In the evening, we’ll arrive at the guesthouse, where an amazing dinner featuring local cuisine awaits us, and then we’ll relax.

"Medium difficulty"—what does that mean?
В такие маршруты можно без опыта походов, но нужно быть в хорошей физической форме. Это длительные маршруты с достаточным набором высоты. Так же в некоторых маршрутах могут быть технически сложные участки или крутые уклоны. Рекомендуем идти в треккинговой обуви.
Точные описания маршрута вы можете посмотреть в разделе "программа": там обязательно указывается расстояние, набор высоты и наличие сложных участков.
If you're still not sure whether this route is right for you, feel free to email us :)
The scale is relative; use the distance and elevation gain as a guide.

Our tour guides
We're beads and seals :3
- AlinaFounder of t&H, Nature GuideA 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, MentorThe 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).
- NatashaEscortHiking instructor.
A fan of mountain and ski trips. She loves to hike long distances, run, explore new places, and take beautiful photos. - YaroslavTour guide and driver on some routesAn avid traveler, rescue worker, and avalanche safety engineer, he has worked as a mountain guide in the Khibiny Mountains and is currently working in Svaneti and Megrelia. He enjoys playing the guitar and singing.
- VovaTour guide and driver on some routesHe’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 guide on water-based expeditions; now he’s into professional mountaineering and arboriculture, and leads you on trails. - AnyaEscortA geographer by education, a photographer at heart, a guide by 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 herself 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.
“Hiking with me is warm, peaceful, and always authentic 🤍” - AlexWater Sports Instructor, Tour GuideHe has 20 years of hiking experience under his belt (not counting the backpack itself), including Category 5 water routes.
He believes that travel isn’t about the kilometers, but about the experiences, which is why he even chooses places to stop for a bite to eat where the view is just as enjoyable as the food. - FyodorEscortHe 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. - MashaEscortA 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. - KirillPaleontology Tour GuideA passionate amateur paleontologist and photographer. He loves and appreciates nature in all its diversity, especially plants and fish.
- АрвидасСопровождающий - натуралистВидит интересное там, где большинство проходит мимо.
Детство провёл в полупустынях Казахстана и лесах Беларуси, два лета — в тундре за Полярным кругом. Уже много лет исследует природу Грузии, ищет редкие виды растений и животных, увлекается макрофотографией и превращает обычный поход в небольшую экспедицию. Если по дороге встретится что-то необычное — скорее всего, именно это станет одним из самых ярких воспоминаний дня.
