Question 1

What will the weather be like during our trek?

Accepted Answer

The best time to trek in Georgia is late May to early October, when the weather is warm, the mountain passes are accessible, and the trails are at their best. June to September is ideal for high-altitude treks like Kazbegi, Tusheti, and Svaneti. May and October are great for lower-altitude hikes, with fewer crowds and cooler temps. Avoid November to April for most treks due to snow and closed routes in the mountains.
