I'd so love to see this road (area) in the winter, I bet it was incredible and somewhat scary. I'm sure the mountains surrounding Ushguli looked incredible. Paradise - couldn’t agree more. 🙏😀

Fantastic info on the road up to Ushguli. We will arriving in Mestia in mid May,, so hopefully the road will be clear of snow and the worst of the water hazards. Will prob do it in a van as travelling with two others , and they won't want to tackle it on 2 wheels!

how was it?

I watched Chris and Marianne travel the same road in their campervan last September and it looked absolutely terrifying. However, you made it look relatively straightforward on your scooter, albeit some of the drops from the side of the road look scary enough to me. I can understand why Izzy didn't fancy it. The scenery looks absolutely stunning, as it always seems in Georgia. Thanks for another fascinating vlog.

Hi Kev, yeah we had so many mixed reports but as you know, it's a liitle different in a truck. All part of the adventure :)

I visited there recently, went on foot though, not sure if I would want to drive through it! You have a new subscriber 🙂

Really helpful Do you reckon itd be advisable to travel in mid September on a 4x4 rental (pathfinder maybe) with couple of toddlers on board

Thank you, September should be absolutely fine in any kind of 4x4. That said, the whole area is incredibly vulnerable to the weather, rainfall in particular causes landslides and can close the road for days. However, if the weathers been reasonably good I wouldn’t hesitate. The locals take it in their stride and deem it essential to keep the road open & have plant on standby to clear/repair the road. Have fun 😀

Do you watch the Itchy Boots vlog? I highly recommend it.

Hi, yep definitely go as it’s an incredible place but don't go before the beginning of May (it may not even be accessible before late May/June due to snowfall) and keep a very close eye on the weather & take local advice. Good luck 🏔😀
