Kutaisi to Kazbegi — Private Transfer & Mountain Tours
The drive from Kutaisi International Airport (KUT) to Kazbegi (Stepantsminda) takes about 4 hours 45 minutes over roughly 285 km, most of it along the famous Georgian Military Road. It is one of Georgia's great scenic drives.
Kazbegi is the classic Caucasus day trip — the Gergeti Trinity Church perched below a 5,000-metre peak is one of Georgia's defining images. The Georgian Military Road that leads there is an attraction in its own right, with fortresses, passes and viewpoints along the way.
The distance makes a same-day round trip long, so many guests choose an overnight in Stepantsminda or a multi-day tour combining Ananuri, Gudauri and Kazbegi. We stop at the best viewpoints and arrange the 4x4 up to Gergeti church if you want it.
