In the autumn of 2022, we set out to hike the Upper Svaneti section of the Transcaucasian Trail in Georgia. But the plans changed along the way and we ended up hiking all the way to the border of Armenia.
We hiked for a total of 36 days and around 500 kilometres through various mountain passes, villages, colourful forests and unmarked paths.
The trail through Georgia was brand new and not public yet. We were among the first people to try this thru-hike and it definitely had its challenges on its way.
If you are interested in the route resources check out the page of the Transcaucasian Trail Association:

If you need lightweight and packable food for your multi-day hike in Georgia, you can buy dehydrated food by Lazy Snark here -
https://lazysnarkadventure.com/?rs_ref=giYOaBy8
They have 8 main dishes (full portion, healthy ingredients, meat/veggie options), granola for breakfasts, meat jerky as snacks, drip coffee, fruit chips and energy bars. You can also buy it in all outdoor shops (Mplus, Outdoors, Oge, etc) in Tbilisi, and get courier delivery or postal delivery in Georgia.
If you use the link above to purchase meals, then I will receive a small commission at no extra cost to you! Win-win!
