A cold wind off the glaciers meets you as the minivan drops through the narrow cleft of the Georgian Military Road. By mid-morning the landscape opens: ochre travertines in Truso Valley, the stone towers of Ananuri on the roadside, and later the white silhouette of Kazbegi (Mount Kazbek) hanging over Stepantsminda.

Break in Stepantsminda
Arrive a day early in Stepantsminda to adjust and check gear; an extra night reduces altitude strain.
Layer for rapidly changing weather
Temperatures swing from sun to wind fast above 2,500 m — use breathable layers and a windproof shell.
Footing on scree and talus
Expect loose rock near passes — trekking poles and stiff-soled boots cut fatigue and slips.
Hydration and snacks
Carry 2–3 liters and high-calorie snacks; altitudes above 2,500 m increase dehydration and energy needs.
Sturdy hiking boots
Support and grip for rocky, uneven trails and scree on high passes.
Layered clothing and windproof shell
Insulating and waterproof layers handle sun, wind, and sudden temperature drops.
Trekking poles
Helps on steep ascents/descents and loose scree, reduces knee strain.
Daypack with hydration (2–3 L)
Carry water, snacks, sun protection and a basic first-aid kit for long days on trail.
