Georgia: Kazbegi's Alien Landscapes

Lush green hillsides, snowy peaks, and year-round cool temperatures come to mind when I think about Kazbegi. Spanning the border with Russia, this mountainous region is one of the best in Georgia. Mount Kazbeg looms over the landscape above the small town of Stepandsminda, the last village before the Russian border. This scenic town serves as the starting point for exploring this region’s epic and weird beauty.

Kazbegi is a popular tourist spot for seeing natural sights without going too far off the beaten path. The famous Saint Gergeti Church towers over Stepandsmindi from its mountain lookout and gives amazing views of the valley. Despite that, it’s easily reached by road and is surrounded by a backdrop taken straight out of a storybook. If you’re willing to wait until sunset when other visitors have gone home, you’re in for an awesome show!

Kazbegi is Historic and Stunning

Being an important part of the old Silk Road, this region is rich with history and rare sights. Vibrant orange sulfur fields mix with green valleys to create a bizarre landscape that is truly special. There are few other places anywhere that can match Kazbegi’s strange and breathtaking scenery in one small area.

This region of Georgia has a countless number of gems to find without needing to venture too far. Accessible and beautiful, this is easily one of this amazing country’s best spots!
