Tskhvandiri Lakes is one of the most challenging and extreme tours offered by Bisna.
The Tskhvandiri Lakes are located in Chuberi (Nenskra Valley), Zemo Svaneti (Upper Svaneti), specifically in the basin of the Dalari River, a right tributary of the Nenskra River. The Nenskra River itself is a right tributary of the Enguri River.
Our journey begins with a minibus ride to Tita, the last village in Chuberi. We start our hike from here, with the Tskhvandiri Range visible in the distance, its height seeming almost unbelievable from this vantage point.
After traversing several kilometers of unpaved off-road terrain, passing through a border checkpoint and a shepherd's settlement, we begin the ascent up the very steep slope of the Tskhvandiri Range.
The ascent is incredibly challenging and can be broken down into three sections:
1. Narrow ravine formed by a small stream — in this section, we primarily hike (and sometimes climb) over stones and rocks.
2. The extremely steep slope after the ravine — though short, this section is very steep and offers few handholds.
3. Steep field — this section tests our endurance, as the grass is slippery and handholds are scarce, similar to the second section.
Upon completing the ascent of these three sections (along with the transitional segments between them), we reach the campsite, located atop one of the "forks" of the Tskhvandiri Range, offering a stunning view of the Nenskra Valley.
From here, we continue our hike along the slopes of the Tskhvandiri Range, crossing it and descending to a frozen lake.
Another range must be crossed from the frozen lake to reach the First Tskhvandiri Lake. Extreme caution is necessary for this section. Finally, the First Tskhvandiri Lake comes into view.
We can establish a camp at the First Tskhvandiri Lake and explore the neighboring Tskhvandiri Lakes without carrying backpacks.
