About this trip
Eight nights across two old Christian kingdoms of the Caucasus: Tbilisi and the mountains at Kazbegi, then by road to Yerevan, with Garni temple, Geghard monastery, Lake Sevan and Mount Ararat from Khor Virap. In at Tbilisi and out from Yerevan.
One of our Georgia tour packages from Kerala. Flights quoted from your city.
Who this version is for
For friends and couples with a longer break who like history and mountain roads. Tbilisi to Yerevan is five to six hours by road with the border, broken by the monasteries at Haghpat. You need a Georgian visa and an Armenian e-visa; Armenia’s e-visa rules for Indians were relaxed in 2026, so we check them when you book. In winter the road to Kazbegi can close in heavy snow.
Going from Kerala
From Kochi, Trivandrum or Calicut you change once, usually in Dubai, Sharjah or Doha, for Tbilisi.
The Christmas break brings snow to Gudauri for skiing and snow play, and cold days in Tbilisi. In the April–May summer break the valleys are green and the mountain roads open again. The Onam break is late summer, warm and settled, with the grapes ripening just before the harvest.

We made our decision on the trip very last minute. But they managed to book us a great stay in Munnar very easily and conveniently. Even when all the resorts were sold out and high priced, they booked us an amazing resort at cheaper rates than anyone else. Will surely choose them for any bookings or travel deals moving forward. Thank you guys so much for the remarkable services.

We, a group of seven members, recently had a thrilling holiday in Vietnam for 8 days. The entire itinerary, travel and accommodation arrangements were done by Team Ethan, led by Ms. Ruby. We had a memorable vacation at two destinations, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City, and the accommodation at both was very comfortable, with tasty food. The tour itinerary was perfect, with courteous and supportive local guides and comfortable travel by vehicle, and all of us really enjoyed the trip. Kudos to Team Ethan for arranging such an exciting trip.

Before you ask
What does this trip cost?
Price on request. Tell us your dates and we send you dates, hotels and today’s price.
Do I need a visa?
Indian passport holders apply for Georgia’s e-visa online, or enter without one when holding a valid US, UK or Schengen visa. Since 2026 every visitor also needs travel insurance for the whole stay. We apply for the e-visa and arrange the insurance.
When is the best time to go?
May to June and September to October are best: green valleys, then the grape harvest. July and August are hot in Tbilisi and lovely in the mountains. December to March brings snow to Gudauri, and the road to Kazbegi can close for a day or more.
