Georgia - Trekking, 4×4 expedition. around Zekari Pass, camping at #ZekariWindow

Treat yourself to something special! You won't find another place like this in the whole world! Mount Didmaghali 2580 m, Georgia, Imereti region, only 75 km from Kutaisi! Amazing alpine glades, post-volcanic Kvasakdara rocks and among this untamed nature, our mountain hut #Zekariwindow, our starting point for trekking expeditions and a unique camping spot.

Later in the trip, the tarmac will end and the gravel road will start! We will be going up higher and higher! The landscape will change very quickly. The flora will change from dense forests to alpine type glades! The locals call this area Imeretian Tushetia (a region of Georgia in the High Caucasus). In June, July, rhododendrons bloom in the glades! Pink, yellow, white, the mountains are then full of colour.

We will stop at the Red Glades to admire the mountain scenery. When we reach our base camp at #ZekariWindow We will pitch our tents. Our destination that day will be Mount Didmaghali 2580 metres, on which Saint Andrew himself posted the cross. We will climb the so-called Didmaghali terraces to an altitude of about 2450 metres!

We will start the second day with a breakfast prepared together. Then we will set off on a trek! We will take you along a scenic trail to the border of 2 regions Imereti and Javakheti. On one side we will be able to see views of the High Caucasus. With a clear sky we will spot the summit of Tetnuldi, Ushba, Shkhara, and on the other side from the Javakheti region the mountains of the Lesser Caucasus and the characteristic plains. 

On the third and final day of the expedition, after breakfast we will set off on a trek towards the pastoral settlement of Zegani. Our route takes us through alpine glades, offering 360-degree panoramic views. On the trail we have the chance to meet herds of wild horses, and the sight of them galloping is an unforgettable experience.

After returning to #ZekariWindow we will have a farewell mountain picnic. We will then pack up camp and set off on our return journey to Kutaisi.

We guarantee you something priceless - genuine Georgian hospitality, coming straight from the heart. For us, everyone who comes to us is a guest, not a tourist. We are happy to be your hosts and to represent our country.
