Situated in the majestic Caucasus Mountains to the north, the Black Sea to the west and arid deserts to the south, Georgia is a diverse place. Thanks to its neighbours such as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia and Turkey in enriching its culture. Despite being a small country, it offers some of the most spectacular landscapes on the earth! It’s a top destination for skiing and snowboarding during winters.

Currency: Georgian Lari (GEL), US dollars are widely accepted.

Language: Official language is Georgian and very few people speak English.

Visa: Pakistanis need to prearrange a visa however if they have a residence permit of any of the GCC countries that can get an entry on arrival free of cost provided having a return ticket, hotel booking. I also suggest having travel insurance as sometimes the visa officers even ask for it.

Climate: Considering its size, it has a very diverse climate, making it ideal destination throughout the year. If you want to go for skiing, then head to Gudauri in winter, from December to February. Overall the best time to visit the country is during the months of April-June and September-October.

From trout fish to local meats mainly lamb, traditional cuisine includes various regional dishes. Khachapuri (Cheese filled bread) is a must.
