Georgia Caucasus Mountains walking holiday

Planet

During this tour we choose shared transport where possible. By opting for trains and shared transport where we are able, we minimise our carbon footprint, ensuring a smoother, greener journey.

In Tbilisi, our base at Hotel Brim is the first hotel in the city to use solar energy. Using renewable energy sources to power our stay, reducing environmental impact without compromising on comfort.

Throughout our itinerary, we embrace the beauty of slow travel, with walking days integrated into the program on days 4 through 7, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in the breathtaking landscapes of Georgia. On day 8, a boat ride through Martvili Canyon offers not only a unique perspective but also a gentle reminder of the importance of preserving our natural landscapes.

With Georgia's diverse culinary heritage, you can always find a range of vegetarian options, and our curated menus for each meal ensure that everyone is catered for. Emphasising local, seasonal ingredients, and mindful portioning to minimise waste.

We only use experienced local mountain guides, and all entrance fees to the mountain regions are included and contribute to maintaining this beautiful area.

Finally, we are very proud to have partnered with Water-To-Go, specialists in personal and expedition water purification, instantly, and on-demand. Their unique, 350L water bottles incorporate advanced filtration technology to convert even the dirtiest water to drinking water as you fill up.

Being able to produce safe drinking water from sources off the beaten track, of sometimes dubious quality, offers incredible benefits to our adventure travelers and eliminates the need for single-use plastic bottles. We subsidise this product to make it more accessible to you.
