Getting there

Car

If you are driving from Mestia, head south on the road towards the Svaneti Range. Follow the signs indicating 'Svaneti Range' and continue for about 12 kilometers. You will enjoy beautiful views along the way. There are few small parking spots where you can stop and take photos of the mountains. Once you reach the trailhead, park your car there as the road may become rougher. Ensure that you have a sturdy vehicle as some parts of the road might be unpaved.

Public Transportation

From Mestia, take a shared minibus (marshrutka) headed towards Ushguli or the higher villages in Svaneti. The marshrutkas leave regularly from the central bus station in Mestia. The fare is approximately 5 GEL. The journey will take about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the road conditions. Ask the driver to drop you off at the closest point to the Svaneti Range. From there, you may need to walk a short distance to reach the hiking trails.

Hiking

If you are already in the vicinity of the Svaneti Range, you can start your hike from the village of Zhabeshi. Head north from Zhabeshi on the marked trails towards the mountains. The trails are well-maintained, but it is recommended to hire a local guide for better navigation. Bring sufficient water and snacks, as there are no facilities once you start the hike. Plan for a full day of hiking to explore the stunning views of the Svaneti Range.
