The road climbs out of Tbilisi and into the Caucasus with purpose: steep switchbacks give way to windblown meadows, a turquoise dam appears below, and then towers and church spires puncture the skyline. On this full-day route you move quickly from reservoir views at Zhinvali to the fortified stones of Ananuri, across the classic Georgian Military Highway to Gudauri’s broad panoramas, and finally up to Stepantsminda where Mount Kazbek watches over Gergeti Trinity.
