valley hike to Chaukhi Pass (3300m) which was just what I was looking for. My guide Keti got back to me right away, we met a day in advance to confirm logistics, and had a great day on the trail. I initially thought about doing this on my own, but I’m very glad I went with Keti. The trip to the trailhead is not rental-car friendly and involves some transfers and shuttles. The trail itself has several options and branches and river crossings that literally change by the hour (no joke). Managing the pace and expectations is tricky plus it’s nice to have a fun companion for the day. Keti got my 69-year old body to the pass and spent some quality time waiting for the clouds to dissipate and give us a view of the lakes. I was very glad I hired Mountain Freaks for the climb.
