About this tour
This session follows the road and trail into the Juta valley, below the jagged Chaukhi peaks in the Kazbegi mountains. You ride along the dirt road up from the valley floor, then walk on foot towards the peaks through alpine meadows that fill with wildflowers in season. It ends in a Khevsur village, where stone houses are built for winters that cut the area off from the road.
The call opens with a sound check before the jeep sets off, then moves on foot once the road runs out, with time to take in the meadows and the mountains along the way. Questions come as the walk goes, and a short list of what was seen is sent afterwards.
This suits anyone drawn to mountains and villages far from the usual tourist routes rather than city streets. It also suits those who want to see rural highland Georgia without making the journey themselves.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

The road to Juta 21 min
The camera rides along with the jeep on the dirt road up to Juta, the guide narrating the valley as the road climbs higher into the mountains.

Toward the Chaukhi peaks 21 min
On foot from Juta, the walk heads towards the jagged Chaukhi peaks, the guide pointing out the ridge lines and how far the trail goes before the rock gets too steep to continue.

A Khevsur village 21 min
Near a Khevsur village, the guide talks with someone about daily life at this altitude, the stone houses built for winters that cut the valley off from the road below.
-
Your questions 18 min

-
A short list to keep 8 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Khinkali and Stepantsminda centre, worth a slower look.
