Itinerary description

Hike towards Lagem pass from Ushghuli village. Trail is unmarked, got lost couple of times. To reach Lagem pass is around 10km, making it 20 km round trip. I haven't reached the top of the mountain because of the rain and lack of time. You can reach up to 3000 meters, hike becomes very steep towards the peak. Qear waterproof boots!

Follow the gravel to the left

When gravelroad splits into left and right, you should take right. I made miatake taking left, which made mw appear on the mountai. In the middle if two gorgea. only way to go back on track was to return. Heavy rain started and it was already late afternoon. So I cut my hike short and came back to the village.
