3. From Blue Lake to White Lake (foothills of Mount Chaukhi) – 2 km, hard difficulty level, this part includes hiking on gravel and rocks.
If you decide you cannot hike the last section, you can wait at the Blue or Green Lake.
Itinerary:
We will leave Tbilisi early in the morning and drive to the tiny, remote village of Roshka. In Roshka, we will leave our vehicles and start our hike.
The walk will take us through a beautiful, spacious valley. We will cross a small stream and gradually start hiking towards Mount Chaukhi, rising at the valley’s northern end.
Our first stop will be the tiny Green Lake, named after the color of its waters. A few hundred meters farther lies Blue Lake. This area is relatively easy to access, with a well-marked trail.
Further, however, the path becomes much steeper, covered with gravel that moves under your feet. It’s the most challenging part of the hike but also the most rewarding one. At the path’s end lies White Lake fed by the water sipping from Chaukhi Glacier.
Once we reach White Lake, we rest, enjoy the views, and eat our picnic lunch. In the late afternoon, we will head back to our vehicles. Return to Tbilisi. The end of the tour.
