Located in the northwestern part of Georgia, high in the Caucasus Mountains, the Svaneti region feels like a place untouched by time. With its dramatic landscapes, medieval stone towers, and deeply rooted traditions, Svaneti offers a rare opportunity to experience Georgia in its most authentic form.
One of the most striking features of Svaneti is its ancient defensive towers. Found throughout Upper Svaneti, especially in Mestia and Ushguli, these towers date back several centuries. They were built to protect families during times of conflict and now stand as symbols of resilience and independence. Each village tells its own story through these stone structures, blending history seamlessly into everyday life.
Nature lovers will find Svaneti truly exceptional. Towering peaks, glaciers, alpine meadows, and untouched valleys create a powerful sense of isolation and beauty. Traveling through Svaneti by camper van or camping vehicle allows visitors to explore the region at their own pace, stopping wherever the scenery feels right.
Svaneti is not just a destination—it is a journey into Georgia’s cultural soul.
