How to Travel from Tbilisi to Kazbegi: 5 Options

Let’s explore how to travel from Tbilisi to Kazbegi, how long it will take, and what budget to plan for. But before, let’s talk about why to visit Kazbegi (or Stepatsminda).

In just a three-hour drive, you can admire the majestic mountains of Georgia. The village itself boasts stunning views of Georgia’s most famous peak, Kazbek, a dormant volcano that rises to 5,000 meters.  Some tourists come to Kazbegi to relax in hotels (the most well-known and upscale being Rooms Kazbegi), but mostly to enjoy hiking or mountaineering. Popular trekking routes (leading to Juta, Kazbegi Glacier, or the Truso Valley) are easily accessible from here. One of the main attractions for visitors is the Gergeti Trinity Church, a 14th-century temple located at 2,100 meters. From this vantage point, guests can enjoy panoramic views of the village surrounded by mountains on one side and Kazbek on the other.
