Overview

Join us on an unforgettable expedition to the summit of Mount Kazbek (5,054 m) a striking dormant volcano that rises above the deep valleys of Georgia’s Kazbegi region. Straddling the border of Georgia and Russia, Kazbek is the country’s third highest peak and one of the most accessible climbs over 5000m. No technical skills are required, making it ideal for beginner and experienced climbers alike.

Our adventure begins in Tbilisi, Georgia’s vibrant capital, before heading deep into the Greater Caucasus range. We acclimatise gradually through scenic hikes in the alpine village of Juta and the rugged valleys around Stepantsminda and visit the Gergeti Trinity Church perched dramatically at 2,170m. Along the way, we trek to remote waterfalls, cross remote valleys, and spend nights in mountain huts perched beneath glaciers and jagged peaks.

The push to Kazbek’s summit involves glacial travel, roped sections, and a final steep ascent. Our efforts are rewarded with sweeping views over the high Caucasus including Ushba and Europe’s highest peak, Mount Elbrus. Supported by an experienced mountain team and careful acclimatisation, this expedition offers a serious but achievable objective for those with a spirit for adventure.

Is this holiday for you?

Climbing Mount Kazbek is a rewarding adventure that doesn’t require advanced technical skills, but it does demand strong physical fitness and stamina. Expect to walk for up to six hours a day over varied terrain—from easy trails to steep rocky paths, glacier crossings, and snow slopes—while tackling significant altitude gains. On summit day alone, you’ll ascend 1,400 m at high altitude, so preparation through regular hiking, trail running, or long-distance walking in the months before your trip will make the climb more enjoyable and achievable.

While prior mountaineering experience is an advantage, it isn’t essential—your guide will teach you all necessary techniques during the trip, including the safe use of crampons and an ice axe. You’ll need suitable cold-weather gear, such as a -10 °C sleeping bag, windproof clothing, and sun protection. With the right fitness base and a willingness to push yourself, this journey offers a spectacular and memorable challenge.

Why KE?

With more than 35 years' experience of running trekking and mountaineering trips all over the world, KE is your number one choice. This 10-day journey is designed for anyone seeking both physical challenge and natural beauty, combining cultural exploration with a demanding high-altitude ascent.

Day 2

Drive to Stepantsminda via Ananuri Fortress. Hike to Gveleti Waterfalls.

Show Details

We begin our journey along the renowned Georgian Military Highway, a historic route that winds through the stunning landscapes of the Caucasus Mountains and leads to the Georgian-Russian border. Along the way, we'll visit the Ananuri Architectural Complex, a 17th-century fortress overlooking the Zhinvali Reservoir. The complex includes two churches and defensive towers, with stone carvings that represent some of the finest examples of traditional Georgian art. As we continue driving through the high mountain scenery, we'll enjoy panoramic views of valleys, rivers, and rugged peaks. Upon arrival in Stepantsminda, a picturesque town at the foot of Mount Kazbek, we'll set out on a short hike to the Gveleti Waterfalls. The trail offers a pleasant walk through a narrow gorge, ending at the falls cascading into a clear mountain stream - a peaceful spot to enjoy nature before heading back to town.

Day 3

Transfer to Juta and trek towards Mount Chaukhi and ascent of Tetu Peak (3210m). Return to Stepantsminda.

Show Details

In the morning, we embark on a 40 to 45 minute scenic drive through the stunning Sno Valley, a narrow, winding road that takes us deep into the Greater Caucasus Mountains. Along the way, we pass alpine meadows, ancient towers, and traditional stone houses before reaching the remote village of Juta at 2160 meters. Isolated for nearly half the year by snow, Juta has preserved its centuries-old way of life and remains one of Georgia's most charming mountain settlements. From Juta, we begin our hike toward Mount Chaukhi, whose dramatic, jagged peaks have earned it the nickname "the Dolomites of Georgia." The trail gradually climbs to 2580 meters, offering panoramic views of Chaukhi's towering summit (3842 m) before continuing toward Tetu Peak at 3210 meters. On clear days, you'll be treated to breathtaking vistas of Mount Kazbegi and the snow-capped ridges of the Caucasus. We return to Juta the same way and drive back to Stepantsminda.

Show Details

Today we meet with the mountain team and drive to the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church. From there, we begin our hike to the Sabertse Pass, where you'll enjoy some of the most breathtaking views of Mt. Kazbegi (5054 m). We will overnight at the AltiHut, a distinctive mountain lodge perched at 3014m at the Sabertse Pass, just below the Gergeti Glacier. More than just a shelter, AltiHut is a welcoming alpine retreat, offering dorm-style accommodation, one of Europe's highest libraries, and a warm, communal atmosphere. Your main luggage will be transported by horse on to the Meteorological Station, where you'll spend the following night. You will need to carry a daypack with essential items for the day.

Trek to Meteo Station (3560m).

Show Details

Today's hike will take us from AltiHut to the Meteorological Station, following a narrow mountain trail that climbs steadily through rugged alpine terrain. The path winds past rocky slopes and sparse vegetation, gradually revealing sweeping views of the surrounding peaks. Eventually, we reach the old Soviet-era Meteorological Station, a weather-beaten structure that hasn't operated since 1989. Once used to monitor regional climate, it now serves as a shelter for climbers and trekkers navigating the high Caucasus. From its perch, you can take in dramatic views, rest from the climb, and reflect before continuing deeper into the mountains.

Day 6

Acclimatisation day for skills training and hike to Bethlemi Church (3900m).

Show Details

Ensuring that we are properly acclimatised is key to our summit success. We have set this day aside for a short acclimatisation hike to the historic Bethlemi Church, perched dramatically at 3900 meters above sea level. Nestled on the rugged slopes of Mount Kazbek, this remote sanctuary is not only one of the highest churches in Georgia but also among the most spiritually and culturally significant. The hike to the church provides a good opportunity to test our fitness and gear at a higher elevation. As we gain altitude, we get clear views of the surrounding peaks and the glacier below. When we arrive, we take a break near the church, using the time to rest, hydrate, and get used to the thinner air. Our guides will also provide skills training on this day, including instruction on how to use crampons, ice axes, and other climbing equipment.

Summit day - Mount Kazbegi (5054m).

Show Details

Early in the morning, we start our summit push to the top of Mount Kazbegi, standing at 5054 meters. The entire climb, including both the ascent and the return, usually takes between 10 to 12 hours. The route gradually becomes more challenging as we gain altitude, moving from hiking on rocky trails to navigating icy and snowy sections. The last part of the climb is the steepest and most difficult and requires roped climbing for safety. This section demands careful attention and physical effort to move safely. Once at the summit, we take in the expansive views before carefully making our way back down, following the same path.

Additional nights and transfers to/from Tbilisi Airport can be arranged at an additional cost.

Hotel contact details and an emergency number will be provided with your booking confirmation.

Meal Plan

All meals except two lunches are included in the holiday price.

Food & Water

Water from the taps may not be drinkable in all locations on this trip - please check with your guide. We recommend taking water purification tablets and a reusable bottle with a filter such as Water-to-Go, which can both be used to help make safe other water sources. Please note that we do not encourage the purchase of single use plastic bottles.

Georgians have a great culinary tradition and national specialties include the following: walnuts used in all sorts of ways, bean salads, aubergines and spinach dishes, layered bread and melted cheese, cured meats, fresh and pickled vegetables. They also have 500 varieties of local wines. Breakfast are continental style, with cereals, bread and jam, tea, coffee and sometimes eggs. Packed lunches are provided and will consist of bread and a variety of meats, cheeses, tomatoes and cucumber. There will also be fruit and biscuits. Dinner at camps are usually a traditional soup followed by vegetable and meat dishes with potatoes, rice or pasta.

Special Diets

Whilst we can cater for vegetarians, albeit sometimes with a more limited choice, we cannot always provide for special diets. Due to the nature of some of the trips that we operate and the countries in which we operate them, it can be very hard (and sometimes impossible) to cater for a wide range of dietary choices and you may have to supplement your meals with food/snacks from home. If you have specific dietary requirements please do speak to our sales team and they will be able to advise you whether or not we will be able to offer your specific choice. Please note that we are unable to provide separate menus and cannot accept liability for any problems arising from special dietary requirements or intolerances.

Accommodation

All accommodation in hotels is on a twin share basis. If you are travelling by yourself you will be paired with another single traveller of the same sex. Single rooms and/or single tents are available for a supplementary cost.

Accommodation at the mountain huts is in mixed dormitories. AltiHut (3014m) is newly built and offers simple but comfortable accommodation and good local food. There are a number of different sized shared dormitories, heating and running water. Meteo Hut is a very basic high-altitude hut with a large mixed dormitory and no running water.

If you are planning to extend your holiday, additional nights in Tbilisi are available on request.

Group Leader & Support Staff

The group will be led by a professional and qualified leader. Professional IFMGA local climbing guides, on a ratio of 1 guide to 3 clients, will lead the group whilst on the mountain (from Stepantsminda to Stepantsminda - Days 5 to 9).

Altitude

This holiday involves going to high altitude. During the course of your trip you will reach altitudes in excess of 3500 metres. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should read the advice on trekking at high altitude. You can also talk to one of our trekking experts if you have any concerns about altitude.

Spending Money

Approximately £150 (or equivalent US dollars, Euros etc.) should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses including your bar bills and reasonable tips to the support crew. If you intend to buy expensive souvenirs, you should budget accordingly (credit cards can be useful in this respect). Georgia's unit of currency is the lari. By far the easiest way to obtain your travel cash is from ATM’s using a credit card or a debit card. ATM’s are available in Tbilisi close to the group hotel or at the airport. Credit cards can be used to purchase goods and services in some shops, hotels and restaurants in Tbilisi.

Guidance on Tipping

Tips do not form part of the wages of local staff but they are very much appreciated. It is important to remember that tipping is voluntary and should be dependent on good service. It is best if the tip is given at the end of the trip by the group as a whole. We recommend that each group member contributes around £30 and that tips are then distributed between the local guide and support staff as the group feels is appropriate.

Beat the Jet Lag

Our holidays are normally designed with minimal 'down time' at the start of the trip, but having a day or two at the beginning will have the additional benefit of allowing you time to get over the stress of a long journey or travelling across time zones, leaving you refreshed and ready for your holiday. We can easily arrange for you to have additional nights and airport transfers.

Baggage Allowance

For this holiday you should take one piece of luggage, which should be a soft duffle bag and a day pack. For international flights please check your baggage allowance with your airline.

Group Size & Holiday Status

For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in the ‘Dates and Prices’ table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.

Passport & Visas

The information that we provide is for UK passport holders.

A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required, and you should have at least 2 blank pages for each country that you visit.

For other nationalities, please refer to your own Government website for the latest information.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents including vaccinations and health certificates (see Health & Vaccinations below), and visas for your holiday. Please ensure that you check the FCDO for the latest advice for each country visited before travel.

Visa Georgia

UK and USA passport holders do not require a visa for short stays.

Health & Vaccinations

Vaccinations

You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.

Severe Allergies

If you have a severe allergy please inform the KE office before you travel. We will do all we can to help, but we cannot guarantee an allergy free environment on KE trips. You will need to carry your own treatment for the allergy with you, as 'adrenaline auto-injectors' are not carried as standard by KE leaders and staff. You should inform your leader on arrival of your allergy, and let them know where you keep your adrenaline pen.

Preparing for your Holiday

It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking or climbing trip getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. This is a demanding trek and you need to be aerobically fit and also comfortable with walking up to 8 hours on some days, and possibly for 10 hours or more on the summit day. The best preparation for this trip is regular hiking in mountain or hill country. If this is not possible, we suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime and gradually increase your work rate as you get nearer to departure. Running, cycling and swimming are also good for developing better stamina. Whatever your preparation, before departure, we suggest that you try to fit in a number of long walks in hilly country. For this trip no technical mountaineering experience is required. Clients will be instructed in the basic techniques of glacier walking with crampons and fixed line climbing prior to the ascent.

Climate

Daytime temperatures in the lower valleys will vary between 20ºC/68ºF and 25ºC/77F at the times of year we operate this holiday. The weather in summer is generally excellent - with hot days, clear skies and little rain. In the mountain villages at around 2000 metres elevation, the night time temperature will fall to 10ºC/50ºF. As with any mountain region, cooler conditions and stormy weather cannot be ruled out at any time of year. In Tbilisi temperatures are much hotter in the summer months and can reach well into the 30's.

Travel Aware

As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office's ‘Travel Aware’ campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas. The 'Travel Aware' website provides a single, authoritative source of advice for all kinds of travellers and we recommend that before travel, all KE clients visit the official UK Government website at travelaware.campaign.gov.uk and read the FCDO Travel Advice for their chosen destination. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.

KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCDO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates directly from the FCDO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.

Single Use Plastic

KE do not encourage the use of single use plastic items. We are ensuring that our agents all over the world are working together to reduce the problem and educate those around them. We are leading by example in our KE office by reducing our plastic use.
