This route is one of the most popular treks in the country, making a perfect one-day trip from Stepantsminda(also known as Kazbegi) village towards the root of Mount Kazbegi that lies at 3,200 meters (10,499 feet) above sea level. During your trek, you will also pass Geregti Trinity Church, one of Georgia’s most famous landmarks. The trek can be challenging, as you need to hike 1,600 meters (5,249 feet) both ways, taking around eight hours in total. For an alternative, the village offers another, very easy trek to the Gveleti waterfalls just 7 km (4.35 miles) away.
