History
Georgia was an early adopter of Christianity (4th century) and sits on historic trade routes including branches of the Silk Road; many churches and cave towns reflect continuous occupation from antiquity.
Conservation
Highland ecosystems are fragile; stick to marked tracks, avoid littering and use local services to support community stewardship of historic sites.

Carry small cash for local fees
Many smaller museums, monasteries and jeep drivers accept only cash; keep a few euros or lari for entrance fees and tips.
Layer for mountain microclimates
Temperatures can drop quickly above 1,500 m — pack a midlayer and a windproof shell for Kazbegi and high passes.
Wear grippy shoes for cobbles and caves
Old Tbilisi’s alleys and Uplistsikhe’s rock surfaces are uneven and slippery when wet; good soles reduce strain and risk.
Start early on the Georgian Military Highway
Traffic and cloud build-up later in the day; morning departures improve visibility at viewpoints like the Friendship Arch and Gergeti.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provides traction on cobbles, steps and the rocky trails near Uplistsikhe and Gergeti.
Layered clothing (base, midlayer, shell)
Protects against warm city afternoons and cold, windy mountain conditions.
Daypack with water and snacks
Keeps hydration and essentials handy during short hikes and site visits.
Passport and small local currency (GEL/Euro)
Required for entrances, jeep transfers and purchases at rural stops.
