Preparation

Insurance
  • You’ll need active travel insurance that covers altitude trekking. It’s mandatory & worth it.
Food
  1. Start the day with a solid breakfast rich in protein and slow-release carbs. Recommended ratio: 68% carbs, 20% fat, 12% protein.
  2. You’ll bring your own snacks and dinner. Suggested daily intake: 2,200–3,000 kcal — for example:
  • 1 main meal (~600–800 kcal)
  • 4–5 small snacks (300–400 kcal each)

Meeting & First cross

  • Start: We are meeting in the central park
  • Walk to the ancient Fusdi church
  • Hike to the first cross. Expect a physical challenge, so we recommend pacing ourselves with an average tempo. We'll take breaks to hydrate and enjoy snacks along the way.
  • Making photos & having snacks at the first cross. Enjoy the panoramic view of the mountains, with a backdrop of Ushba and Tetnuldi. If you need extra water or lemonade, you can buy them in the tiny cafe nearby

Hike to Koruldi lakes

This hike is a bit more challenging than the one to the first cross because we will be walking outside the forest. However, the views along the way make it much more enjoyable.

Walking by Koruldi Lakes

Koruldi Lakes are located high above Mestia, providing stunning panoramic views of the Caucasus and beautiful reflections of snowy peaks. I’ll bring blankets, mats, and small pillows for those who want to relax.

Way to Mestia

The transfer will arrive as scheduled. On your way back, enjoy the stunning night sky, free from light pollution, as the mountains are incredibly dark.
