Itinerary description
This trek, starting in picturesque Truso valley, explores the Keli volcanic plateau - barren, rocky piece of land lying west of Georgian Military Highway. Only very few people ever come hiking here as this area is in the close proximity of the territory of South Ossetia and a permit from Georgian Ministry of Internal Affairs is needed.
The highlight of the trip is a crossing of two 3400m high mountain passes and visit of the glacial Kelitsadi lake.
