Duration: 4 days A good walker with a tent could comfortably finish this trek in three days, but if you want to sleep in guesthouses, you need to split it into four days. Difficulty: Moderate The first and last day are quite easy, but on both days between you will have to overcome considerable elevation. When to go: Best time to go is July-August. For people looking for a shoulder season - Atsunta pass usually becomes passable in the second half of June and shepherds leave the area with their herds in the first half of October. Accommodation: The tent is not necessary; you can sleep in guesthouses. Also, you they serve breakfasts and dinners and can also prepare a lunchbox. People often ask me if it's necessary to book accommodation in advance. The answer is - if you are trekking in July or August and have no camping gear, you should. The locals will probably find you some place to sleep even when they are full, but it may not be the most comfortable option. The easiest way to book is to ask guesthouse owner in your first village (usually Mestia) to make the booking for you, they have the necessary contacts. When to go: The season for this trek is from the beginning of June till late October. Each period has its pros and cons. In June, one can enjoy green meadows with blooming flowers, but there is a reason why everything is green, and it has something to do with rain. In October, you can admire colorful autumn foliage, but days are already much shorter and colder. Also, in the second half of the month, one can expect first severe snowfalls. The best time to visit is during July and August. Early September can also be really nice and free of crowds. Which way to hike: People usually start from Mestia because Ushguli is a great place to finish the trek - and it's always more fun to hike somewhere where you haven't been yet than drive to Ushguli and then return on foot. Also, it's easier to cross the dangerous stream beyond Adishi which should be done in the morning, when the water level is lower. The only disadvantage is that while in Mestia you can always find a driver, Ushguli is much smaller village so leaving it will be more difficult. How to leave Ushguli: If you need to return to Mestia, your best bet will be minivans making day trips to Ushguli. They are not always full and not all travelers want to go back on the same day, so there is a decent chance they will have a few empty seats on the return trip. They usually arrive at 10 or 11 am. and depart back towards Mestia around 3 pm. I recommend you to wait for their arrival and immediately arrange everything with the driver. Fair price for the trip could be 10-20 GEL (as the return trip costs 30 GEL). If you don't want to wait and decide to hire a whole car, it will cost you about 200 GEL. And, as always, there is the option of walking back and trying to hitchhike.
