Ushguli: Horseback Ride with Shkhara Glacier Views｜Georgia

Your adventure begins in Ushguli, one of the highest permanently inhabited villages in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After meeting your local horse guide, you'll set off toward Shkhara through the dramatic mountain landscapes of the Greater Caucasus. The route follows a scenic unpaved valley road and mountain trail, with views of alpine meadows, the Enguri River, Mount Shkhara, and the surrounding peaks.

The ride is relatively easy, but basic previous horseback riding experience is required. Riders should be able to sit securely, maintain their balance, and independently steer, start, and stop the horse.

The horseback route continues to the final point accessible by horse. From there, you can enjoy the views or, if you wish, continue independently on foot toward the Shkhara Glacier viewpoint. This walking section is optional and self-guided.

Afterward, you'll return to the horses and ride back to Ushguli along the same scenic route.

The experience offers a peaceful way to explore the landscapes around Ushguli and enjoy impressive views of Shkhara from horseback.
