Amazing 5-day trek to one of the most beautiful places in Georgia, Tobavarchkhili lake and further to Svaneti. First 3 days are spent walking to the lake, another 2 days takes crossing to Khaishi village in Svaneti.
Starting point of our trek, village Mukhuri. Trail starts by the bridge over Khobistskali river, on its right bank.
Possibility to camp behind the pass, but you will probably have to descent another 100m to get water.

You´re welcome :) But by "soon", I hope you mean summer 2016 - now there is still lots of snow on the passes..

what about going there in a second half of May? is it possible to see lakes uncovered with ice and snow at this period? or its just a waste of time?
also, what conditions is the path after lakes in? I mean is it visible and easy to navigate or better to make second part end up to Naguru?
besides, thanks a lot, You did a great work!

Hello, I think it is too soon - there shall be still too much snow on the mountain passes so it could be quite risky. Dont know anybody who visited those lakes so early in the season. Maybe route from Naguru could be open, but I recommend to contact Toba travel agency first.

thanks! think so too, but there is small hope, that the spring will be early this year, and we finaly could see such beauty

I know, but I just read every year about some tourists who get lost or even die on the route to the lake and I dont want this number to grow because of my guide.
Hikers familiar with winter trekking may be able to make it, but I certainly wouldnt recommend to do this hike in late May to ordinary hiker. But if you still decide to try it, pls let me know how it went, I would like to know how the route looks at this period.
