Getting there

Without a car

Travel first to Tbilisi, then continue by intercity coach or minibus to the nearest district centre. A local taxi or pre-arranged transfer is usually required for the trailhead near the trailhead. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

By car

From Tbilisi, follow the main national road towards the relevant region, then use the local access road. Check mountain roads for seasonal restrictions and post-rain conditions. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

Parking

Leave the car at a guesthouse, visitor centre or signed area in the last settlement.
