Our most demanding itinerary. A 550km loop of Kakheti with 6,545m of total elevation gain — averaging 78km per day across 7 days. This isn't a vineyard ride. The route covers the full geographical range of the region: the steep forests of the Gombori Pass, the flat speed of the Alazani Valley wine corridor, the exposed desert plains near the southern border, and the remote steppe tracks of Vashlovani and David Gareji.

7-Day Itinerary

1

The Gombori Ascent

Tbilisi to Telavi via the Gombori Pass: steep climbs, fast descents, dense Georgian forest.

2

The Alazani Valley

Telavi to Lagodekhi: flat, high-speed riding through the heart of the wine region with the Caucasus ridge on the horizon.

3

The Ridge Climb

Lagodekhi to Sighnaghi: a steady climb to the walled hilltop city above the Alazani plain.

4

Transition to the Steppe

Sighnaghi to Dedoplistskaro: the landscape opens up and the road south begins to feel serious.

5

Vashlovani Loop

Rolling hills and remote tracks on the edge of Vashlovani National Park — exposed, quiet, unlike anything else in Georgia.

6

The Desert Stretch

Dedoplistskaro to Udabno: moon-like terrain, desert plains, and the David Gareji cave monastery complex cut into the cliffs near the border.

7

The Return

Udabno back to Tbilisi: steppe tracks fading into the final paved climb back into the capital.
