About the adventure
Caucasus trekking with the tent: Chaukhi Pass (3338 m), the Abudelauri lakes and Abano Valley. 9 days of authentic adventure in mountainous Georgia. Departure June 25, 2026.
The Greater Caucasus is like nothing else. Between the rock towers of Chaukhi and the wide silence of the Abano Valley, the days take on a different weight: the air is purer, the sky closer, the rhythm settles naturally to the mountain.
This is not an ordinary trekking tour. It is an extended version of the classic Juta–Chaukhi–Abudelauri route, enriched with a day in the Abano Valley – a rarely traveled valley you reach not as a tourist, but as a true hiker.
