Day 1-3: Tbilisi | Unlock the Mother City of the Caucasus

🚌Transportation:

Day 5-6: Kazbek + Gudauri

• Dog-proofing tips: Carry Biskvitbi biscuits with you. If you encounter a Caucasian shepherd dog, you can actively feed it to show your goodwill
⛷️ Gudauri skiing hardcore parameters:
• For beginners, choose Sadzele 5 (slope 15°), and for advanced trails, rush Kobi3 (guide required in the wild snow area)

Day 7: Sighnaghi | Tipsy finale
🍷 Red wine pit avoidance guide:
• Wineries look for "Khareba" and "Pheasant's Tears", and be sure to refuse to drink bulk "Chacha" (easy to fake)
