Georgia · HIKING TOURS IN KAZBEGI
Good hiking tours in Kazbegi fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 8 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Meet your English-speaking guide at Rooms Kazbegi at noon, then travel to Gveleti village for a short hike through a mountain valley to the big and little waterfalls. Luca, Luka, Lasha, and Soso have led this outing. The walk is manageable for most people, but good shoes matter if rain makes the trail slippery.
“Lasha was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable about the area. The hike to the waterfalls were breathtaking!”
Travel from Tbilisi to Kazbegi in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking guide such as Alex or Georgi. See Ananuri, Gergeti Trinity Church, Sno, Gudauri, and the Black and White Aragvi rivers, then hike 4 km to Gveleti’s waterfalls. Wi-Fi, winter 4x4 transport, and an optional home-cooked lunch add practical value.
“This tour was amazing because we got to experience different sites in one day! Alex was a wonderful guide and he provided good explanations about everything!”

Spend about 11 hours following Georgia’s Georgian Military Highway from Tbilisi to Gveleti Waterfall, with stops at Zhinvali Reservoir, Ananuri Fortress, and the Friendship Monument. A private vehicle, mountain guide, hotel pickup, bottled water, and a two-hour hike are included. Guides Zezva and Irakli have earned praise for their care and local tips.
“Before booking this trip I came across an endless amount of Kazbegi trips on viator, but I eventually decided to book this one as it seemed the most fun and it included the most spots. I have zero regrets and I’d go as far as saying this trip was one of the main highlights of my week in Georgia. The team is extremely professional they’ll get in touch with you with all the details and our tour guide Zezva was extremely friendly and very attentive to our needs and safety. I’ve already decided that next time I’m visiting Georgia I’m booking another tour with the same team and tour guide,…”
Spend about eight hours exploring Truso Valley from Stepantsminda with a private English-speaking guide. Ride by 4x4 to Okrokana, then walk 22 kilometers through mineral springs, natural pools, Kasari Canyon, Ketrisi, monasteries, and Zakagori Fortress. Guide Keti has helped less-experienced hikers handle demanding days with care and good local stories.
“We booked Angel Mountain and Juta hikes with mountain freaks, and our guide was Keti. These were the hikes of our lives. Not only did Keti help the two of us with little hiking experience to finish the hikes, but she also shared beautiful stories and background information with us. Words cannot describe how much joy, fun and awe we had on these hikes. She also cares genuinely about the environment and local community, which we really respect. This shows true love of the mountains and the experience. We already cannot wait to come back to Kazbegi, and would recommend hiking with Mountain Freaks to everyone!”
Join Mountain Freaks for a private, full-day trek from Stepantsminda to Juta and Chaukhi Pass. A guide such as David, Keti, or Dato leads the route beneath the Georgian Dolomites. Expect a long but non-technical hike, 4x4 transport, trekking poles, changeable weather, and big views toward Khevsureti and the Abudelauri Lakes.
“We went on a full-day trekking expedition at the foot of Mount Chaukhi. The trek was spectacular. Our guide, David, was fantastic (and really necessary)! We organized everything last minute, but they did an amazing job arranging a perfect tour! Highly recommended.”
Pick a ridge, a cellar or a gorge.
