How hard is this trek
It is rated moderate, with 5 to 7 hours of walking most days on forest and ridge trails. No climbing skills are needed, but you should have some multi-day hiking experience.
What are the tourist shelters like
They are simple wooden park shelters with bunk beds and a shared cooking and eating area, used by hikers on the official Borjomi-Kharagauli trail network. There is no running hot water.
Can this be shortened to two days
Not on this route. Three days is the minimum to walk the St Andrew and Panorama trails with an overnight at each shelter rather than a long single push.
Does the trek run in winter
No. The park trails and shelters operate May to October; snow and closures make the route impractical outside that window, checked at booking for shoulder-season dates.
