Why go

Koruldi Lakes lie high above Mestia, with an outlook toward Ushba and surrounding peaks. Reaching them on foot is a substantial mountain day, different from a lift-assisted Zuruldi view.

Vehicle approaches and walking routes vary. Choose an option suited to your group and keep a conservative turnaround in changeable weather.
