Gudauri sits at 2,196 metres on the southern slopes of the Caucasus, surrounded by snowy peaks, winding mountain roads, and wide-open valleys. From skiing and snow activities to the scenic Military Highway drive, the region offers plenty to experience beyond the slopes. WanderOn’s Gudauri tour packages cover everything from the ski slopes to the Military Highway drive, with the best of the region included in your itinerary. Wide open runs, reliable snow from December through March, paragliding with the Caucasus spread out below, and Tbilisi two hours down the road when you want the city.
Georgia has become one of our most requested winter destinations because it delivers a proper ski resort without the price tag of the Alps or the crowds of a European mountain. The season is consistent; the resort is compact enough to navigate in a day and big enough to keep intermediate and advanced skiers occupied all week.
For anyone wanting to combine the resort with the capital, our Georgia tour packages build Tbilisi and Gudauri into one trip. Most of our groups do exactly that, since two hours on the Military Highway is not a commute; it is half the reason to come.
Gudauri Group Tour Packages from India
A Gudauri group tour package typically pairs the ski resort with Tbilisi and Kazbegi as part of a full Georgia winter circuit. These trips work well within WanderOn's fixed group departures where a trip captain travels with the group and the itinerary covers the capital, the Caucasus, and the mountains in one trip.
Customised Gudauri Packages
Not every group wants to fit into a fixed departure schedule. If your travel dates, group size or preferred pace doesn't match our group calendar, we build a customized Gudauri package on the same on-ground network, with the same accommodation options, drivers, and activity operators, but shaped entirely around your window.
Customized Gudauri packages run without a trip captain on the ground. If having one matters to your group, take a fixed group departure instead.
Places to Visit in and Around Gudauri
Gudauri is a resort rather than a sightseeing destination, but the surrounding area has enough to fill the days you are not on the slopes. For the full picture of what Georgia has beyond this mountain, our guide to places to visit in Georgia covers the country from Tbilisi to Svaneti.
1. Gudauri Ski Resort and the Upper Mountain
The upper lifts push above 2,700 meters to terrain most day visitors never reach, with views across the Greater Caucasus stretching as far as Kazbegi on a clear January morning. Non-skiers can ride the chairlift to the top purely for the view before coming back down.
2. Ananuri Fortress
An hour below Gudauri on the Military Highway, Ananuri sits on the Zhinvali reservoir with two towers, a church, and a wall running down to the water. The colour of the lake in winter light is the reason most photographs of the drive up look the way they do. All our packages route past it on the transfer, and it is worth a thirty-minute stop.
3. Jvari Pass Viewpoint
The road crests at nearly 2,400 metres before dropping into the Gudauri plateau, and the viewpoint at the top gives you the full width of the Caucasus in both directions. On a clear day in February, this is the kind of view that people photograph and then put their phones away, because photographs don't do it justice.
4. Kazbegi (Stepantsminda)
A further hour past Gudauri on the Military Highway, Kazbegi sits below Mount Kazbek with the Gergeti Trinity Church on the ridge above the town. If your Gudauri trip runs to five or six days, a day trip to Kazbegi is the obvious extension and the one most people wish they had built in from the start.
5. Tbilisi
The capital is two hours down the Military Highway and the standard starting point for any Gudauri trip from India. Most of our packages combine two to three nights in Tbilisi with the mountain, because the city and the resort cover the two things Georgia does best in winter. Our things to do in Tbilisi guide covers the city properly.
Gudauri Trip Cost from India
The Gudauri trip cost from India covers the package plus separately booked flights. Package costs across our Gudauri tour packages vary by duration, accommodation tier, and whether you join a fixed group departure or a customized trip.
January and February carry a premium over December. Flights from India route through Dubai, Sharjah, Doha, or Istanbul and vary significantly by city of departure and how far ahead you book. Send us your dates and group size for a full quote.
