A sacred landmark above the clouds
Perched at 2,170 meters, this 14th-century church offers one of the most iconic views in Georgia. Hike up from Stepantsminda for a rewarding climb, or take a 4×4 for a quicker ascent. On clear days, Mount Kazbek towers majestically behind it — a sight you’ll never forget
Hike to Gveleti Waterfalls
Nature’s hidden mountain gems
A short drive from Kazbegi leads to a gentle trail through a narrow gorge, ending at two cascading waterfalls. The larger one roars with power in spring, while the smaller offers a peaceful spot for photos and picnics

After a day of exploring, unwind in a cozy guesthouse with homemade khinkali, mountain herbal tea, and stories from friendly locals. Many offer balconies with uninterrupted views of Kazbek’s snowy crown
