    Alternative of the most popular Georgian trek, which is by mine opinion even better than standard hike via Zhabeshi. This one climbs onto Zuruldi massif, descends to Tsvirmi village and then follows a new road leading to...

    From the center of Mestia up to beautiful Koruldi lakes and down from a different road. So you won't be bored at all.

    Great!

    This hike is difficult to go uphill and down, specially the first (and last) 4 km to (and from) the Cross, as it is very steep and slippery. It counts with a total of 21 km (and not only 14 km). There are 1336 m drop fro...
