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 Airport to Gomismta is about 97 km, but the number is misleading: the road is straightforward only as far as Ozurgeti, and the last stretch is an unpaved climb that takes longer than everything before it. You run north along the coast, turn inland into Guria, then wind up through forest onto an open alpine ridge at around 2,000 m. Gomismta is a seasonal scatter of wooden houses on high pasture, used for generations as an escape from the humid lowlands — no resort, no shops, just ridge, cloud and grazing animals.
Summer only: the track is usually passable from roughly June to early October and is not maintained outside that window — confirm with the driver before booking. A genuine 4x4 is required; this is not a road a normal car should attempt. Take warm clothes whatever the month, because cloud rolls across the ridge most afternoons and the temperature drops immediately. Carry water and food — there is nothing to buy. Phone coverage is unreliable, so fix the return time before you set off rather than planning to call from the top.
| Option | Door-to-door | Price | Time | Luggage / group |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Third-party options are listed for orientation only — OrbiTrip books private transfers. A per-car transfer is usually the cheapest door-to-door option for 2+ people with luggage; for a solo traveller on a budget the train or marshrutka may cost less.
Your driver tracks the flight and waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign; waiting is free if the flight is delayed. After booking you receive the driver's phone number — call or message on WhatsApp if you cannot find each other. Pay the driver in cash. Payment is cash only, to the driver; no prepayment.
