Hiking Guide to Mestia-Ushguli in Georgia

Around the summer solstice is arguably the best time for hiking in the Georgian Caucasus. The hiking routes in the Caucasus during this season are undoubtedly among the top 10 hiking routes in the world✨✨✨. Fields of flowers bloomed everywhere, stretching from beneath the snow-capped mountains🏔️, their grandeur beyond description. Unable to secure a weekend train ticket from Tbilisi to Mestia, I spent two days in Kazbegi, trekking several short routes before finally reaching Mestia. For hikers planning to visit, it's crucial to purchase train tickets in advance either online or at the train station.
