Top Stepantsminda Outdoor Activities

If you love nature, this trip is definitely for you. Escape civilization, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the stunning scenery of the mystical Gveleti Waterfall. On this tour, you’ll hike through a beautiful green gorge, surrounded by rocky cliffs and breathtaking views of the Caucasus Mountains. A small path leads you through this tranquil landscape to the waterfall, where the sound of rushing water and the fresh mountain air create a peaceful and unforgettable experience. Note: In winter (October to May), the trail leads to the frozen Gveleti Waterfall, offering a completely different but equally magical view.

The most beautiful valley in Georgia. Within one active day, you can visit Zakagori Fortress, Keterisi Monastery and several natural monuments, such as travertine formations, Abano Mineral Lake and Keterisi Canyon. The valley is surrounded by rocky peaks, along with volcanic streams that are so eye-catching that you’ll hardly stop taking photos on every step you take.

Chaukhi Pass 3341 m is dividing Kazbegi region and Khevsureti. It is compelling due to a proximity of imposing Chaukhi massif with its many sharp peaks. At the other side of the pass, you will find meadows with intriguing rock formations (Roshka stones) and Abudelauri lakes - three beautiful alpine lakes with different colors (green, blue and white). Chaukhi pass is one of the highest and most beautiful passes in Georgia. We will do a trek from Juta village to Chaukhi Pass and back to show you how beautiful it is there.
