tiakatty Ever since I’ve discovered the pleasure of trekking when traveling to a new country, I look for interesting itineraries in the nature when planning a new trip. This is how I discovered Svaneti, in Georgia. Here I did a three-day trek among glaciers, wild flowers and the typical Svan towers. Made with Steller

tiakatty Every day we walked for about 5-6 hours. The first part was uphill, and on the second day the hike up was particularly steep and challenging. Once on the top, we walked down to the valleys where the villages were. Made with Steller

tiakatty On the third day we had to rent horses to cross a stream. We tried to wade it, but the current was too strong and the water too cold to do it. Made with Steller

tiakatty The last 7 km were on paved road, so we decided to take a minivan (truth is I was a bit -a lot- tired) Made with Steller

tiakatty We arrived in Ushguli, the highest town in Europe inhabited all year round. And one of the prettiest. The final destination of our trek. Ushguli Made with Steller
