Girevi

გირევი

A border village at the end of the Pirikiti valley road, and the starting point for multi-day hikes over Atsunta Pass to Shevsureti.

Girevi sits where two rivers meet and has a border guard post. The road passable by four-wheel-drive vehicles ends here. The village has scattered stone towers and guesthouses, surrounded by open alpine meadows suitable for short hikes. The trek from here over Atsunta Pass to Mutso in Shevsureti takes 3 to 4 days and is one of Georgia's most challenging trekking routes. Register with the border police in advance, carry your passport, and preferably travel with a guide or pack-horse team.
