Tap to explore
Georgia is one of Europe’s best-kept adventure secrets.
Over 10 days we’ll hike beneath glaciers, raft mountain rivers, e-bike through the remote Truso Valley, ride horses beneath the Caucasus and discover one of the world’s oldest wine regions. We’ll cook traditional disheswith a local Chef, wander through medieval towns, explore ancient cave monasteries and finish the day in small, locally owned hotels where Georgian hospitality is something you’ll experience, not just hear about.
The mountains are spectacular, but it’s often the moments in between that you’ll remember most. Sharing homemade food around the table, chatting to locals over a glass of wine, warming up after a day in the mountains or watching life unfold in villages that have changed little for generations.
Every day feels different. From glacier valleys and white-water rafting to vineyards, historic towns and remote mountain communities, this is Georgia beyond the tourist trail.

7-8 | Long hiking or activity days, sustained climbs and descents, uneven terrain and consecutive active days.
9-10 | Our most physically demanding itineraries, featuring long days, significant elevation gain, higher altitudes and challenging terrain.
