Lekhziri River

The Lekhziri River is a powerful glacial river located in the Upper Svaneti region of Georgia. It originates from the Lekhziri Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in the Caucasus Mountains. The river flows through a dramatic and rugged valley, carrying cold, milky-white waters laden with glacial silt. The trek along the Lekhziri River towards the glacier is a popular route for adventurous hikers and mountaineers, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, including Mount Ushba. The landscape is wild and pristine, showcasing the raw beauty of the high Caucasus. Visitors should be prepared for challenging terrain and rapidly changing weather conditions.
