3-Day Svaneti Tour via Racha and Lower Svaneti
This 3-day journey is designed for those who want to experience several of Georgia's most iconic regions in a single trip. The tour starts from Senaki or Kutaisi, heading towards Svaneti via the stunning landscapes of Racha and Lower Svaneti. We'll ascend to the high-mountain village of Ushguli and continue to Mestia. For the return leg, we take a completely different route: descending from Mestia through Khaishi, visiting the Enguri Dam, and passing through Zugdidi. As a special finale, Sakartvelo Tours guests will receive a complimentary visit to the hidden gem of Papan-Tskvili Lake. Group sizes are limited, so early booking is essential.
