The tour involves medium to long hikes on a mix of wide trails and narrow paths, with some steep ascents and descents. Surefootedness and good physical fitness are required. During the trek, participants will cross a glacial river, adding an adventurous element to the journey. It is recommended to bring a rain jacket for unpredictable mountain weather, sturdy hiking shoes, and hiking poles if preferred. For the Mestia to Ushguli trekking tour, only pack essential items that can fit into your backpack. Larger suitcases will be transported directly to your accommodation in Ushguli, as there is no support vehicle accompanying the trekking route. Lunches will be provided as packed meals from the guesthouses and enjoyed along the way. Accommodation during the trek generally includes warm showers, though in some guesthouses, bathrooms may be shared with other guests.
