Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Enjoy two evenings at your historical Feature Stay hotel in the heart of Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital. Once owned by a noble family, it has played host to aristocrats, famous writers and public figures.
Visit the Tserovani Refugee Settlement in Georgia during an Exclusive Experience, where you’ll visit a jewellery making workshop aimed at providing employment to displaced women within the camp. Create a piece for yourself and learn about the issues surrounding long-term displacement.
Sample this region’s diverse cuisine, from a home cooked meal with a local family to a lunch of regional specialties in a refugee settlement in Georgia. Then, try organic qvevri wine made according to the world’s oldest winemaking tradition.
Discover ancient wonders during visits to the open-air archaeological museum of Qobustan in Azerbaijan, the magnificent cave town of Vardzia in Georgia and the Haghpat in Armenia.
Drive through the mighty snow-cowered Caucasus mountains, which provide diverse landscapes from lunar semideserts to forests and countryside. With expert guides and an exciting 4WD excursion, you’ll soak up the unique scenery in the best way.
Is this trip right for you?
Although the climate in all three countries is relatively mild, the temperatures in high-altitude mountain regions (over 2000 m) can be much lower.
This itinerary is densely packed, so you'll be busy squeezing in as many sights and activities as you can. Take the downtime when you can for relaxing or independent exploration.
On some days, there is a lot of walking between sites and around towns and cities, so make sure you bring comfortable walking shoes with good support.
There are some long travel days on this adventure. This is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow travellers and enjoy the passing scenery. Some activities, including the trip to the high Caucasus around Kazbegi, are weather and road condition dependent. Your leader will keep you up to date on any necessary itinerary changes due to local conditions.

Have visited over 75 countries, very happy with guide Pavel for our Caucuses trip: Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia. Pavel was very open about sharing information and really encouraged discussion and asking question. Excellent tour leader/guide, extremely knowledgeable and informative, as well as detailed, along with being approachable.

What an amazing experience. Probably the best tour I've done with Intrepid. The food was fantastic, the leader Iuliia was an absolute gem 💎. The 3 countries so different from each other but the most amazing scenery I've ever seen.
