After commuting to Juta, we will do a trek under the Chauchi massif, which is called the Georgian Dolomites and then we will reach the Chaukhi Pass.

Additional Information

The Chaukhi Pass, standing tall at 3341 meters, serves as the boundary between Kazbegi region and Khevsureti. Its allure stems from its proximity to the spectacular Chaukhi massif, featuring numerous prominent ridges. Beyond the pass, one can uncover fields featuring captivating stone structures (the Roshka stones), and the Abudelauri lakes - a triad of stunning alpine lakes, each showing distinctive shades of green, blue, and white. Chaukhi Pass ranks amongst the highest and most striking passes in Georgia. Join us on our trek from Juta village to Chaukhi Pass and back to truly understand the beauty that this place endows.

Highly recommended if you're in Kazbegi for a short few days - We highly recommend the trek from Juta to Abudelauri Lakes via Chaukhi Pass! We signed up for this short two-day hike with Mountain Freaks. We were assigned two guides, Keti and Dato. I understand usually it's one guide only and we were a special case. Our guides were energetic, very capable and professional, and fun to be with. We were well taken care of during our trip. We camped at the lakes so we hiked with tents and quite a bit of gear, which made it a little tough for less experienced hikers like us. However, it was totally worth it as the views along the way were breathtaking. Once we reached the Fifth Season in Juta, we were greeted with a picturesque view of the Chaukhi Massif framed by the valley slopes on both sides. Our hike took us through the valley towards and around the Massif, before we started the steep ascent and descent over the pass. On the way up we had the magnificent massif right next to us. On the descent we had the three beautiful lakes spread out across the land beneath our feet. There's practically zero tree cover throughout the trail though, so while the views are unobstructed you need to protect yourselves from the strong sun. We were hiking in early July which is the middle of summer, but surprisingly there was still quite a bit of snow on the pass, which made it a little more tricky to navigate. Overall it was a very memorable hike for us, as we had a good balance between difficulty and views. Stronger hikers can return to Juta on the second day via Sadzele Pass (we went back to Kazbegi from Roshka which was a long way round by car).
