The 4 Best Kazbegi Tours & Hikes

1.Round Trip Bus Transfer to Juta from Kazbegi

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 26 reviews · from $22Our pick

Take a shared Mountain Freaks van from Stepantsminda to Juta, a 2,200-meter mountain village below the Chaukhi range. Choose a 9:15 am departure with a 5:30 pm return, or an 11:15 am departure with a 7:30 pm return. The ride takes 30 to 40 minutes, with a planned stop at Sno. This is transport only, so you hike independently.

“Fantastic trip, very on time and you can easily hike to the lake within that time period from where you are dropped off. The initial hike from the official drop off point permitted by law to the town is not that bad, needing around 40 extra minutes each way. The views are stunning, it does really look like the Italian dolomites.”

2.Round-Trip Bus Transfer to Truso Valley from Kazbegi

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 24 reviews · from $22

Ride from Mountain Freaks in Stepantsminda to Okrokana, the starting point for a self-guided hike through Truso Valley. Choose a 9:15 a.m. departure with a 4:30 p.m. return, or 11:15 a.m. with a 6:30 p.m. return. Expect mineral springs, old villages, monasteries, shepherds, and Zakagori Fortress.

“Mountain Freaks, our company for our transfers was great. The hike was ok. It was sort of a Yellowstone Park light. To be fair we had just finished hiking the classic trail in the Svaneti and so we were a little underwhelmed. Probably wouldn't;t do it again. From what I've heard would probably try Juta next time.”
