Georgia
If you travel around Georgia and want to see the mountainous regions, Svaneti is one of the most beautiful choices. Recently it becomes more popular among the international travelers, which is pleasant for us. Though sometimes everyone needs some time for tete-a-tete with own self, an undiscovered route and places, which are not featured at every second advertising board… In such cases we advise you to stay not in Mestia, the central and most developed settlement of Svaneti, but, for example, in Becho, where many one- or two-days routes start.
It’s impossible not to spot Becho on the way to Mestia. As the twin peak of Ushba mount appears in sight, you will see the bus stop and the sign showing directions to Becho and Mestia. Turn there, if you drive a car, or ask the driver to stop, if you are riding a minibus. The settlement is quite big as for the region: around 200 people live there, so you won’t have a problem with finding a guesthouse or a hotel.
A hike to Mazeri waterfall, which is actually called Shdugra, takes 4 hours, if you start walking from Becho. It is possible to reach it in three hours, but if you are not in hurry, take your time, enjoy the walk, and you will be there in four. Just try to start as early as you can. From the end of the village Becho you cross the bridge (walking or by car) and move forward. After passing by couple of other villages, after the hotel Peak Mazeri and Grand Hotel Ushba, you will notice the route marking. The one to the waterfall is marked by red and white.
