Check road clearance before off-grid stretches
Many access roads to lakes and campsites are unpaved and can be rough after rain; a campervan with moderate clearance reduces risk of getting stuck.
Book Prometheus cave and canyon boat rides ahead
Boat tours at Prometheus cave and Martvili can sell out in summer—reserve spots or arrive early to avoid long waits.
Use layered clothing and a waterproof shell
Temperatures swing from warm lowlands to cool mountain evenings; breathable layers keep you comfortable during hikes and nights in the van.
Carry local currency for remote sites
Small entrances and roadside vendors often accept cash only—keep GEL on hand for parking, food and small fees.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and grip for rocky canyon trails and short glacier approaches.
Waterproof shell and insulating layer
Protects against sudden rain in canyons and cool nights at higher elevation.
Headlamp and spare batteries
Useful for cave boat exits, late-night camp tasks and any unlit walks.
Portable power bank / dual USB charger
Keeps phones, cameras and navigation devices charged during multi-day drives.
