The Koruldi Lakes hike is one of the most rewarding day hikes from Mestia. The trail starts directly from town and climbs steadily above the valley, passing viewpoints over Mestia, Svan towers, and the surrounding mountain landscape. As the route gains elevation, the scenery opens toward Ushba, Tetnuldi, Banguriani, and the high Caucasus range. The lakes themselves are small, but their alpine setting makes them one of the most photographed places near Mestia. This is a hard but non-technical hike, suitable for active travelers with good fitness. Horse riding can also be arranged on request for those who prefer an easier way to reach the lakes.

Along the way, travelers experience wide Caucasus views, medieval Svan towers, grazing horses, remote alpine scenery, and impressive glacier viewpoints. Horse riding from Ushguli can also be arranged on request, depending on local availability and weather.

The Mestia to Ushguli trek is the classic multi-day hiking route in Svaneti and one of the most memorable treks in Georgia. Over four days, the trail leads from Mestia through traditional Svan villages, alpine meadows, forest paths, glacier valleys, and high mountain viewpoints before reaching Ushguli, the legendary tower village below Mount Shkhara. This is not a technical climb, but it is a real mountain trek: travelers should be ready for 6–8 hours of walking per day, guesthouse accommodation, changing weather, and one important river crossing near Adishi. For hikers who want to experience Svaneti’s landscapes, village life, and medieval tower culture in one journey, this is the essential route.
