a two-day trip
Winter Bakhmaro
Let's go see a snowy fairy tale, hike in the mountains, have a snowball fight, enjoy delicious food, gaze at the stars, and stay at a cozy hotel.
There will be evening gatherings by the fireplace and warm, friendly company.
Getting to Bakhmaro in the winter isn't easy. But we've figured it all out!
The road to the village isn't fully maintained in the winter. The last 10–15 km are covered in snow, and only snowmobiles and snowcats can travel on that section.
We'll start by driving from Batumi in our car. Then, where the plowed road ends, we'll leave the car and transfer to a snowcat, which will take us to the hotel!

Program
Day One. The Journey
Departure from Batumi.
We’ll drive our car to the end of the cleared road. Then we’ll switch to a snowcat and “zoom” to the hotel. Along the way, we’ll admire the snow-covered fir trees and mountain slopes.

A Walk
We're going for a walk around the village. We'll head down to the river, build a snowman, look at the little houses against the backdrop of the big mountains, and then head back to the hotel for dinner.
The evening of the first day
We have dinner, drink tea, chat, play board games, and go to the bathhouse.
Day Two: Hiking
After a delicious breakfast, we’ll go hiking up the mountain.
We’ll decide on the hiking route once we’re there, depending on the weather and the amount of snow on the mountain.
The maximum distance is 10 km with a 500 m elevation gain.
Those who don’t want to go on the hike can stay in the village and walk at their own pace.
The trail is very beautiful; on a clear day, you can see the Main Caucasus Range, with snow-covered fir trees and small houses in the village below.

Our Tour Leaders
We're beads and seals :3
- AlinaFounder of t&H, Tour LeaderA biologist by education, a naturalist by calling. She’s great at organizing everyone and getting them excited about adventures.
She makes the most delicious camping oatmeal and tells stories about all kinds of plants, rocks, clouds, bugs, spiders, and birds. She loves seeing the spark of curiosity in people’s eyes and giving hugs. - ArtemFounder of t&H, Tour LeaderThe best driver in Georgia, according to our tourists. He loves exploring life and new routes, and hiking high up in the mountains (and he’ll drag you along with him).
- NatashaTour LeaderHiking instructor.
A fan of mountain and ski trips. She loves to hike long distances, run, explore new places, and take beautiful photos. - YaroslavTour Leader driver on some itinerariesAn avid traveler, rescue worker, and avalanche safety engineer, he has worked as a mountain Tour Leader in the Khibiny Mountains and is currently working in Svaneti and Megrelia. He enjoys playing the guitar and singing.
- VovaTour Leader driver on some itinerariesHe’s been hiking since he was 15.
He loves nature and the mountains, both new and old trails, sitting by the campfire at night, and sleeping in the mornings :)
He used to be a Tour Leader on water-based expeditions; now he’s into professional mountaineering and arboriculture, and leads you on trails. - AnyaTour LeaderA geographer by education, a photographer at heart, and Tour Leader calling. A geography teacher who ran away from class to the Far Eastern taiga to be with the bears—and ended up staying there :)
On a hike, she knows two main secrets: how to find a beautiful view and how not to lose yourself during a rest stop.
She loves trails with views, people with a sparkle in their eyes, and photos that capture the essence of the moment.
“On a hike with me, it’s warm, peaceful, and always authentic 🤍” - FyodorTour LeaderHe went on his first hike at age 11—with a cotton-padded sleeping bag and his grandmother’s sweater.
He has experience with winter, water, and mountain hikes of varying difficulty levels. He loves wild trails, swamps, rhododendron thickets, spending the night in a snow den, trail races, boxing, and swimming in icy water.
On hikes, he values good spirits, the beauty of the wilderness, humor, pushing his limits, and hot tea after a long day of hiking. - MashaTour LeaderA child of the plains and marshes, I’ve dreamed of living in the mountains since I was little and used to imagine that the clouds on the horizon were snow-capped peaks.
I’m thrilled by every little spider and leaf, and I try to share that excitement with those around me. For me, nature is my natural habitat :)
I can turn even the most boring walk into an adventure.
“Wait, let me take a picture”—that’s my life motto; I capture all the coolest moments through my lens. - ArvidasTour Leader NaturalistHe sees something interesting where most people just walk right by.
He spent his childhood in the semi-deserts of Kazakhstan and the forests of Belarus, and two summers in the tundra beyond the Arctic Circle. For many years now, he has been exploring Georgia’s nature, searching for rare species of plants and animals, pursuing his passion for macro photography, and turning an ordinary hike into a small expedition. If he comes across something unusual along the way, it will most likely become one of the day’s most vivid memories.
