Tailor Your Trek to Your Passions
Design your perfect journey. We’ll match your passions with the landscapes, people, and stories of the Caucasus. Here are some examples of the types of adventures we can design for you:
🥘 Culinary & Wine Adventures
Taste your way across the mountains.
Sample traditional dishes passed down through generations, hike between homestays serving homemade cheese, honey, and wine, and learn to cook regional specialties in a local kitchen. In Georgia, pair your hike with a stop at a family vineyard. In Armenia, trek to ancient wine presses hidden in the cliffs.
Perfect for food lovers, home chefs, and travelers who want to savor the cultural richness of the trail.
🏺 History, Legends & Living Traditions
Walk through centuries of stories.
Follow ancient trade routes, visit 12th-century churches, hike past ruins from Silk Road outposts, and stay in villages that still preserve traditional architecture, crafts, and language. Our guides will help bring these places to life with stories passed down locally.
Ideal for history buffs, archaeologists, and travelers seeking depth and context.
🦅 Wildlife & Wildflowers
For the nature-curious and ecology-minded.
Trek through alpine meadows bursting with wildflowers, spot birds along forest ridgelines, and learn about the biodiversity hotspots you’re walking through. We’ll design routes to coincide with peak blooming seasons or wildlife migrations.
Great for naturalists, photographers, and quiet observers of the wild.
📸 Photography & Creative Focus
Hike with your lens—or sketchbook—at the ready.
Whether you’re a serious photographer or a creative traveler, we’ll build in time for golden light, scenic vantage points, and extended stays in photogenic villages. Want a professional photographer to join you? We can arrange that too.
Designed for visual storytellers, artists, and travelers looking for inspiration.
🗣️ Language & Cultural Immersion
Travel deeper through connection.
Learn a few key words in Georgian, Armenian, or Azerbaijani, pick up traditional phrases from your hosts, and explore the linguistic diversity of the Caucasus. Want to spend extra time in a particular community or learn from locals? Just let us know.
For travelers who want to go beyond sightseeing and truly connect.
🧘 Slower Treks & Mindful Travel
Hike at your own pace, with time to pause.
Designed for those who want fewer kilometers and more time to relax, reflect, or journal. Stay two nights in remote villages, join a foraging walk, or unwind at scenic camp spots. We’ll slow the tempo so the beauty can really sink in.

Tier 4 FAQ: All-Inclusive Private Trek
🔹 What makes this trek different from the other tiers or your guided group treks?
This is our most exclusive and personalized trekking experience. In addition to a custom itinerary and full logistics support, you’ll have a private guide, all accommodations and meals booked in advance, airport transfers, curated cultural experiences, and 24/7 support. It’s the most seamless and in-depth way to explore the Transcaucasian Trail—with a local expert by your side every step of the way.
Our group treks are ideal for people who want to explore our favorite parts of the Caucasus alongside a group of like-minded travelers. Our private treks are ideal for those who want to travel with friends, family, or solo; who want more flexibility on dates; or who want to explore specific interests and regions.
🔹 Where are these treks available?
We can design trips in each region, subject to our local team’s availability. If you’re interested in a specific region, let us know during your consultation—we’re happy to explore what’s possible.
🔹 Who are the guides?
Our guides are local experts who work with the TCT directly—some have even helped build the trail you’ll be walking. They’re deeply familiar with the landscapes, cultures, and logistics of trekking in the Caucasus, and they’re trained to keep your experience safe, meaningful, and unforgettable.
🔹 How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 2–3 months in advance, especially for peak season (June–September). For trips with more complex logistics or special interests (photography, culinary focus, etc.), even earlier is better to ensure availability.
🔹 Can I make changes after booking?
We’ll do our best to accommodate reasonable changes before your trip begins, depending on availability. Once bookings are confirmed, changes may incur additional fees. We’ll clearly outline your itinerary and terms before finalizing anything.
🔹 Is this trip suitable for children or older travelers?
Yes—these treks can be adapted for different fitness levels, ages, and accessibility needs. Let us know your preferences during the consultation, and we’ll design a route that’s both safe and enjoyable for everyone in your group.
