Georgia in 4-5 Days
Arrival in Tbilisi
Late Night Arrival in Tbilisi:
Check-In at Gis Guest House: Touching down late Friday night, we headed straight to our cosy homestay in Tbilisi, ready for an early start the next day.
Day 1: Drive to Khvamli Mountain
Morning:
Pick Up Your UAZ Buhanka: Get ready to hit the road with your fantastic 4x4 ride from Overlando.com. This vehicle is perfect for the rugged Georgian terrain. We stopped of at a local supermarket and stocked up on enough provisions and fuel for the next few days.
Drive to Khvamli Mountain: This is a big drive, but totally worth it. The journey is filled with stunning landscapes that will have you stopping for photos frequently. It should take you around 6-7 hours.
Evening:
Overnight Stay on Khvamli Mountain: After a long drive, settle in for the night. The morning view is something you won’t want to miss. There are plenty of spots if you are confident enough to take the vehicle off the beaten track for a couple of hundred metres. We found the most beautiful spot, lit a fire and got settled in for the night.
You may think this is a bit far but we prefered to get the big drive done as soon as possible and work our way back over the next few days.
Day 2: Explore Khvamli Mountain and Oni
Morning:
Enjoy the Morning View: Wake up early to catch the breathtaking sunrise over the mountains. The fresh mountain air and serene environment are the perfect start to your day.
Afternoon:
Drive to Oni: After getting soaked in a sudden storm, we decided to head to Oni, a charming village nestled in the mountains.
Evening:
Stay at a Local Guesthouse in Oni: Experience Georgian hospitality at its finest. Our stay with a local family included indulging in delicious home-cooked meals and sampling homemade cha cha (a traditional Georgian spirit).
Day 3: Mravaldzali Church
Morning:
Drive to Mravaldzali Church: Head up to this picturesque church surrounded by stunning scenery. The drive itself is an adventure, with winding roads and beautiful vistas at every turn.
Explore the Church and Surroundings: Take your time to soak in the tranquil atmosphere and enjoy the breathtaking views.
Evening:
Overnight Stay by the Church: Spend the night near the church, enjoying the peaceful environment and stargazing in the clear mountain sky.
Day 4: Nearby Mountains
Morning:
Explore the Nearby Mountains: Spend your day hiking and exploring the beautiful mountain landscapes. The untouched nature and panoramic views are truly unforgettable.
Afternoon:
Drove to Tskhinvali: We used this time to head back towards Tskhinvali as it made out journey on the last day a lot shorter.
Evening:
One More Night in the Mountains or head back to Tbilisi: Spend your last night up there, soaking in the tranquillity and natural beauty or depending on your flight, you may chose to head back to Tbilsi.
