Georgia 🇬🇪 Day trip to Kazbegi. 15 July 2026

Walking to Budget travel for the 2nd day of North and Eastern area of Georgia.

Our first stop is the Zhinvali water dam for a photo stop.

Dogs and the traditional open Bazar of souvenirs.

Driving a few kilometers further we stop at Ananuri castle. 

The Ananuri Castle Complex is a late-medieval fortress in Georgia that served as the primary stronghold and seat of the powerful Eristavis (Dukes) of Aragvi. Strategically positioned along the Aragvi River, it controlled vital mountain trade corridors linking central Georgia to the North Caucasus. This historical bottleneck allowed the Aragvi dynasty to collect taxes, build defensive fortifications, and play a major role in Georgia's regional feudal wars from the 13th to the early 19th centuries.

After the excursion in complex we are heading to the north. On the way we stop at place were 2 rivers (Black and White 

"Aragvi" mix). The next stop is Viewpoint of Gudauri. There is a wonderful view on Caucasus mountain range from the viewpoint. Then we visit Holy Trinity Church of Gergeti.
