Me and my friend are going to Georgia for a seminar in late January and have a couple of free days to travel around the country. What do you think of going there in this season? Firstly, can we even get there and if so, is it possible to have a nice walk around to the church and other places? Do you have any idea how cold can it get there?

Thanks a lot in advance for your tips and info.

Hi Vladimir!

It is fully possible to travel to Kazbegi in January, but you should try to explore the possibilities a bit while being in Tbilisi.
The road to Kazbegi can be closed for maximum every couple of days every once in a while because of snow, but not more.

My friend visited Kazbegi in december and told that there were many meters of snow there already then. But I suppouse they keep the jeep track to Stepantsminda church open—there are monks living there, they need food :) So I guess it will be possible :)
