Gudauri Winter Adventure via Ananuri and the Georgian Military Highway

  • Pick up from your hotel or any other place of your choice in Tbilisi.

  • Pass the historical city of Mtskheta and Jvari Monastery.

  • Drive along the famous Georgian Military Highway, where a stop at some of the main sights is a must.

  • Arrive at Jinvali Reservoir, a beautiful and peaceful lake in the middle of the hills.
