Moderate fitness is enough: walking at altitude near Gergeti Trinity Church and in Svaneti, plus several long driving days.
Can the trip be shorter?
Yes. See our 10-day Georgia in 10 Days and 7-day Classic Grand Tour for versions of this same route in less time.

A sedan or minivan for the lowland days, switching to a 4x4 for the Kutaisi-Mestia-Ushguli sections where the road requires it.
