Georgia

Georgia isn’t just wine and mountains, it’s a collision of pagan echoes, Silk Road secrets, and Soviet scars. Here, monasteries cling to cliffs, eagles ride the thermal winds, and abandoned sanatoriums crumble beneath alpine peaks.

This is a place where you can descend into ancient cave cities, find Bronze Age petroglyphs etched into desert plateaus, or share homemade wine with shepherds who still speak in legends.

Our Georgia itineraries dive deep: from prehistoric rock art in the highlands to forgotten ghost towns near the Black Sea. It's not about luxury, it's about meaning, story, and wild immersion.

We handle everything from 4WD border crossings to mountain homestays. Georgia, raw and ritual-filled,  just how it’s meant to be seen.
