The first steps onto the lakeshore trail bring the sound of hooves against packed earth and the lake's small wind-driven chop nudging at the reeds. Riders move in a loose line along Bazaleti's western shore, horses picking their way past low pines and open meadows while the Greater Caucasus foothills stand low and steady on the horizon.

Bazaleti sits north of Tbilisi in a shallow basin that has long been a seasonal gathering place for locals; its shallow waters and nearby farmland shaped village life for generations. Geologically the basin is modest—rolling terraces and grassy slopes more than dramatic cliffs—and the surrounding land supports mixed pasture, orchards and small woodlots. Culturally, the ride ends at an eco-focused farm-restaurant where seasonal vegetables, cheese and regional wines form the core of a farm-to-table lunch.
Expect a relaxed, beginner-friendly hour of riding followed by a leisurely farm lunch and time to stroll the shoreline. The operator provides private transport from Tbilisi, and the full program runs about 6–8 hours including travel. Practical notes: wear sturdy closed-toe shoes, bring sun protection and 1–1.5 liters of water, and pack a light layer for changing weather. Confirm helmet availability if you require one and disclose any back or heart conditions when booking.
This is a low-commitment way to trade the city for open air, local food, and simple trails that give a clear view of Georgian countryside life.
