Hikes in Javakheti
Shaori Fortress
A hike to the mysterious megalithic fortress of Shaori, perched on a mountain peak at 2735 meters above sea level
Lake Levani
A scenic high-mountain trek in southern Georgia to a hidden volcanic lake surrounded by the alpine expanses of Javakheti.
Javakheti, one of the most underrated yet deeply memorable regions of Georgia. There are no tourist crowds or postcard clichés here: instead there are pastures at 2,000 metres, a chain of volcanic lakes, lava fields, remote villages and wind that makes you want to fall silent. This is a land for those who seek quiet, space and a sense of the real.
This section is a selection of hikes and treks in Javakheti that start from Tbilisi. There are one-day routes travelling light and multi-day trips with tents and nights around a campfire. All routes are led by experienced guides, and along the way there is hot home-cooked food, care and freedom from fuss. The format suits both those taking their first steps in trekking and those tired of tourist clichés who want wild, living Georgia.
Which route is right for you: with views of volcanoes, by a lake or along the pastures? Choose one, and let's go
