80 km
Duration
6 h
Max altitude
600 m

Entry needs a permit from the visitor centre in Dedoplistskaro. The clay tracks become completely impassable after rain, so spring and autumn are the seasons to go; in summer the temperature passes 40°C.

Safety

Weather in the high mountains turns fast. Ride in daylight, ride in a group, and tell someone your route. Season dates shift every year — check the state of the road before you set off.
