The second option is to hike to Mount Laila – Laila climbing tour. This mountain climbing can be considered equal to hiking as it is only short section which is technical and it is easily managable by well experienced and very fit hiker.

From Lahili you could see all summits of Svaneti and even Elbrus, the glacier is very beautiful and you reach 4000 meters.
