The picturesque Chutkharo route commences from Mele village in Kvemo Svaneti (Lower Svaneti), located within the Lentekhi Municipality. Upon passing through the villages of Margvishi and Ghobi, the trail transitions into a forested ascent. Subsequently, the forest gives way to an alpine landscape, culminating in the crossing of a glacier at Chutkharo Pass. Situated on the Lechkhumi Range, Chutkharo Pass acts as a natural boundary, separating Lechkhumi and Racha from Kvemo Svaneti. Upon descending from Chutkharo Pass, hikers traverse the lengthy valley of Ritseula River, eventually concluding their journey in Sadmeli village.
The breathtaking mountainous vistas of Svaneti and Racha, coupled with the awe-inspiring views of the colossal rocky and snowy massif of Chutkharo, render the Chutkharo route one of Georgia's most picturesque and captivating hiking destinations.
