Dress for churches
Bring a scarf and modest clothing for visiting Orthodox churches—scarves and wraps are often available at entrances but bringing your own is faster.
Prepare for rough roads
Vehicle access to Ushguli and some viewpoints can be slow and bumpy; bring motion-sickness remedies and expect longer drive times.
Cash for rural towns
ATMs are limited in Mestia and absent in many villages—carry cash for small purchases, museum fees, and tips.
Altitude and weather swings
Mestia sits around 1,500 m; higher viewpoints are colder—layering and a waterproof jacket will keep you comfortable.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction and ankle support for slate streets, village paths, and short hikes.
Layered clothing
Temperatures vary with altitude and time of day; layers allow quick adjustments.
