Day 1: The High Pass of Goderdzi

Journey begins in Kutaisi. We’ll head south by minibus toward Goderdzi Pass (approx. 5 hours).

Since it's a long drive, our primary goal is to reach the high-mountain zone and settle into our guesthouse. Once the bikes are unloaded, we’ll head out for a ride toward Green Lake. The water is a pleasant temperature if you'd like a dip! For those with extra energy, we can extend the ride further along the ridge to catch the best views of the Lesser Caucasus before returning to the pass for dinner.
