The next stop is Cross Pass. You will be amazed by the natural mineral springs and the orange sinter cascade at the pass.
From Cross Pass we head to Truso Valley, with a spectacular display of gorgeous scenery with steep slopes of the glacier valley and colorful patches formed by numeral springs.
Next, we hike to the Gergeti Trinity Church that is arrogantly erected on the background of Mount. Kazbek. This small church is an embodiment of the Orthodox faith that enabled human beings to build such a charming church at 2100 metres above sea level! Mount Kazbek, often called Mkinvartsveri, is the third highest mountain in Georgia and one of the biggest in the Caucasus. We overnight in a guesthouse in Stepantsminda.
The second day begins with Meteo Station that is located on the cliff and overlooks Gergeti Glacier. This is a huge building decorated with beautiful colors. We will stay overnight in the Meteo Station, with a warm welcome of spirits from the local operators.
The next stop is Sno Valley, distinguished by its abundance of stone sculptures. The valley is a warm-up for climbing the Chaukhi Mountains.
Chaukhi Mountains have plenty of steep cliffs, although at the foot of the mountains you can see the valleys that are carpeted with colorful flowers. We spend night in Meteo Station.
Then we visit Devdoraki Glacier. While climbing slowly up the birch forest you notice that the area is rich in sub alpine vegetation and on the way fine views of the glacier are offered.
The famous Dariali Gorge is one more ‘must see' place, with excellent birdwatching. This is truly an unforgettable experience!
