In the morning we will pick you up from the centre of Kutaisi or from under your accommodation and set off to Kulbaka! We will drive through the town of Tscaltubo, over the Gelaveri Pass overlooking Okatse Canyon and the picturesque waterfall of the Rachkha. On site, in the village of Kulbaki you will be hosted by our friends, native inhabitants of these mountains. This area has belonged to the Gasviani surname for generations, and on the other side of the mountains to the Nachqebia surname, yes, yes these are the areas of our Kote, who will introduce you to the horse world of western Georgia. You will meet our kulback part of the team Giorgi, Irakli, Lasha. We guarantee that you will feel at home!
After a welcome coffee, tea you will be introduced to our horses and we will hit the trail!
This day our destination will be the area called Georgian Alaska because of the dense forest and the views of the rocky countryside piercing from between it. It is also the first section of the 30km trail to Lake Lebarde, which we win in the Special Edition of the rally Golden Fleece, The route follows a forest track, basically only used by skidding and timber removal teams and local shepherds.
The trail is quite varied, undulating up and down, while gently rising all the time and leading to the base of the lumberyard. Along the way there are several good places for fun gallops, the pace of the ride will vary. For a stopover we will stop in the field or just at the lumberjack base. We will have lunch unhurriedly, rest and then set off on the return journey.
We'll start with a short section where we'll lead the horses, before jumping into the saddles and moving on, also having a few opportunities to gallop. In the late afternoon we will arrive at the base in Kulbaki, where we will sit down to a delicious dinner.

Leads from Amalieti to Mount Khvamli and the Askhi massif
Horseback excursion: Day 2 - Amalieti
In the morning we have breakfast and get ready to leave. This day we set off for Amalieti, a lovely pass with views of the whole area. We have about 6 hours ahead of us in the saddle and a stopover at a shepherd's hut. The first part of the route takes us through increasingly dense forest before leading us out into open, green spaces. From there, we will follow uphill, with narrowing paths and a pretty meadow covered with ferns. Further on, we will delve into the forest, briefly jump off our saddles and lead the horses, before returning to the back of our mounts and heading out into the beautiful open area of Amalieti. From the peaks you can see the whole area, including the Aschi plateau, Mount Khvamli and, far below, Kulbaki.
Until recently, the Amalieti Pass was also an area where shepherds grazed their flocks, but for the last few years it has been almost completely abandoned. There we will stop for a longer stopover and then set off on the return journey. In the forest, for a short distance, we will again lead the horses and then continue on horseback. After leaving the mountain paths, onto flatter and more compacted terrain, we will of course take the opportunity to gallop towards Kulbaka. In the late afternoon we will arrive at base camp and, as usual, sit down to a delicious dinner. In the evening we will set off on our return journey to Kutaisi.
