Gito Plateau

Gito Yaylası

A high alpine meadow above Elevit, where clouds fill the valleys and the Kaçkar ridge rises above them. It is a favorite viewpoint for photographers.

Gito Plateau sits at about 2,200 meters on the ridge southwest of Elevit. Its open views often show clouds drifting over the valleys and the main Kaçkar ridge peeking through. From Elevit, it is about 30 minutes by car on a dirt road, or a 2-hour hike uphill. The road is rough, so a four-wheel-drive vehicle is recommended. The plateau has scattered wooden houses and small cafés. It can be combined with Elevit Plateau and Palovit Waterfall as a one-day route.
