About Kazbegi

The town of Kazbegi—officially named Stepantsminda (სტეფანწმინდა:st'eh-pahn-ts'meen-dah), but better known under the old name of Kazbegi) -- is a mountain town on theGeorgian Military Highway. The town is 10 km south of the border with Russia, which is open again for some nationalities. On the western side of the river, the town is known asGergeti(გერგეტი:gehr-geh-t'ee), but for all intents and purposes of a visitor, it is one town. This pretty town is getting the increased attention it deserves, so there are increasing numbers of guest houses, restaurants and tourist facilities, but prices are inflated compared with the rest of the country.
