Common questions about ყაზბეგი

Is one day enough?

Yes — three hours each way with enough time for the church and photos. An overnight stay is more relaxed.

Do I need a 4x4?

Only for the climb to the church. You reach the village in your car, then hire a local 4x4 for the 20-minute climb — we arrange it.

Is the road dangerous?

It is a paved mountain road our drivers take weekly. In winter we monitor conditions and postpone if it closes.
