With Wild Trails, you experience Georgia in a way you won't find anywhere else. Our routes are personally compiled and tested, in collaboration with family and guides from Georgia. Each trail is filled with authentic adventures that go beyond the beaten path. As part of all trails, you enjoy a traditional Supra (feast) with delicious Georgian wine, a chacha evening by the campfire, and unique local experiences such as a wine tasting or baking bread in a traditional oven. You travel in small groups, enjoy local hospitality, and discover a culture that we carefully share with you. Everything is safe and well-arranged, so you can enjoy an unforgettable experience worry-free.

This year is unique because it is our very first year! As a participant, you step into an exclusive adventure: you discover new, specially compiled trails that have never been offered before. Since it is a pilot, not everything may go perfectly—but that is also part of a real adventure. Together we discover what works, and your feedback helps us make Wild Trails even better. We will also be creating a lot of promotional material this year. In return, you travel at cost price this year, which makes it extra special and attractive.

July 20 to July 29

Your adventure begins on the first day. In Tbilisi, we enjoy a traditional Georgian dinner together, a perfect introduction to the rich flavors of the local cuisine and a moment to get to know the group better. You spend the night in a comfortable hotel, which is included in the price of the trip.

We have carefully chosen the travel dates so that they align well with the direct flights from Transavia from Amsterdam.

The Svaneti Trail is a challenging route designed for hikers with an average fitness level. Over the course of six days, we cover 80 km, with daily distances ranging between 10 and 16 km. The route has been carefully planned to balance ascents, descents, and distances.

The highest point of this hike is the Lagom Pass at 3,000 meters. However, the Guli Pass, at 2,974 meters, presents more of a physical challenge. For this reason, we’ve chosen to climb the pass with the assistance of horses that will carry our backpacks.

This hike takes you through steep climbs that add an extra physical challenge while rewarding you with breathtaking views of Europe’s highest peaks and the deep valleys of the Caucasus. In the day-to-day description, you can find detailed information on the distances covered and the elevation gains and losses for each day.

At Wild Trails, we work exclusively with local Georgian guides who know the region inside and out. Our guides are not just leaders; they are born and raised in the areas where we organize our trails. They have walked the paths countless times, speak the language (dialect) fluently, and are in close contact with the local communities. This not only provides an authentic experience but also a deeper connection with the culture and traditions of Georgia.

Additionally, our guides are professionally trained and certified. They have first aid certificates, are members of the Georgian Association of Mountain Guides, and have extensive experience in leading groups in the mountains. Thanks to their knowledge and experience, they know exactly what to do in unexpected situations, allowing you to fully focus on enjoying the hike.

With Wild Trails, you choose safety, authenticity, and a unique travel experience guided by the best local experts.

You'll travel in a small group of up to 12 people. This makes it easy to get to know new people, yet still have space for yourself if needed. The atmosphere is relaxed, and everyone shares the same love for adventure and nature. Whether you like sharing experiences with others or prefer time alone, there's always a place for your style of traveling.

Solo travelers: Feel free to sign up. We provide a friendly group atmosphere!

Important info: The trail definitely proceeds with a minimum of 4 registrations.

You will stay in authentic guesthouses with local families, where you'll be welcomed with homemade dishes and a warm hospitable atmosphere. In the guesthouses, bathrooms are shared. Expect no luxury but comfortable beds, delicious meals, and a homey atmosphere where you'll feel right at home. It's a great opportunity to experience Georgian culture up close.

During camping, you'll sleep under the stars at the most beautiful spots in nature. The meals by the campfire make it extra special: simple yet delicious dishes, sometimes prepared by the guide, sometimes together with the group. This unique experience combines adventure with flexibility; you can tailor your experience to your own desires, whether that's with the group or in moments of solitude for yourself.

In the accommodations, a double room is standard. If you are traveling as a couple, you will have your own room. If you are traveling alone, you will share a room with a fellow traveler. If you prefer a room to yourself, this is possible at an additional cost and subject to availability. Please contact us in advance to discuss the options.

From the start to the end of the trip, we take care of all necessary transportation. Whether you're being transported from Tbilisi to the start of the hike or between different locations—we manage it all. This means you can fully focus on enjoying the beautiful scenery and the adventure, without worrying about logistics.

For our hiking trails, good hiking shoes, comfortable clothing for varying weather conditions, and a sturdy daypack are essential. We will send you a comprehensive packing list after registration, so you know exactly what to bring. No camping gear? No worries, you can rent it from us.
