🌅 Arriving in the Mountains – First Impressions of Kazbegi

The road from Tbilisi to Stepantsminda (Kazbegi) is one of the most spectacular drives in the Caucasus — winding through valleys, alpine forests, and towering peaks. As I crossed the Jvari Pass, the air turned crisp, and Mount Kazbek’s snow-covered summit appeared in the distance like a guardian watching over Georgia’s north.

When I finally reached Boutique Hotel INSIDE Kazbegi, tucked just off Vaja-Pshavela Street, I was greeted by a breathtaking view: rolling green slopes, a silver river below, and the iconic Gergeti Trinity Church perched high above. The first word that came to mind? Wow.

The building’s architecture uses natural materials — stone, glass, and wood — blending perfectly into the landscape. Inside, you’ll find warm lighting, clean lines, and big windows framing the surrounding peaks.

The staff welcomed me with genuine Georgian hospitality and a glass of local wine. Within minutes, I felt like I had arrived home — if home happened to sit in one of the world’s most beautiful mountain regions.
