Kazbegi & Military Highway is one of those places where the obvious plan and the good plan are two different trips.

We mapped a 3-day Kazbegi & Military Highway route ourselves, kept tight enough to actually enjoy it, built to avoid the Gergeti Trinity Church hike crowd from day one.

Everyone comes home from Kazbegi & Military Highway with the same photos. This is how you don't. Free to download, no catch, just don't leave it until the week before you fly.
