Two unhurried days in mountain Svaneti. On day one we drive past the Enguri Dam and its turquoise reservoir to Mestia, walk among the Svan towers and visit the museum with its ancient icons. The night is spent in Mestia. On the morning of day two we hike to the Chalaadi Glacier, then climb to Ushguli, one of the highest permanently inhabited villages in Europe. We have lunch there and head back to Batumi in the evening.
