Itinerary description
On the first day of the 2-or 3-day hike from Bakhmaro to Goderdzi Pass you need to ascent to the Meshketi Range.
We descibe here a 2-day version passing a sattle soutwest of Mt. Zoti. In Bakhmaro start at the bridge below The PIONEERS and follow the Bakhvi river upstream. There is a beautifull shepards trail starting next at the end of the road below Buksieti. First it goes through the forest with a good water spring to refill the bottles and then closer to the river into the gorge. Cross the river - from July till September you will find a basic wooden bridge and follow the trail till Zoti Keli [2'000m].
From there you have a long ascent to the sattle and after that a long descent without a spring. The first spring we found on the summer road. From there follow the little ridge towards Mt. Gora. There is a spring at around 2'200m and towards the West is a nice spot to camp with a great sunset view. Alternatively, hike a bit further to the alp village of Gora at around 1'900m.
