Travelers should have at least a moderate level of fitness and be able to hike up to 24 km on some days with elevation changes and uneven terrain.

Svaneti’s stone defensive towers and village clusters reflect centuries of highland clan life; Ushguli’s ensemble is protected as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
