Subaru Forester

Rent a Subaru Forester in Georgia for a Svaneti Adventure

Stone defence towers, glaciers above the rooftops and villages that feel suspended in time: Svaneti is the part of Georgia travellers talk about for years. Getting there is half the adventure, and the Subaru Forester from GIKO Travel LTD turns the long mountain drive into the fun part. It pairs Subaru’s symmetrical all-wheel drive with a smooth boxer engine and an automatic gearbox, so the climb to Mestia feels confident rather than nerve-racking.

Why the Forester Belongs in the Caucasus

The road to Mestia and beyond

Most Svaneti trips start in Kutaisi or Zugdidi, pass the turquoise Enguri reservoir and wind up the valley to Mestia. From there, adventurous travellers continue towards Ushguli, one of the highest inhabited villages in Europe. With permanent 4×4 traction and the Forester’s well-known ground clearance, you have a car that feels at home on steep grades, sharp bends and roads that change character with the weather.

Pack for hiking, not for compromise

A large luggage area takes backpacks, trekking poles and a camera bag for the Chalaadi glacier or Koruldi lakes hikes. Five seats keep a group of hikers comfortable, and the rear view camera helps when squeezing into a guesthouse courtyard.
