Good to know

- · The Georgian Military Highway crosses the Jvari Pass above 2,300 metres; it is paved but winding, with switchbacks near [Gudauri](https://gtour.ge/georgia/gudauri/)

- · In winter the pass is sometimes closed for avalanche control or snow clearance; check gtour.ge/road-status before travel

- · Temperatures at [Gudauri](https://gtour.ge/georgia/gudauri/) and [Stepantsminda](https://gtour.ge/georgia/stepantsminda/) run well below [Tbilisi](https://gtour.ge/georgia/tbilisi/) year-round, so bring a warm layer even in summer

- · Driving time is 2h55 to 3.5 hours depending on stops and traffic; allow extra margin if you plan to continue to Gergeti Trinity Church the same day

- · If booking a return the same day, agree a fixed pickup time in [Stepantsminda](https://gtour.ge/georgia/stepantsminda/) before departure
