Tobavarchkhili lakes are much easier to get to than to pronounce. Located south of the Egrisi mountain range, this laidback trek puts you at the heart of the nomadic shepherd culture and dramatic mountain ranges of Georgia.
Who says you have to suffer while trekking? This journey is at a relatively low altitude and so the effects of the thin air will not be felt. The weather is great, the people friendly, and the views are unbelievable. The Tobavarchkhili lakes make for one the most enjoyable hikes in the world in a remote area of Europe.
The ideal time to take this trip is from the second week of July until early September. The official season is from the beginning of June (when the lake is still frozen), up until late September, but the ideal period is when there is the least amount of rain and clear/stable weather. Expect it to be sunny and warm during the day with relatively cold nights.
On the first day, we will be staying at a comfortable hotel in Kutaisi with warm meals, showers, and pleasant rooms. Once we leave the city behind, we will be staying in tented camps throughout the hike until we return once again to the city. Our experienced guides and assistant guides will be taking every step to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible, from the delicious and fresh food to the camping areas we will be sleeping at.
During the hike, you will have 3 meals, all energy based to help give you the required nutrients for hiking around 4-8 hours a day. (Need to contact supplier to know exact food)
You don’t need to be an experienced hiker to go on this trip. While it will be challenging if it is your first ever hike, some multi-day hiking experience before departing would make this trip more enjoyable.
At the relatively low altitude of 2700 meters, you can expect to feel almost the same as at sea level.
Endless green meadows, dramatic mountain faces, and the unique broad-leaved forests make the scenery during this hike unparalleled anywhere else in the world.
