A seven-day separately reserved loop from Tbilisi through Mtskheta and Stepantsminda, then Gori and Sighnaghi before the physical return to Tbilisi. It never crosses the Russian border or enters an occupied territory, and keeps Gergeti, Truso, cave sites, wineries and hikes optional.
Tbilisi & the High Caucasus is a 700 km loop (staffed road transport). It works best as a 7-day trip; the plan below is the 7-day version for June, built from 455 verified places, with planned transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.
