A gravel wind tucks at the car windows as the Georgian Military Road climbs away from Tbilisi; ridgelines open like pages and the Caucasus push their sharp teeth into the sky. The tour threads past Jinvali Reservoir, through river gorges where black and white Aragvi converge, and into the high valley of Stepantsminda where the Gergeti (Holy Trinity) Church perches above the village with Mt. Kazbek a cold-eyed presence behind it.
moderate.
9 hours.
Moderate fitness for short uphill walks and standing at viewpoints; long car time requires comfort with travel days.
The tour is approximately 9 hours (around 540 minutes) and typically departs from central Tbilisi with hotel pickup available.
Walking is limited to short hikes and viewpoints—Gveleti waterfall and Gergeti require uneven, sometimes steep trails but not technical climbing.
Higher stops like Gudauri and Kazbegi sit above 2,000 m where snow can linger into spring; dress for cold and check seasonal conditions.
There are roadside cafes and basic restrooms at major stops, but pack snacks and expect limited services in remote stretches.
The Georgian Military Road follows an ancient corridor used since classical times; many roadside churches and the Ananuri fortress date from medieval and early modern periods tied to regional defenses.
The highlands are sensitive to erosion and litter; stick to trails, avoid disturbing pastureland, and support local guides who practice low-impact touring.
RestinGeorgia operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
