Spend two days snowshoeing through Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park, overnighting in a rustic shelter and summiting a ridge with views of both the Greater and Lesser Caucasus. This guided winter trek combines mineral springs, conifer forests, and panoramic ridge walking.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A fine, cold light slides across the pines as you step from Likani gorge onto a crisp ribbon of snow. Snow crunches beneath snowshoes and the air smells of resin and mineral springs; the Borjomi valley opens and the track begins to climb. By dusk the group reaches Chitakhevi shelter, where a small wooden hut and a stoked fire feel deliberately simple and honest.
