Georgia - A Journey to Svaneti and Ushguli in Autumn

Описание: I had no idea what to expect from the country of Georgia. I had seen specials about the remote village of Ushguli, heard rumors of the beauty of Svaneti, but beyond that? It was a mystery. Friends who visited returned enchanted. But, I also had all sorts of misconceptions - was it dangerous? Was it corrupt? Was it flat or mountainous? Were the roads really as rough, the villages truly as remote, and the driver's as bad as everyone said?

Over 10 days, I rented a 4x4 capable vehicle with a broken bumper, a remote key that had a dead battery, and an old Subaru that had somehow found its way from New York to the country of Georgia. And yet, it was reliable, and took me down back roads and into Georgia's high country.

I quickly learned that the country was incredibly safe. The locals, wonderfully hospitable. The food spectacular, and the nature...well...the nature you can see for yourself.

Sure, things were a bit chaotic and the rules of the road a bit liberal. But, even when paused to fly my drone, with the trunk door up, locals would stop and ask if I was OK or needed help.

The food....the food was incredible.

And autumn as we made our way deep into the Svaneti region and to Ushguli and Adishi? Magnificent.
