Part of this route is unpaved and steep; it is normally open only from late May/June to October, and a 4x4 vehicle is required.
Batumi to Gomismta is only about 96 km but it is one of the slower drives in Guria, because the last stretch is an unpaved mountain track. You leave the coast, head north through Ozurgeti and then climb sharply onto an alpine ridge at around 2,000 m. Gomismta is a scattered summer settlement of wooden houses on open pasture, used for generations as a seasonal retreat from the humid lowlands — there is no resort infrastructure, just ridgeline, cloud and grazing. The road is the reason to book a proper car: the final ascent needs a 4x4 and a driver who has done it before.
This is a summer route. The track is usually passable from roughly June to early October and is not maintained outside that window — always confirm with your driver before booking. A 4x4 is not optional here. Take a warm layer even in August; at 2,000 m on an exposed ridge the temperature drops sharply once the cloud comes in, and it often does in the afternoon. There are no shops, so bring water and food. Mobile coverage is patchy on the ridge, so agree your return time with the driver before you set off rather than relying on calling.
