Best trails in Racha National Park

This trail is famously known as the Bottomless Lake. The path starts near the village of Glola and climbs straight up the mountain. You will be hiking through a quiet forest of native pine and beech trees. The trail then opens up into high-alpine meadows, which are famous for their fields of colorful Caucasian Rhododendrons. The reward for this climb is the panoramic view from the pass, where you get a spectacular vista of the Greater Caucasus range, including the distant, snow-covered peaks...

This trail follows a path through several distinct vegetation zones in the Greater Caucasus. The route begins in broad-leaved forests, then moves up through coniferous and birch forests. Above the treeline, the path opens into expansive alpine meadows renowned for their endemic wildflowers. The final section of the trail involves crossing exposed rocky ridges and glacial debris to reach the "bottomless" lake, situated in a high, rocky basin.

Start at the Shovi Resort and climb up into the mountains for view of Buba Glacier. You likely won't get close enough to the glacer to touch it, this is more of a view hike. The views are incredible! First you will hike along the Bubastskali river as the wide road narrows into a trail. Then you will head into a spruce forest before emerging into alpine meadows and glacier views.
