Gergeti Glacier and Kazbek Base Camp — 2 Days from Stepantsminda

Two days from Stepantsminda to the Gergeti glacier viewpoint and, for fit walkers, the Betlemi hut area at 3,650 m, with a certified mountain guide.

• —Guided trek from Gergeti Trinity Church up toward the Gergeti glacier, with an extension to the Betlemi hut area (3,650 m) for fit walkers
• —Certified mountain guide included for both days, with an altitude and safety briefing before you set out
• —One night in Stepantsminda splits the walking over two days instead of one long push from the valley floor
• —4×4 transfer saves the two-hour road walk up to Gergeti Trinity Church, so the trekking day starts higher
• —No technical climbing equipment required – this is a trek to the glacier and base-camp area, not a summit attempt
• —Small private group, guide carries first aid and communication equipment on the mountain

• · The trail reaches roughly 3,650 m at the Betlemi hut area; some previous hiking experience is recommended
• · Weather on Kazbek changes quickly, and cloud can close the glacier view even when the valley below is clear
• · Best season is June to September; snow and ice can block the upper trail outside these months, checked at booking
• · Bring sturdy waterproof boots, warm layers and sun protection, even in summer
• · The Georgian Military Highway can close after heavy snow or rockfall; check https://gtour.ge/road-status/ before travelling
• · This is not a summit climb – no technical mountaineering equipment is used or required
