Have you ever seen where a river is born? On our second day, we will start with one of the most popular hikes in Mestia — a visit to the Chalaadi Glacier, considered one of the easiest glaciers to reach in Georgia, located only 12 km from Mestia. The glacier itself is a spectacular glacial tongue about 6 kilometers long, originating from the slopes of the mighty Ushba and Chatini massifs. The trail begins with a peaceful walk through a beautiful mixed forest, then continues along a rocky path. As the forest ends, the trail brings us to the banks of the Chalaadi River, whose icy waters emerge directly from under the glacier. The final part of the hike leads across large moraine stones, creating an adventurous approach to this breathtaking natural wonder, and the whole journey from the bridge to the glacier and back usually takes a maximum of 4 hours at a moderate pace, including time for rest and photos.
