- ✓We cannot skip Ananuri Castle on your way to the town of Kazbegi. This complex on the Aragvi River is one of the best-protected fortresses in Georgia.
- ✓There is an incredible place that attracts many tourists – the white Aragvi and the black Aragvi have their own color, the rivers do not mix up and look like a black-white stream.
- ✓Gudauri sits at an altitude of 2,196 meters, offering spectacular panoramic views of the Greater Caucasus range.

- ✓The beautiful Truso valley, source of the Tergi River, heads west off the Georgian Military Hwy 17km south of Stepantsminda. It's dotted with ancient towers, abandoned Ossetian villages, and strange mineral phenomena, notably the Abano mineral lake that bubbles with carbon dioxide.

- ✓All eyes in this valley village face the hilltop 14th-century Gergeti Trinity Church and its neighboring belltower both of which enjoy glacier-capped Mount Kazbek as their backdrop.
