Prepare for altitude swings
Temperatures and conditions change quickly between Tbilisi and 2,170 m at Gergeti—pack layers and a windproof shell.
Wear sturdy footwear
Uplistsikhe and some monastery approaches have uneven rock and stone steps—grippy shoes reduce risk of slips.
Carry local currency
Smaller towns and market vendors may prefer cash (lari) for souvenirs and small purchases.
Plan for road conditions in winter
Mountain passes can be snowy and may require 4x4 vehicles; check seasonal road access before travel.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provide traction on uneven stone, cave passages, and monastery steps.
Layered clothing and a lightweight shell
Keeps you comfortable when moving between warm lowlands and cool mountain air.
Daypack with water and camera
Carry snacks, water bottle, and camera for frequent photo stops and short hikes.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
High-elevation sun and reflections from water make UV protection important in warmer months.
