Getting there

Car

If you are driving from Mestia, take the road heading southeast towards the village of Juta. The journey will take approximately 1-1.5 hours, depending on road conditions. Once in Juta, continue on the same road heading toward the Chaukhi Pass. The last stretch is a rough gravel road that leads to the foot of the pass, so be prepared for some off-road driving. Make sure your vehicle is suitable for such conditions. Parking may be available at the trailhead.

From Mestia, take a local minibus (marshrutka) heading to Juta. This service operates regularly and costs around 10 GEL per person. The journey takes approximately 2 hours. Upon arrival in Juta, you can either hike to Chaukhi Pass or arrange for a local taxi to take you closer to the trailhead for about 20-30 GEL. Be sure to negotiate the fare beforehand.

Hiking

If you choose to hike from Juta to Chaukhi Pass, the trek will take approximately 4-5 hours one way. The trail begins near the village and goes through beautiful landscapes, including views of the surrounding mountains and the famous Abudelauri lakes. Ensure you have proper hiking gear and enough water and snacks for the journey.
