Kazbegi (Stepantsminda)

The Tbilisi to Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) transfer is 156 km, about 3 h 15 min on the Georgian Military Road, past the Zhinvali reservoir, Ananuri fortress and Gudauri, then over the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m. Ananuri and the Friendship Monument viewpoint near the pass are the classic stops. It's a mountain road, and in winter the Jvari Pass can close at short notice after heavy snow; if it does, your trip is moved or refunded. Going back the same day? Our Kazbegi, Ananuri and Gergeti church day tour includes the drive up to Gergeti.

A fixed price for the whole vehicle, with a named driver and car confirmed before you travel. The driving time shown excludes stops, traffic and weather — add your own stops: the price changes only with the extra distance.
