After a great short stay in Tbilisi, we rented a 4x4 to explore the countryside of Georgia! Our first destination was Mestia in the far Northwest of the country.
Mestia is the perfect starting point to explore the Svaneti region which is on the southern slopes of the Caucasus mountains. Svaneti is one of the most beautiful areas in the entire country and there is a lot of great hiking here.
On our first day we did one of the most popular hikes in the area to Koruldi Lakes. There are several routes to get to the lakes and for the first few miles, we took a 4x4, jeep road. The road was in pretty rough condition after all the rain but despite all of my nerves and anxiety about the narrow, steep road with hairpin turns, we made it safely to our stopping point where we got started on the trail.
The jeep road actually continues the entire way to the lakes but it was late May and most of the road was covered in snow after the halfway point. We had always intended to hike the second part so we parked the car and made our way up the rest of the trail on foot.
It was an incredibly beautiful hike with amazing views in all directions of the rugged mountains!
