MOUNT USHBA
The inimitable Mount Ushba will become a faithful companion on our way. Unapproachable and capricious, majestic and proud, the true queen of the Caucasus - all these epithets refer to Mount Ushba, which has been called a legend of international mountaineering for many years
Three walking days of our unique hike in Svaneti await you. Accommodation in campsites, ascents and descents.
In addition to the top of Ushba, we will also cross the Gulichala pass to the top of Gul (2925 m).
