Can this tour run in spring or autumn?
No. The Datvisjvari and Abano passes are snowbound outside roughly July to September, and the exact opening dates vary by year, checked at booking.
How rough are the roads really?
Unpaved mountain track for most of three of the seven days, with drop-offs and river crossings on the Abano approach. We use a 4x4 with a driver who works these passes regularly, not a general-purpose vehicle.
What is the accommodation like in Shatili and Omalo?
Family guesthouses with simple rooms and shared bathrooms. Tbilisi and Telavi nights are in comfortable hotels by comparison.
What does this cost for a solo traveller or a group of three or more?
The listed price of €2,190 per person is based on two travelling together. Solo and group rates are quoted at booking.
