Koruldi Lakes, located near Mestia in Georgia's Svaneti region, offer stunning alpine scenery, making them a popular hiking destination. The trek to the lakes is moderately challenging, typically taking a full day (5-7 hours round trip) and best suited for those with reasonable fitness. While solo hiking is possible, hiring a local guide is recommended for safety and to learn about the area. The best time to visit is during the summer months (June-September) when the weather is favorable and the trails are clear of snow. Accessibility can be limited during the off-season due to snow and icy conditions. The cost involves transportation to Mestia, potential guide fees (approximately $30-$50 USD per day), and personal expenses. Be prepared for changing weather conditions and bring appropriate hiking gear, including sturdy boots, layers, and rain protection. The lakes themselves are free to visit.
