About this trip

A relaxed two nights in the Truso valley west of Kazbegi, a wide river valley with mineral springs, orange travertine terraces, old stone villages and the ruined Zakagori fortress at its end. The walking is mostly flat, around 22 km over the middle day, and fits first-time campers and families with older children. The valley is a border-zone area, so we handle the paperwork.
