At Exoride, we've never had much time for mass tourism. What drives us is rugged terrain, panoramas that stop you in your tracks, and memories that don't fade. Our Georgia enduro expedition is the perfect example, and with the August 2027 departure already sold out, only one question is left: are you on the list for 2028?
One departure a year, not one more
This isn't a marketing line, it's a conviction. August is the only window when the ridges of the Greater Caucasus, sitting above 3,000 metres, are genuinely rideable. By focusing everything on a single session we can guarantee the essentials: an itinerary refined down to the last detail, and total immersion, far from the valleys crowded with groups in matching jerseys.
Nobody follows a script here. This is an expedition, put together by enthusiasts and ridden by people looking for as much soul as steepness.
The Greater Caucasus, a range few riders know
The route crosses three regions with distinct characters. First Khevsureti, a remote north-eastern valley with its high-altitude lakes and fortified villages. Then the Kazbegi region, dominated by Mount Kazbek, with its centuries-old church perched opposite the glacier. And finally Tusheti, the wildest of the three, where you can ride for whole days without meeting anyone.
In between: ridges at 3,000 metres, passes crossed with the help of pack horses, and altitudes of up to 3,500 metres reached by horse shuttle. No bike park, no waymarking, just shepherds' paths shaped by centuries of transhumance.
When horses lead the way
This is the image that sums it all up. You're at the foot of a giant pass, surrounded by snow-covered summits. No lifts, no tarmac. Just the silence of the high mountains and pack horses carrying the bikes where no vehicle could ever go. Luxury, Exoride style.
The supra, après-ride raised to a tradition
In Georgia the adventure doesn't end at the bottom of the trail. It carries on around the table.
After a day that has taken everything out of you comes the supra, the traditional banquet: melting khinkali, addictive khachapuri, and natural wines fermented in clay qvevri jars, as they have been for millennia. Georgian hospitality isn't a line in a guidebook, it's something you feel and see in the eyes of the people welcoming you.
It's that mix of honest fatigue, oversized landscapes and human warmth that makes this trip far more than a mountain bike holiday.
An expedition, not a standard trip
Eleven days, remote valleys, long days in the saddle and nights far from everything: this trip asks for solid fitness, comfort on technical ground and a taste for the unexpected. If you'd rather start with a shorter, more comfortable format, have a look at our other MTB trips.
Everything you need to know about the destination is on our Georgia page.
August 2027 is full. August 2028 is open.
Don't make the same mistake twice: the August 2027 departure is sold out, and registrations for August 2028 are already open.
And if you're a group of six or seven riders who would rather have your own dates, we also run this expedition privately, on request.
