Kazbegi is a place in the Georgian Caucasus you should definitely visit. It is your gateway for everything mountains have to offer. Mount Kazbegi is a dormant strato-volcano and one of the chief mountains of the Caucasus. It is the third highest mountain in Georgia and the seventh highest peak in the Caucasus Mountains. The name in Georgian is Mkinvari, which translates to "glacier" or "ice mountain". Mount Kazbegi is associated in Georgian folklore with Amirani, the Georgian version of Prometheus, who was chained on the mountain in punishment for having stole fire from the gods and having given it to mortals.

In this tour you will have to be chained in one rope with the professional Alpinists.

  Notes:  
 

We have to take the reserve day(s) (days: 6, 7) in Meteo-station in case of bad weather conditions and if we use them, we’ll have our trek in the morning of the 8th day.
• Overnight stay in the Bethlemi Hut (meteorological station). Living conditions at the high altitude meteorological station (3750 m.) are Spartan. We sleep on wooden bunk beds, and dine in a heated and lit communal area.
• You will have to bring your own sleeping bags, ascenders (Jumars), all trekking and alpine equipment, clothes and tents. Ropes will be provided here.
• Climate: There are frequently strong winds on Mt. Kazbegi. Better to have a protective face masks. It’s necessary to be in good physical fitness, because of the high altitude.
• Technical skills: Basic experience in moving on snow and ice is required.
• Food: Company will take care of all culinary matters. You have to take no meal with you (besides your own favorite stuff).
