Can we shorten or extend the route?
Yes. Each day can be adjusted, and regions such as Tusheti or an extra night in Batumi can be added, checked at booking.
Is this trip possible outside summer?
Yes, the route runs year-round, but November to April requires extra buffer days around the Military Highway and Svaneti sections in case of closures.
Do we need a 4x4 for the whole trip?
No. A sedan or minivan covers most of the route; a 4x4 is used for the Kutaisi-Mestia leg and any mountain sections affected by snow.
Can we visit Ushguli?
Ushguli can be added as a day trip from Mestia if the road is open at the time of travel, checked at booking.
