Day 1
We set off early from Tbilisi to reach the first sights by lunchtime: the Zagar Pass and Ushguli, one of the highest-altitude settlements in Europe. After checking in to the chalet we watch the sunset at the Koruldi lakes and properly unwind in the sauna with a hot tub.

Day 2
First thing we drive to the Becho valley for a hike to Georgia’s highest waterfall, Shdugra. On the way we admire views of Mount Ushba and pick mushrooms and berries (340 m of ascent, a 2 km trail). For lunch we visit a mountain trout farm for a well-earned rest with stunning views. On the way back we stop by Anaklia to watch the sunset over the sea.
