For hiking enthusiasts nature in Georgia a real treasure. As soon as you get there, you forget about the everyday routine. Having found ancient paths along the gorgeous river valleys, past ancient castles, resting on trails high in the mountains, a feeling of freedom, lightness and inspiration comes to you.
Many well-trodden paths have been used for years by the local population for walking cattle, hiding from enemies. You can choose both light and heavy routes. All of them allow you to admire the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus mountains, to see mountain valleys and glaciers that you didn't even know about. At the foot of the mountains there are many varieties of plants, birds and animals.
All hiking in Georgia starts in May and ends in October, but it is more comfortable in summer or autumn. When it gets warm, the snow comes off, but remains at high altitudes. The zone above 3700 m is called the zone of eternal snow. Winters in Georgia are much warmer in contrast to the North Caucasus, as the Caucasian ridge protects from Northern winds. Summer is hot on the plain, warm in the mountains. Short-term rains are a common occurrence.

Я мечтаю о пешем путешествии по Тбилиси, Батуми, Кутаиси, Местии, Боржоми, Бакуриани и Кобулети. Представляю, как поднимаюсь на вершину сванского хребта, наслаждаюсь видами озера Корульди и исследую старинные замки. Это не просто отдых, а возможность погрузиться в удивительный мир природы и истории Грузии.
Сейчас блага цивилизации одержали верх, и я не выдерживаю долго наедине с природой. Но, думаю, что попади я в Грузию, попробовала бы снова полюбить пешие походы. Во-первых, там чудесные природные пейзажи. Во-вторых, есть шанс попасть на ужин к местным жителям, а это очень заманчивое предложение.
Спасибо, за такой хороший разбор особенностей пешего похода и экипировки в зависимости от времени года в Грузии.
