The Georgian Military Road climbs to the Jvari Pass at 2,379 m. Early snow can arrive in late autumn; check the forecast and road conditions the day before.
Hire a driver
Roads outside the city are poorly lit, with livestock and landslides. A local driver is safer and stops for prayer and lunch.
Stay away from the boundary lines
Do not travel to Abkhazia, South Ossetia or areas right next to their boundary lines.
Dress for churches
Women bring a scarf and a long skirt; men wear long trousers.
