In the morning, we leave Tbilisi and head north into the mountains along the Georgian Military Highway. We will make stops at Ananuri fortress and Russo-Georgian Friendship monument, then cross the 2379m high Jvari (Cross) pass. Afterward, we will leave the main road and after a short off-road ride, will leave our cars at the Kvemo Okrokana village to make a 4-5 hours long hike in the abandoned Truso valley. After returning to our cars, we will ride to the Stepantsminda (Kazbegi) village, where we will enjoy a dinner and spend a night at the local guesthouse.
Today, we will ride a jeep to the incredibly photogenic Gergeti Trinity church, probably the most famous Georgian landmark.

Kazbek. Night at Kazbegi.
After breakfast, we will take a car to the Juta village. From here, we will hike towards the imposing Chaukhi massif (3688), known as the "Georgian Dolomites" and eventually climb to the 3341m high Chaukhi pass, which separates the Khevi region from Khevsureti. From here, we will descend to the colorful Abudelauri lakes and follow the trail to the Roshka village, where we will spend a night at the guesthouse.
In the morning, we will take cars and navigate the off-road descending into the Pshavi Aragvi valley. Then we will ride to the Magaroskari village, where we will switch to rafts and after a short instruction, float down the Aragvi river (difficulty II-III).
