WEEKLY USHGULI
Svaneti is one of our favorite regions of Georgia. We regularly open new routes and create new tour programs for you in Georgia. We offer to go on a week-long hike in Svaneti in the Ushguli region. The village of Ushguli attracts tourists all year round with its unique view with a large number of famous Svan towers. Our Ushguli hike will touch non-tourist and unique places, where incredible views of the nature of Georgia will open up.
Difficulty level: average
Day 1
Our hike in Svaneti in Ushguli will begin with a walk through an authentic village, we will see the famous Svan towers up close and go further into the valley closer to Mount Shkhara, where we will set up our tent camp, cook a delicious camping dinner and get to know each other better under the crackling fire with a view of the colorful starry sky.
Day 2
The next day of the Ushguli hike, we will have a warm-up trek along the Shkhara glacier, where unusual views of the valley from above await us. We will overcome an interesting scree, make our way through dense vegetation and learn how to cross mountain rivers. After an easy trek, we will return to our camp, where we can recuperate and continue our week-long trek in Svaneti.
Distance: 9 km
Climb: 700m
Day 3
After a hearty breakfast, we will continue our journey on a tour of Svaneti. Next in line is the mighty Namkuami glacier, hiding from tourists if you look at it from the tourist trails. Our path is more interesting. Having climbed to Lake Namkuami, we will move higher, to the Nameless peak at an altitude of 3100 m. On one side, we will already be greeted by the Racha region, on the other - the already familiar Ushguli valley, and opposite will be the majestic Namkuami glacier. Having rested at the top, we will go down to the camp along a circular route, where you can find out what in the mountains is called the "Lift".
Distance: 16 km
Climb: 1000m.
