About this itinerary
The Georgian Military Road brings reservoir views, Ananuri history and scenery towards Kazbegi into one journey. The focus is on discovering mountain Georgia through the road and its stops. It suits travellers who want to leave the capital and experience a different landscape.
A journey where the road matters
The scenery changes along the way, so consider more than the final destination. Weather affects access to some stops and mountain visibility; a clear view of Mount Kazbek cannot be guaranteed.
What awaits you
Untouched nature The journey will reveal the finest mountain views, among which lie the Zhinvali Reservoir, the “Arch of Friendship of Peoples” observation deck and the ancient Ananuri Fortress. You will learn the history of the old walls and explore the citadel grounds, and afterwards admire the stunning panorama of the Aragvi River gorge after crossing the Jvari Pass. You will try water from the Narzan spring, see what a travertine terrace is, and take photos from the best angles.
The past of the Military Georgian Road The Military Georgian Road is an ancient route linked to important events of bygone days. I will tell you about the towns of Queen Tamar’s time that the road passed through, about the reign of the Eristavis and the Persian invasions. You will visit the village of Stepantsminda at the foot of Kazbek, and by off-road vehicle climb to the Gergeti Trinity Church. There I will share facts about the fate of the church dedicated to the Holy Trinity and, of course, legends about the proud Caucasian giant, Mount Kazbek.
