Overview
“Land of a thousand towers” as they poetically call Svaneti, is a special place even for the Georgians. Svaneti is separated from the rest of the world by high mountain ranges, had been inaccessible for civilization, and maintained its identity for centuries. That is why now trekking in Svaneti especially attracts tourists due to its uniqueness of architecture, local customs, ancient medieval monuments and extremely picturesque mountains. Moreover, the Upper Svaneti region is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The route of climbing Laila, the main peak of Svaneti ridge, is technically not very complicated, but extremely stunning. The Main Caucasian Ridge and Mount Elbrus – the highest European peak are fully, spectacularly viewed from the top of the mountain. And during all the descent from the pass Chidzhi one can enjoy the fascinating beauty of Ushba – “Matterhorn of the Caucasus”.
Despite the breathtaking scenery and the relative simplicity of the route, Laila still remains unknown for many tourists. Because of the complexity of reaching Svaneti it was not used to be very popular earlier, but nowadays more and more people want to have a look at this hospitable corner of Georgia. Therefore, use a chance to visit the wonderful region of proud Svanetians until the crowds finally turn Svaneti into comfortable, infrastructural, but without its special spirit, place.
