Republic of Georgia Tours and Caucasus Trekking Trips

Explore the lovely and seldom visited Caucasus Mountains on a Georgia Trekking Tour!

A trip to Georgia makes you feel as though you’ve got one foot on each of two continents. Georgia marks its northern border — the Europe-Asia boundary — with mountains. The peaks of the northern Caucasus Range rise more than 16,000 feet in a 750-mile, serrated line between the Black and Caspian Seas. In this place where recorded history dates back at least as far as the eighth century, you’ll find a culture steeped in tradition but which manages to exhibit a modern outlook that embraces churches, mosques, and synagogues coexisting side by side.

Embark on a trekking adventure in Georgia, and you’ll drink in the sharp, clear air above timberline at 11,200 feet and visit dozens of stone villages that cling to the steep, green mountainsides. The residents of these hidden hamlets are the progeny of 2,000 years of conquest and survival, a history that has molded former mountain tribes into a hardy and proud people who delight in sharing their traditions. Get to know them by taking part in supras (feasts), where you’ll drink from wild goat horns filled with robust, homegrown wine and indulge in savory cheese bread. Or travel to Georgia by luxury train aboard the elegant Golden Eagle, with stops at Telavi — one of the oldest towns of the Kakheti region — and Tbilisi, a bustling capital filled with centuries-old churches and modern nightclubs. It’s not often you can bridge two continents by traveling to one varied, charming, and complex country.
