Having explored the autumn and winter scenery of Western Sichuan, Nepal, Tibet, Hulunbuir, and the American West, Georgia's fall colors still amaze me😍 Today, I’m sharing my hidden gem hiking route!
✨Recommended route: Mestia Glacier Trek
📍Location: Svaneti region, northwest Georgia
🚩Altitude: 2000 meters (no worries about altitude sickness!)
🏔️Elevation gain: about 800 meters (beginner-friendly)
⏱️Suggested duration: 6-8 hours
💰Cost: about 100 Georgian Lari per person (including guide)
This route is perfect for hiking newbies! 👟 The scenery along the way is like a fairy tale:
- Layers of golden autumn leaves🍁
- Snow-capped mountains in the distance🏔️
- Occasionally encountering local shepherds and their flocks🐏
Recommended gear:
👗Three-layer clothing (big temperature difference between morning and evening)
🥾Lightweight hiking shoes (some sections are steep)
📸Bring a good camera (every shot is a masterpiece)
💡Tips:
- Best to visit in September-October for the most beautiful autumn colors
- Guide fee includes insurance, great value!
- There are small wooden huts along the way for rest☕
Although this route isn’t as famous as Western Sichuan, it’s definitely a hidden treasure in the Greater Caucasus Mountains! Can’t wait to do it again!
