2025 Bakuriani Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

"Are you here to attack xxx!!!!!!" "Where are the attractions with no people!!!!" Every time I go out during the holidays, I always ask myself these questions from the depths of my soul. As we all know, in China, seeking out niche travel destinations has become a popular trend! If you don't want to be crowded when traveling in China and want to have a super comfortable travel experience, you might want to consider this visa-free and niche country - Georgia. It's so beautiful that it leaves you speechless! If you ask me which season I like best in Georgia, the answer is definitely winter. If Georgia in spring and summer is "God's backyard," then Georgia in winter is like a snow kingdom favored by God. If you want to find a cost-effective foreign destination to play in the snow in winter, I sincerely recommend you come here! It's visa-free and less crowded, so you can just grab your passport and go! 🍂Winter travel time: December to January is the best time to visit Georgia's ski resorts, and the experience is amazing! There is a time difference between here and China, which is 4 hours behind China. 🔶About travel: ✈️Transportation: In China, only Urumqi has direct flights to Tbilisi. It is more cost-effective to transfer from Abu Dhabi, Turkey, etc. A taxi from the airport to the city center costs about 30 GEL. 🪪Visa: It is visa-free for 30 days, and the entry process is very smooth, taking only two minutes. 💰Exchange rate: It is about 1:2.7. It is recommended to exchange US dollars or euros in China, as RMB cannot be exchanged directly. Of course, you can also withdraw money directly from local ATMs. 📱Communication: It is more expensive to buy a card on Taobao, so it is recommended to buy one at the magti business hall at the airport. Although it is a little more expensive than in the city, it saves time and effort. A 7-day unlimited data card is usually enough! 🚖Taxi: You can use Yandex Go and Uber in Tbilisi. There are two subway lines here, and you need to buy a transportation card (2 GEL) to take the subway, which costs 1 GEL each time. You can check out the previous post for a guide on how to buy a bus card. Winter limited niche attraction: "Georgia Snow Country Train Tour" The Kukushka train from Borjomi to Bakuriani is one of the most beautiful train journeys in the Caucasus. This 37-kilometer narrow-gauge railway winds through the forested foothills of the Caucasus Mountains. Along the way, you will enjoy the most beautiful scenery in the Samtskhe-Javakheti region. The train has two carriages, and there is a small balcony at the end of the train. Here, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery, and it is recommended to bring some snacks with you. Bakuriani is now a famous ski resort in Georgia, with 23 ski routes, suitable for both professionals and beginners. It is the most lively place in winter, and locals love to vacation here.

#Get a discount without relying on luck Review of Rooms hotel kokhta in Bakuriani This is another hotel in the Rooms hotel chain, the view may not be as good as Kazbegi, but it is suitable for those who come in winter because the ski lift is right next to the hotel. We came a bit early, there was no snow yet. The hotel is good according to the standard, the breakfast is good and has a lot of variety, the room is spacious, warm, the bathroom is spacious, there is no bidet. The hotel has many photo spots, it is not difficult to travel, it is only 40 minutes from Borjomi. P.S. There is no swimming pool like in Kazbegi.
