The Expedition Narrative
Traverse the high alpine meadows and jagged shale escarpments of Kazbegi on native mountain horses bred for sure-footed precision.

Local Mountain Intelligence & Field Notes
- Opt for the dawn departure (09:00) to witness cloud inversions rolling through the Dariali gorge before ridge winds pick up.
- Wear wool socks and mountain boots with heels — subalpine morning dew can saturate lightweight running shoes.
- Our cavalry guides carry saddlebags packed with fresh local chkinti-kveli (spring cheese) and warm Shotis Puri bread.
