The rugged mountain town of Stepantsminda serves up serious outdoor adventures in Georgia’s Caucasus region. I’m especially impressed by three standout tours: The ATV trek to Juta Village delivers pure excitement with mountain panoramas (equipment included), while the wallet-friendly $49 horseback excursions offer a gentler way to soak in the dramatic scenery. For serious hikers, the guided Chaukhi Pass trek tackles an impressive 3,341-meter summit with transportation from town. Let’s explore the best tours this mountain paradise has to offer.
