I travelled from Tbilisi, Georgia, to the village of Stepantsminda, near Kazbegi National Park.
The trip is an adrenaline pumping ride, at dangerous speeds, in martshukas (mini vans), without seatbelts, through the winding mountain roads of Northern Georgia.
The village of Stepantsminda is idyllic, surrounded by lush green hills, and snow tip mountains, streams, waterfalls, and ancient monasteries. I hiked up to one of these monasteries, greeting the cows, pigs, and horses as I went.
