Georgia is probably the finest walker’s destination in Europe – and ranks in the world’s top twelve for landscape diversity (extraordinary for a nation the size of Ireland). It possesses several peaks higher than Mont Blanc, and more endemic species of animal and flower than any western European country. Yet it receives very few visitors.
Remarkably Georgia, ranks in the world's top twelve for geographical diversity. It contains the heart of the Caucasus mountains--larger and more dramatic than the Alps--subtropical wetlands, a Black Sea coast, semi-desert, all peppered with ancient stone towers and an exceptional history.

Peter Nasmyth - who lives partly in Tbilisi, partly in London and has written several books on the region – has received so many inquiries as to whether Georgia is ‘safe,’ he’s finally written his response – as the first ever walking guide. In this highly personal guide he presents 44 routes with maps, GPS coordinates, 109 colour photos, and sections on birds, flora and fauna.
