Juta Overnight Hike — Under the Stars Until Dawn
This isn't just a hike. It's a small, timeless journey: we walk through the silence of the night valley, breathe the cool mountain air, and wake up to views of Chauki.
Juta is one of the most stunning spots in Georgia, and seeing it at night changes everything. Easy transfer from Tbilisi, an expert guide, dinner, and breakfast on the trail — it's all included.

Hike Details
Easy two-day camping trip in the Kazbegi mountains
One of the most popular and scenic routes in Georgia — now in a "no rush" format!
Instead of racing through the route in a single day, we’re staying overnight by the lake: watching the sunset, swimming, chilling, sunbathing, eating well, drinking tea, and finally checking out the spots we usually miss on the one-day version.

The Plan
Day 1 — active but easy
Departure from Tbilisi: Saturday at 6:30 AM, an easy hike up to the lake where we’ll set up camp, have lunch, and relax.
And then — it's up to you:
— a side hike to distant waterfalls and the glacier
— or just hang out by the lake, swim, sunbathe, and walk around light
🗓 Day 2 — free and slow-paced
No rush and no camp breakdown in the morning. If you're up for it, join the day hike. Prefer to chill? Stay at the camp: relax, play board games, take photos, swim, and soak up the silence and mountain air.
Later in the afternoon, we head down and return to Tbilisi: Sunday around 8:00 PM (maybe later, as there can be traffic entering Tbilisi).

Yes, we carry all our own gear, so we only pack the essentials.
Meals are included (dinner on day 1 and breakfast on day 2). Everyone chips in—guides and hikers cook together, and we'll set up a rotation for kitchen duty. For vegetarians, we scoop out your portion before adding meat, but keep in mind we don't use separate pots. You're responsible for any other snacks or meals you want to bring along.
Light, easy-to-pack snacks that are great for keeping your energy up on the trail:
There are springs along the route, but you should always have at least 1.5 liters on you.
Mineral water is best — Nabeghlavi or Likani are perfect choices.

We strongly recommend getting medical and/or sports insurance.
