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.
Kutaisi Airport to Bakhmaro is about 90 km but the distance is misleading — the last stretch from Chokhatauri is an unpaved mountain climb and the drive takes far longer than the map suggests. You cross the Colchis plain, turn south into Guria and then wind up through forest to an open ridge at roughly 2,050 m. Bakhmaro is a seasonal settlement of wooden houses spread across alpine meadow, used for generations as a summer retreat because of its unusual air — sea and mountain climates meeting at altitude. There is no resort infrastructure in the modern sense; the setting is the point.
This is a summer-only route: the road is usually passable from roughly late June to early October and is not maintained outside that window. Confirm with your driver before booking, and insist on a 4x4 — this is not a road for a sedan. Take warm clothes whatever the month; at 2,050 m the evenings are cold and cloud rolls across the ridge most afternoons. Shops are minimal, so bring water and food. Coverage is unreliable, so agree the return time before you set off. The horse races in August are the busiest week of the year.
