  • Gergeti TrinityThe track up to Gergeti is steep, loose and short.

  • Enguri damThe Enguri dam is 271 m and was the tallest arch dam in the world when it was finished.

Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Worth every rupee.

10 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. Would send friends their way.

Kazbegi on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.
