About the road from Tbilisi to Bakuriani
The drive from Tbilisi to Bakuriani covers about 180 km and takes around 2 hours 45 minutes. You leave the capital and head west, passing through Gori, then continue towards Borjomi, where the landscape shifts from dry plains to forested hills. After Borjomi, the road climbs into the mountains, winding through Tsagveri and past the Timotesubani church, before reaching the ski resort of Bakuriani. Most people stop at Borjomi park to stretch and see the mineral water springs, and some break the journey in Gori or at the Timotesubani church. A private car makes sense here because you can stop where you like, travel door-to-door with your luggage, and avoid the hassle of transfers, especially in winter when mountain roads can be tricky.
Tips for this trip
It's best to leave Tbilisi in the morning to arrive in Bakuriani by early afternoon. In winter (December–March), expect snow on the passes; drivers use winter tyres and the road may close for a few hours after heavy snowfall, so check conditions before you go. Bring cash for small cafes along the way, and if you're travelling in winter, pack a warm layer for the mountains. If you have children or extra luggage, let your driver know in advance so they can arrange the right vehicle. Your driver will handle the mountain roads, so you can relax and enjoy the scenery.
