Ushguli, despite its high altitude and rough roads, is a village that’s absolutely worth the journey.

Nice simple hotel. It's great for Ushguli. We placed our group after the hike, 25 people. Views of the Shkhara River from some of the rooms. Very beautiful. There is a cafe that is reasonably priced.

Ushguli. A place in Upper Svaneti, uniting 4 small settlements. Recently, a good road has been built here from both Kutaisi and Zugdidi. You can travel by almost any type of transport. The views along the road are really mesmerizing. In Ushguli itself, be sure to take a walk to the foot of Mount Shkhara. You can admire the majestic mountain, glacier and enjoy the noise of the mountain river. We were in early October. We were lucky with the weather, which is a rare piece of luck at this time of the year. It was sunny during the day (+26), but at night the temperature dropped to +3. So if you plan to spend the night visiting this place, be prepared for low temperatures. I advise all tourists staying in Georgia to visit this place. You will not be disappointed 100%. And the photos and videos taken both in Ushguli and on the way there will excite memories for a long time. I'll want to go back there more than once!

Amazing nature. Snowy mountain peaks, alpine meadows, the magical valley of the Inguri River. It is one of the three highest mountain settlements in Europe. It takes a bit of a long time, about 4 hours, to get to this village from the plains along the Inguri gorge, but the beauty of this road makes up for everything, especially since it was finally put in order on the final section and now you can get there by a regular car. By the way, planes fly to Svaneti from Kutaisi and Tbilisi. Vanilla Sky Company. I think it will be an interesting experience too. Tickets are cheap, but you need to buy them in advance.

It's a very beautiful village. Just like in the picture. The freshest air. Alpine meadows. You have to see it once! The Svan Towers (called the cat tower in Georgian) were amazing in scale. There are a lot of people who are engaged in exercise training. But there is no decent restaurant. The 12th century of adjustments is no joke. And families have been living in the houses by the towers for generations.

A fantastic place for its energy and natural beauty. Svan towers, glacier and Mount Shkhara.... I want to go back there again and again, but despite the fact that there are big problems with the service. The local Georgians just surprised me with their lack of practicality....The loot is lying on the road, bend over and pick up laziness.

One of the settlements located at an altitude of 2500 meters in which people live permanently. A beautiful place. Houses and towers of the 9th-11th century. I advise you to take a ride, you can safely drive by private transport.

If possible, you need to go. It's beautiful and colorful. The road is passable. If you use a rental car, ask if you can get there.

Awesome place, after the mountains of Svaneti you fall into the warm sea with wide sandy beaches. Moonlight path and songs until morning. Thanks to the Camping Blue Sea (Black Sea)

Georgia can safely bet 5 for everything!!!! But in Ushguli I was not at all pleased with stray dogs, in what condition they are there, it's very sad! The most beautiful places in the world and these poor hungry, sick dogs around.

Ushguli. The village is at an altitude of 2200 meters above sea level Before the trip, I watched Dede's film about Svaneti, their customs and way of life. I was charged, so to speak, with the atmosphere of killing men and stealing women. I'm sitting and thinking, is it okay to go there with my wife and child or not;) Go. In the evening, in Mestia, over a toast, the Adjarians who brought us said that we should have watched Svani's movie, it was more tragic. And they "shed a tear." And I waved it off in response, we can make dozens of such films in Siberia. And I realized from the eyes of the interlocutor that this was how the face began earlier - a bloody revenge or, in Svan, to take blood. Swans are sitting on a patch, drinking beer and discussing politics in the local language. Something about America and beyond is unclear. The son and the driver are talking about the pigs, which he was finally able to drive around the village. He waves his arms and gestures. Tornike asks if he has seen a boar. Yes! He shouts back, there's a big boar sitting around the corner. Piglet stops talking about politics, starts laughing at the discussion of pigs. You open top pages about Svaneti on the Internet and often read that Svans are sullen and taciturn. We talked on every street. Everywhere is fluent in Russian. In places it is very clean, correct and without an accent. Grandmother on the street, grandfather in the shop, monks in the monastery, builders. The latter were especially pleased that we came from Siberia. We had already left, but for a long time the echo of the local speech could be heard on the street, interspersed with Sibir Sibir and laughter. It is said that one of the sons of the community went to study at the Novosibirsk University of Architecture and Civil Engineering and brought his wife from Siberia. Others write about an artist who married a Kemerovo woman. The owner came into the cafe with his son, about the same age as ours. He greeted us: Hello! We greeted each other in return. He began to drag his son to get acquainted with Nikita, who put his feet on the floor and did not go. We're laughing, just like ours. A young hostess comes out, with a smile in Russian: boys, such boys. In general, the atmosphere is more friendly than in Batumi. Although we, in Makhinjauri, have excellent grandfathers. We bought a watermelon from one. A couple of days later, his wife says thank you for the delicious watermelon, to which he takes a slightly beaten, delicious melon and gives it to her;) They took corn from another grandfather a couple of times, then he came up to me on the street, greeted me by the hand, asked how things were going. I was comfortable in Svaneti. You need to go for 3-4 days, two is not enough. The Ushguli community is protected by Unesco, which pays for the maintenance of buildings and structures in their original form. But someone managed to draw the flag of Ukraine on a guarded house;) #ushguli #svaneti #svany #georgia #shkhara

If you have free time when visiting Georgia, be sure to visit here. This is really a corner of Georgia, which is not greatly affected by urbanization. Moving away from the village itself, you can enjoy nature in its pristine beauty
